What was your first menstural (period) experience like?

I got mine when I was eleven also. It was the first day of sixth grade. I was in the bathroom and I saw a bit of blood. I was like holy s**t. So I wrapped my jacket around my waist and nothing happened the rest of the day. So when I got home I told my grandma and she told me to get one of my mom's pads. So she told my mom and my mom tried to have the talk with me but I was like I learned it already in ed so she let it go and I was thankful for that. I also leaked a couple timed during school and was forced to tell the nurse.
