You have a stain on your pants
What is that?
it's like a stain. so do you want me to take a picture of it?
ok

It looks like this but I know that it can come off with like cold water
cold water helps a lot
but do you know what it is?
No
it's okay it used to happen to me all the time
It's a period, right?
it's totally natural, nothing to be afraid of
It comes once a month. I do know that they sell pads, there's a store right there
Did you want me to get anything for you? Yeah
For sure, just because I know it use to happen to me all the time
Hey how old are you?
I'm 11.

Do you know what a period is?
No?
Oh that's ok, it's ok
I'm scared
Are you here with your mom?

Every girl gets one
there you go. I just wanted to make sure you knew
okay thank you
okay I would go talk to your mom you can go tell her that
You probably started your period. It's just normal girl thing. every girl goes through it
You can get a little pad so it doesn't go through your pants, you know what I mean?
sis you have blood
What do you mean?
You period leaked through your pants
What do you mean by period?
there's blood on your pants, a lot on your....
it's like further down
Do you wanna take off your sweater and tie around your waist?
okay
try this with other sleeves
I think you started your period, do you have any?
What do you mean period?
Just like every month something happens when you hit puberty as a girl
it's normal though, every girl goes through it
yeah you just like bleed for a week but it's normal
okay but what does it do?
um it just basically means that you're not pregnant
which is good.
I don't understand but okay
ok I could take you to a bathroom if you want me to
okay
Hi
Do you mind? maybe you could get something in your bag
because you have something in your pants
what do you mean?
I don't know.
You could just go in that area and you could just cover yourself
maybe you could remove your sweater and cover it up
okay
ok good luck
Hey do you want to go to the bathroom?
What do you mean?
You have something on your pants, I can give you something
What is that?
Blood
I'm scared
Do you want to go to the bathroom?
Let's take you to the bathroom
Yeah come on
Not a single man approached her
except one
Are you alright? Where are your parents at?
Huh?
I said where are your parents at?
I live with my grandma right now
Where's your grandma?
uh she's gonna pick me up from school
she's gonna pick you up from school?
yeah
Do you have her number?
right here? okay got it
hello
so yeah i have your granddaughter here and she's bleeding right now so can you pick her up early?
oh yeah you're at work. okay all right thank you
she's coming right now
okay thank you
hi how are you?
I'm fine
um did you know you started?
what do you mean?
did you start your period?
what does it mean?
um usually when you start like a woman like becoming older and stuff like that
once a month you'll start bleeding down here
and you kind of have blood on the back side of you
do you need help or like any products or anything?
do you know anything about this?
what do you mean about blood? I'm scared
what do you mean the blood?
it's okay. we could take off your jacket and then just put over the side we could just cover it
okay
I think there's a bathroom somewhere over there and we could like change
are you okay with that? okay
It's a good idea to talk to you child about menstruation early
No girl should be scared or embarrassed when experiencing her period
