This didn’t happen to me but to my best friend. She came into our form room, at break, crying. I didn’t know what to do so I asked her what was wrong. Turns out she got her period during drama and when she asked to go to the loo the teacher, who was a male, said no. Then he told her to sit down. When she stood up her period had stained the chair and all the boys took about two steps back. They all avoided her like she had the plague. The girls were understanding and helped her out. I then went and asked one of the boys why they didn’t help her and he said, “it’s lady problems and periods are disgusting.” I then said if I cut my leg would he help me and he replied with a yes, so I then said that is the same thing it is just blood and she was embarrassed BECAUSE he avoided her. I think this is unacceptable that boys avoid girls when they have their period. Is it just me or is this completely wrong? We are 14 by the way.
