Why god, why?

Oh man, this happened to so many girls this year in my classes...I cringed.

I was never shy about my period in high school. I'd take a pad or tampon out of my bag, but it in my pocket, and ask to use the washroom. Don't care who's looking

Tbh everybody always know I'm on my period I talk about it so much

It hasn't ever happened in any of my classes, but I'd feel bad for the person of which that happens to.

I still haven't had my first period... Cuz I'm a guy

It is the fuel to almost every girl's fire

one time my teacher asked my why i was taking my bag and i told her i was on my period but she didnt believe me so i had to take the pad out of my bag in front of everyone

Yeah. I never understood why having people know you're on your period is a bad/awkward/uncomfortable thing. It's like really? Half the population goes through it monthly, what's the problem?

Once while taking out cards to play with I threw a pad onto the table without knowing only until my friends started laughing

Teachers need to understand. I hate when they ask that

teacher: why are you taking your bag with you?
me: i just can't pee without it. the bag makes me more relaxed!!!!!!
teacher:.........
teacher: .......
whole class: .......
me: HOW 'BOUT THAT MRS. EXPOSING BASTARD!!!

Back in middle school, the Spanish teacher was being asked bya student if she could go to the bathroom during class. He said no because she was just going to skip class. Then she said, "I'm on my period," and he said, "show me the pad."
I wasn't in the class when this happened, but everyone in that class agreed on the story. That was his only year teaching at my middle school.
