can you please explain how a kid having a seizure is a main part of the story about your first period?
the week before i got my first period, i was sent to a sleep away ice hockey camp in upstate new york. i was about 7 hours away from home. the problem with the camp is that i was 12 at the time and my mom signed me up too late for my to be in my age group, so they put me in a group of 15+ year old boys from brooklyn. they always got in trouble so they got punished with physical activities like wall sits (ugh) and sprints and laps. i'd never worked out that hard in my life. i never would again.
point it, i was basically miserable that entire week. i valued the lunches and dinners and breaks, except one time when the boys did damage the dorms we were in and i, having nothing to do with it, was called out of my room to be punished for something i literally had no clue was going on
i was exhausted and sore and in a lot of pain. it was fucking terrible.
on the last day, i was in so much pain, i couldn't move my body and i had to sit out the activities
cut to my parents having picked me up and we're at a rest stop somewhere. i am in the bathroom alone. i go to pee. i see a red spot. the logical conclusion i had was that the camp worked me so hard i was peeing blood. BUT THEN I REMEMBER:
one of the lunches, i went to get juice and i was walking right behind a kid. he just dropped to the floor and starting having a seizure right in front of me. at that time, i thought he must have been worked really hard by his coaches as well.
now i'm in the bathroom, remembering this kid having a seizure. i came to the logical conclusion that this was a sign i was dying and i was goign to have a seizure. however, unlike most people, my honest-to-god next thought was, "eh, i've lived a good life". i finished up, got in the car, my mom asked me if i was alright, and i said yes, genuinely thinking i would have seizures soon, and that i'd let her deal with my death in the morning, i was too tired to deal with it then.
it was only the next day when i woke up (alive) and my mom saw the underwear and told me what it was i was like "oh lol"
