Awkward experiences in school

I have so many posts related to school otl.


On Thursday, a teacher came into my classroom and told us female students that after recess we were to go to the open hall to do "something" and left us to ponder what that "something" could be. A classmate of mine remarked that the last time we had a "female students only meeting" it was about how dirty the toilets were, which lead many of us to think that maybe this will be a repeat of that very meeting. 

However, I was soon told by my friend from the neighbouring class that that was unfortunately, not the case. Apparently her teacher told her class that we were going to have a little photoshoot session for... sanitary pads. "Well that explains the "females only" part", I thought. My friends and I couldn't stop cringing at the idea of holding sanitary pads and smiling for the camera because imagine just how awkward that would be!

Long story short, we received our pads for free, shot some videos thanking the company, took some photos and that was it. Which brings us to our next problem: how were we going to hide our pads away from the perverted and childish eyes of the male species of our classes? We couldn't stuff them in our pockets as they were to thick, nor could we hide them under our shirts/skirts because that would be too obvious. So, we opted for a bold option: the "we don't give a f*ck" option where none of us tried to hide our pads. The boys were bound to find out about it anyway so why hide them?

Side note: As we walked past a couple of boys- who were in the hall either to spy on us or who were under-educated pricks who for the love of god have never seen a pad in their lives- they shouted:" AHAHAHAHA GIRLS HAVE PERIODSSSSSSS." YES BOYS, GIRLS HAVE BLOOD BLEEDING OUT FROM THEIR FREAKING VAGINA EVERY ONCE IN A MONTH, WHAT IS YOUR POINT? WHERE IS THE HUMOUR IN THAT SENTENCE BECAUSE I SURE AS HELL CAN'T HEAR IT.

When we got to class, I was caught off guard when I saw that our teacher -who rarely came to class- was surprisingly present. Side note: Before we went in though, some of our male classmates lined up outside our class for reasons that were unknown to me. One of the boys jokingly asked us what was the meeting about (even though they so obviously knew the answer) and the one of the girls retorted with words I can't seem to remember. After hurriedly shoving my pads into my bag, I looked up and saw that the sentence "what is p _ d" was written on the whiteboard. It didn't take me long to realise what the boys and my (male) teacher were discussing about during our absence. 

Come to think of it though, this isn't the first awkward experience I've had in school. When I was 15, my school distributed deodorant because smelly teens need to get their b.o in check. Also, not too long ago we had sex education for the first time and let me tell ya' : it was very, VERY WEIRD. They made us repeat the sentence: BE SMART AND REFRAIN FROM COMMITTING ADULTERY over and OVER again! Then they showed us weird pics and disturbing videos which involved abortion, side effects of various diseases ( which of course are related to sex) and so forth. All in all... it was a very uncomfortable situation to be put in. The worst thing was that the school board only gave us a subtle hint that we were going to undergo sex education on that day! Shouldn't this be a choice? Why must my time be wasted and my innocence further robbed? As if Biology didn't give us enough information on sex and the effects of sleeping around. Then again, there are students who don't study Biology... UGH WHATEVER.

I hope that I don't have to go through any awkward experiences ever again, though something tells me that there are more to come. After all, I have 1 more year left in that lovely school of mine. Oh how wonderful that is.


That's it for this post, till my next post, bye!
