Period. (a Short Film)
Twelve year old Vivian is counting the days to her first period. Armed with scant information (it's the 80's!) and the help of only her single dad and best male buddy, she finds navigating "the event" is way more complex and comedic than she ever expected.
Over 8 million people have watched this on CZcams so far. Thank you!!! Unfortunately, CZcams content moderators decided after 3 years, that showing a clean pad was not appropriate content, so we've had to edit out that bit and put the video back up. We hope the girls who tell us they come back to watch it every month can still find it!
If you're looking for information, a pretty good overall discussion is available at www.webmd.com/parenting/features/daughters-first-period-how-to-prepare. It's for parents, but good for girls to read as well.

    🩸My First Period🩸 So I was walking to fifth period at school and my friend and I sit right next to each other and she already had hers so i sat down and I got "that feeling" and i looked at my friend and I gave her the look and she was like is that "it" and i nodded my head and we held up her Chromebook and she gave me a pad and i asked my teacher to go to the bathroom and she said yes and the most ironic part was it was literally Halloween so i walked around trick or treating with a pad in and i was in sixth grade at the time

    I think that that boys need to be more respectful to women and young girls on their period. I also think that men need to be respectful of women and young girls as well. Not just run off. I would have been that girls friend and not run off. I got my period when I was In fifth grade. To all the ladies young women or women out there it is ok if you get your period. Just remember that you are special and always will be special. May God bless and keep you and may God brighten all of your days for you and may God be with you to guide and protect you.

    I got my first period at 9 it was traumatizing for me at the time and I was using the bathroom and realized there was blood.i didn’t think anything of it because I was like it’s not my period I’m 9! Well later on I went to the bathroom again and the blood was still there.la few hours later I was gonna go to my friends house and play. Then I went to the bathroom and there was a lot of blood in my underwear. I told my friend and she said to go tell her mom. I was starting to get nervous and started to overthink the whole situation.her mom came and I just broke out in tears I couldn’t stop crying.i went home and then I watched a ,live with my parents while eating coffee chip icecream.

    Theres this one kid in my grade whos supposed to be in a grade younger and he is really immature who thinks he knows everything but once my friend was like "Ow my period cramps are hurting so bad" and he was like "why do girls always say period period slay slay?" and when he asked me what I was reading (a book about a girl getting her period) I told him "You wouldn't understand" and he started mimicking me in a baby voice. The most immature 8th grader i've ever met!

    i got my first period at 11 years old. it was an hour before a christmas dance at my middle school. i remember sitting on the toilet and texting my friends about how excited i was, then standing up and seeing blood in the toilet. my father was the only one home, since my mother was going grocery shopping. i remember yelling "daaaaad. i think i got my periooood." then he walked in and straight up said "yup. smells like period blood in here." then called my mom to get me pads and menstrual pills. i'm really glad that my parents told me about the signs that i might start my period a year beforehand, and now i don't feel awkward about it :3

I got mine at 12, luckily over the weekend 😅 It wasn't the end of the world. At 30 yrs old, I sure could do without them. Tired of wondering if I'll wake up to a mess in the bed lol

  • @Jeonso-nabi

    I got mine this year. (2024) Backstory FIRST!: Throughout my whole time of being 13, i was always fretting about getting my period. Sometimes, i would continuously check my underwear because i was so scared for it to happen. Fast forward: before my birthday, i happened to use the restroom after dancing with my lil sister. Mind you, i was turning 14. Anyway, i looked in my underwear randomly and saw spots of blood. I was really confused until i also looked in the toilet and saw drops of blood. I quietly freaked out and was inernally screaming. I almost cried because i wasnt ready for my period. So i quickly opened the bottom cabinet in the restroom and thank god my family keeps pads and sruff under there. I quickly snatched a mini pad and put it in my underwear. I wiped and flushed(washed hands) and left the bathroom like it was nothing. After a couple minutes, i told my mom i saw spots of blood in my underwear. She also told my grandma, older sis and i told my younger sis. I didnt mind it though because they are girls but i was really embarrassed to say anything. When my mom told my older sister, she literally smiled and hugged me.(ill tell you why later). So anyway, i was told vy my mom to tell herif anything else happens. So that night, i was relieved to find nothing more had happened. A couple days later after my birthday, my dad and brother were leaving to go fishing. Suddenly my lower stomach started cramping. I panicked because thats exactly how it felt a couple days before when i kinda bled. Me, my siblingz, mom, dad, and brother were in my parents room. I was in pain but didn't show it because i can tolerate it. But i was literally annoyed because my dad and brother werent leaving yet. When theh finally did, i told my mom about my cramps. She told me to quickly use the restroom. When i did, i screamed. She knocked and asked what happened and i said im bleeding. She told me not to panic and that i started my period. I started panicking, telling her i cant start, im too young. I wiped and my mom came in to look, as well as my grandma, just to make sure. She said "yep, you started!" I literally almost passed out. ANOTHER BACKSTORY: My older sister(17) started her period when she was 13 (i was 10-11). I woke up one day and started gettng confused because my sister was holding a pad and my mom was talking to her. My sis went to the restroom, and my mom came to my room. I asked what happened and she told me that my sis started her period. I said ohh like it was nothing but i was really jealous. I was really really really desperate to get my period when i was 10-11 because i wanted to be cool and get 'special treatment' (let me sum it up. In my eyes, that special treatment was that if i got my period i would be cool, have to carry around a period bag, and able to do other stuff.) So anyway, i got highly jealous of my sister for the longest time. (BACK TO THE TIME I FIRST GOT MY PERIOD!!) So unlike other girls (i THINK), mine lasted for 7 days without skipping a day, ALL HEAVY FLOW!!. like..ya girl fr wiped so many times..anyway. i heard when you first start its only supposed to last 3 days before advancing to seven but not mine. So thats what also made me freak out lol.(end of story.) ★Spoiler: I started my period today and i am currently going good.★ Don't be afraid of your period, it happens to all woman/females. If you have an embarrassing story, don't be afraid to embrace it lols! 🎉 You're still here?... Wait- YOU ACTUALLY READ ALL THAT...GIR- Thanks !! If you're STILL here, make sure to have the greatest of days no matter the weather, mood or state of emotion you're in. Love you and keep going! (I purple you !!)

      It's ok to not get it at 11 but most of my fellow friend got it at 10/11. And I used to feel so childish for that bc I didn't get it as early as them. And even me concern that I haven't got the first one after turning 12 but It's been a week and 3 days after I'm turning 12 and yeah my body only allowed me to get it at 12 even tho It supposed to be at 11 so yeah that day I got it at 12 and I'm pretty sure u get it on a moment when you are finally 12🙂
