period
Wait, do people have like parties and ceremonies when you get your periods? None of my friends did that...
What do they do at these parties and why would you have one its personal.

Only certain religions & cultures do that. They see it as a girl becoming a woman so they celebrate, but not everyone does it.

I think I know what question that you're talking about. People in our culture usually don't celebrate their periods, but in other countries and religions, it's part of their culture, and every girl goes through it. Don't worry, you're not a lone, I don't know anybody else personally that has had a party when they got their period. In other cultures, I think it's letting everybody know that they are now a woman, and some maybe that they're ready to get a husband/have babies.

No, people do not usually have parties for their periods. I'm 99% sure that the question you saw, it was the persons religon to celebrate it. Like almost letting the world ( friends and family ) that they are now a women. I'm guessing it was the one with the bra thing.
So no, people don't have parties usually.

I'd feel awkward letting people know that I got my period. As you can see things like that are extremely personal to me.
I guess some people like to celebrate with loved ones the fact that they are now women. You should be proud to be a women, but I really don't see the need for telling many people about it. When I first had my period the only person I told was my mom.
However, it is possible that the people asking these questions are from another culture where that is acceptable. If that is the case, then we just need to accept that.

They only do this in africa.
Yeah I know its personal, psh. I would never have a period party. Thats freaking wierd and insane.
But its a tradition in other countries.

Uh I have never heard of that before. Ceremonies when you get your periods? When all us girls got our periods... we didn't have parties about it or anything.
Yeah, it is personal. Who actually does this now? I think they do it.. to show off. Or it's probably one of those.. "i've become a woman" party thing.
This is kind of weird.

Personally, I don't see a large need for a big celebration. However, I do see how it can be special for a girl to celebrate her coming into womanhood. But, I could see it causing a whole level of embarassment because you're right, it is an extremely personal ordeal that you may not want to share with the world right away. I didn't want to show it off, but some girls may feel good, as in "yes! I am a woman! Here I am world!" Haha.. maybe?
hope this helps-
