I have become a woman

Adolescence is a particularly important period of every woman’s life. It is a long-lasting process specific for each one of us. Some girls begin maturation already at the age of eight, the others – when they are sixteen. When a girl becomes a woman her body changes; hips get round, breast start to grow, pubic and armpit hair appear and whole body grows at intense pace. Beside these easily visible changes there are also very significant inner ones. The first menstruation. appears. It is an exceptional experience for each one of us – it is a sign that we have entered a special time in woman’s life. It’s an important moment you’ll never forget.

When this big day comes, you are glad and proud because you had finally got through it, and on the other hand, while closing the stage of wonderful childhood, you wonder what adulthood would bring.

You need to realize that the first periods of young girls are usually very irregular. The next one may appear in two weeks just as well as in several months. Your organism needs time to properly adjust itself and work out its own course. However, from now on menstruation will be a part of your life; it will appear more or less regularly, and along with your period you will have to face some inconveniences – headaches, stomach aches or mood swings. But its regularity, which will sometimes make your life difficult, is a sign that your organism works impeccably and you do not need to worry about your health.
