4. They certainly knew THIS 12 year old girl was missing a lot of school

Mon Feb 13, 2012, 04:20 PM

Feb 2012

from severe cramps and heavy periods for 7 full days. I couldn't go to school when I couldn't stand up, or was in the bathroom on the hour changing my pad, to put it bluntly. Do you know how humilating it is to wear plastic panties at 12 years old to TRY to, um, prevent it from getting, nevermind. Was I supposed to get married and make babies at 12 years old?

I prayed away my MEDICAL problem? Miracle? No, the Pill, and a lot of B12 vitamins for anemia, solved my problem. Besides the birth control issue, the MEDICAL issue makes me furious.

BTW, not just my Mom recognized the health issue. My DAD too said that this could not possibly be healthy for a young girl. Seeing my PAIN upset him greatly. Apparantely, the male bishops of the CC, have NO COMPASSION; for either women or young girls.
