Dear Diary,
I started !!!!!!!!! I had my period !!!!!!!!!!! 6th grade, a new house, braces and now this !!!!!! HELP !!!!!!!!!


What girl doesn't remember starting her period? For months I had heard of other girls getting their periods and I had hoped for mine. I remember my disappointment when it finally happened and I had horrible cramps. I didn't feel suddenly grown up. I felt messy. I felt grouchy. I felt a little depressed. I just laid on the couch with a heating pad and thought that someone should have mentioned that getting your period really isn't fun. That "Blossoming Into A Woman" class in 5th grade was very misleading.
