i hope, as a society, we can teach our children to not face periods with embarrassment and shame. unfortunately, i bled heavily through my trousers today. i was faced with giggles and laughter from people in younger years, many of them were young girls. i was not embarrassed, just a bit annoyed at myself for not realising sooner. i was also concerned for how these teenagers were being raised. there is nothing wrong with periods. sometimes, people leak and bleed through their clothes. it is a natural thing which should not be laughed at. this stigma needs to end. periods are natural.
