Nowadays, I'm the kind of person who will grab a tampon out of her purse with no attempt to hide it and loudly announce 'I have to go control my uterine bleeding, be back whenever. If I don't come back, I had a huge blood clot get stuck in my vagina and I died so come find my corpse please.'
But back in the day when I was one of exactly two girls in my class to have their period, it was a bit freaky. My mom got me one of those little purse things that you put pads or whatever in. I never used it - it was big and bulky unlike a tampon which I could fit into a pocket, so everyone knew I was going to change anyway. Really though, if she's already in high school, chances are she's in the minority of just starting her period. EVERYONE hates the rustle of bleeding-control items, but you get used to it. *shrug*
