My DD started her periods today and is absolutely devastated, poor lamb. I have done my very best to prepare her for this day, books, chats, choosing supplies in Boots etc. But she has sobbed and sobbed all evening and her eyes are are very sore.
She says shes just wants to stay a child and does not feel ready to grow into a lady. She doesnt want anyone at school to know.
She has only just fallen asleep in bed with me, clutching her teddy.
I was 11 and remember feeling the same, hence trying to be well prepared for DD.
Feel rubbish on her behalf...
