Question

How many girls learnt about periods like the horrific opening scene in the film Carrie?

See the film... The girl had no idea what was going on, freaked naturally thinking she was dying as peers just laughed in her face due to a relgiously moral mother keeping her in the dark

Is this a reason to ban relgion or at least have anyone whos partenst in anyway to to get in the way of education arrested and punished hard and that no respect what sover is to be given in the name of culture, traditon and relgion the 3 evils on earth who are the cause of pain and abuse?

Should parents who would let that happen to their kid by deliberately witholding information be beaten up for hurting their kid to get soem sick relgious kick out of the thought of how much truma it would cause their daughter?

or how else should them be punished to make them feen more hurt then they inflicted plus all the shock and long term damage they done?

Answer 1

well the sad thing was i was almost that girl, i was in the 6th grade and i was feeling crappy that day and at the end of the day my friends mom drove up all home and i had to pee, i go into the bathroom, pull my pants and underwear down sit, then i look down and start screaming at the top of my lungs! i didn't know what the hell was going on my sister was the only one home she runs in the bathroom starts laughing but she don't know what to do so she calls my aunt and all she tells her to do is walk in there hand he a pad and say welcome to womanhood............. so she did it and walked out, i was so confused i had to call my friends mom. that's was the saddest and scariest day of my life!

Answer 2

I learned about it way before I ever got it but when I did get it everything I learned went out the window. It was worse than any gory bloody scene in any movie! I was wearing ALL white and was changing in the locker room in Junior high. I got blood everywhere...from the locker room to the bathroom and then from the bathroom all the way to the nurses office on the other side of school. It was absolutely humiliating. I pray that no other girl has to go through that. When something like that happens all you can do is wait for everyone to forget about it. It's natural.

Answer 3

I am praying to God that that happens to no girl these days, but you can never tell. Her mother should have explained to her what was going to go on when she got older, I should know, my mother really never went into specifics, and I ended up starting at school one day and I nearly freaked out. But then I remembered the whole one day story and I freaked out less. Then was the inevitable walk back to the classroom after I was too embarrased to go to the office to get the goods ((friend had too)) and was wondering if anyone knew...lol, I didn't remember why I was worried if anyone knew, but starting without knowing anything would be really scary, but if someone was throwing tampons at me like they were in that movie, I would make one of those girls eat one...

Answer 4

Unfortunately I am sure that it still happens. It was an interesting film - and while you may not agree with the actions of the mother or Carrie's peers, you can also understand both points of view. The mother obviously had also had a bad upbringing. - And her classmates would have been both disgusted with the sight and amazed at her lack of knowledge.
I actually think that boys of my age knew more about periods than I did when it happened to me.

Answer 5

you realize that carrie was a film based around a novel by stephen king?? and if youve ever read anything by him you'll know he is a bit weird and has weird, sicker ideas floating around in his brilliant head. and yeah its wrong for parents to withold information from their kids. but these days with tv and the internet, kids can learn a hell of a lot more stuff on their own

Answer 6

'I haven't seen the film but no one told me and when it happened I had heard at school that you are pregnant if you have a period. I had my first one and was crying because I didn't want a baby...I was 10 and a half. A teacher saw me and asked me what was wrong.so I innocently told her I was expecting a baby. she then questioned me as to how it happened. I told her what had happened and what another girl had told me. She gently said No you aren't having a baby . Go home now and tell your mother what has happened. That is nothing. My cousin got married and she ran away from her husband on the first night because she didn't know what was expected of her as she was so innocent. She ran to my aunts in the middle of the night (her own mother died when she was very small) and told my aunt..".my husband is trying to kill me." My aunt and my aunts sister had to gently explain to her what he was trying to do!!!! Yes...they were religious and so was my mother. !!!!! Yes it does happen in this day and age!!!!!!!

Answer 7

NO fortunately for me my mother informed me about the woman's curse when I came home with a note from my elementary school teacher telling her that they needed her permission to show us The Change of Life Video. I don't know of any religions they tell them to keep a vital and important fact away from there child. Then again people interpret what they want from stuff.

Answer 8

observed 5, the position they ought to placed their fingers in and bleed out because of a observed. And the section the position the persons had to diminish off body aspects, weighing more effective than the others, to live to inform the tale.

Answer 9

Yeah, well, her mother was a wack-job. The only way I can see that happening is if they started when they were like 7 or something which I heard is the world record for youngest period.

Answer 10

Well i didn't. we all learnt about it in year 5 at school. So ill have been about 9/10. I didn't start till my teens though. hopefully no-one has to find out that way, what an experience!!!
