For young girls, starting your period is a weird time.。

Your body is doing new stuff, you feel gross and moody and you feel like no one else in the world knows what you're going through. And although starting to menstruate is a natural thing, talking about it to friends or, especially, family, can be uncomfortable and embarrassing.
。

For 12-year-old Brooke Lee, starting her period turned into a grand celebration when her mom Shelly threw her a "period party," equipped with a delicious cake that read, "Congrats on your period." 。

Friends and family attended to support Brooke, gift her with tampons and pads and celebrate the milestone.。

Brooke's cousin, Autumn Jenkins, posted pictures of the bash on Twitter:。

Thanks for signing up! 。
