I started my period when I was 11. It's very hard to have a period when you are poor. We use old cloths for periods and it's very dirty. We cannot afford pads. Sometimes I cannot go to school because I have nothing to help with my periods. some girls in our area even sleep with old men so that they can get some pads. It is very bad. I wish for more education on these subjects and for us to be free to talk about the periods.
