Dundundun... PERIODS

A period is probably the most defining thing in puberty for a young woman. It shows us that now, we can concieve children. So, be careful. Someday I will have a spiel on pregnancy, blah-blah-blah, but today is not that day (love Lord of the Rings!) Today is the day for the period spiel.
Younger girls often think that older girls pee blood. Obviously, this is wrong. The blood is from our vagina. I assume that if you are really wondering when you will be getting your period, then you know where the vagina is.
There are some signs of starting your period:
Breast development
Growth spurt
Pubic or underarm hair
Spotting or discharge
Now, I'll assume that you know what breast development, growth spurts, and pubic hair are. But you may not know what spotting is. Spotting is when you bleed small amounts, or "spots" on your panties. Spotting is NOT always red. Sometimes, it is brown. This is because the blood coming out is often old, and you know what happens to old blood, it becomes brown.
Discharge is different. If you notice something white and crusty on your panties, this is discharge. Dishcharge can be milky white or clear, and it comes from the vagina. It tends to be clear when you are aroused or "wet", and milky when it's just your body doing it's thing.
I'll write more later, but now I have to go,
