I was nearly 14; I woke up one Saturday morning during summer vacation and it had started. I had a horseback riding lesson later so I didn't tell my mom because I was afraid she wouldn't let me go. I put a washcloth in my underwear and went riding. Later on that day I told my mom and she was so excited for me. She went out and bought me flowers and made me a cake. All in all it was not a bad experience. I do wish I'd get flowers and cake every month, though
