Periods Suck…Period
Avery
Seven Years Ago
Imagine the most embarrassing situation possible. Now imagine getting your
first period at the same time. That’s me. Emerson Avery, queen of
embarrassment and I wear my crown like I was born with it atop my head.
At fifteen, I was quite the late bloomer when it came to meeting Aunt
Flow, but I would learn about all the messed up and masochistic things my
body was doing to itself three years later. I had the boobs and the odd
outbreak of zits, but the red river had eluded me until the start of the tenth
grade, and I was convinced that my mom had jinxed me.
She finally gave me
“The Talk” about sex and boys, and then, BOOM! Hello, menstruation. Mind
you, I’d already long past heard about shark week and sex. All my friends had
their periods, and some were already doing the dirty. Plus, you know, books,
TV, the internet, and school gossip. I don’t live under a rock.
When you think about it, there’s a litany of euphemisms for menstruation.
There’s irony in the fact that the one thing only females suffer through starts
with the word “men.” It’s as if a bunch of men were sitting around making the
Webster’s Dictionary, had a case of FOMO, and thought, “I know, let’s call
it menstruation.”
Idiots.
Let’s be honest; men aren’t missing out. This is why PMS stands for
“Putting up with Men’s Shit.”
And whoever thought to call a period “a monthly friend” is a fucking
asshole. What kind of friend goes out of their way to make your boobs sore,
your face break out, and your insides feel like hosting a revolt against biology?
My first period was so embarrassing. If my best friend Holly hadn’t
stepped in to recuse me, I would have died on the spot.
We were in tenthgrade gym class, and I’d been feeling off all day with what I thought was a
stomachache.
WRONG!
In the middle of running track, Holly discretely jogged up behind me and
whispered in my ear that I had blood running down my leg. I was mortified.
The boys’ hockey team was outside practicing conditioning drills, and, by
Murphy’s Law, this included my crush, Ryan Gunner. He looked so sexy in
the sunshine, and I was running around looking like I belonged on Crime
Scene Investigation.
