Hi I will tell u my story 8 years back I got my period in 2019 may 29th. The best and worst thing happen too me for 3 days I had to sit alone eat alone my mom won’t touch me till I m on the 3rd day and have washed my hair which was in their language the time after which all are impurities go away. I was in 5 th std and tbh I loved and craved physical touch I wanted hugs all time and I was really attached to my mom it always irritated me why this.? Why was I treated like an impure person? Why can’t we talk about it openly for 8 fucking ass year I kept asking this to everyone no one likes to be treated like this but my mom was treated like the same and so her baggage was put on to me. Now I don’t crave hug I want distance I don’t like if my mom hugs me or my dad only my brother who is supportive of me I only like hugs from him weird right the kid who craved physical touch suddenly doesn’t like it? There was angry suppressed for 8 years and today I snapped. My mom who is 24 hour on her phone uses it for listening to stupid ass liar ppl online like yeh karegen toh yeh hoga. Who uses technology too much and changes with time still have a back ward thinking in 2026 ? I was on pills for delaying my periods because I had to go to mandir where periods aren’t allowed right? Cuz god told us that women who are on her periods are impure right? So I had light pink spotting yesterday and told my mom about she said ur periods started while I the bleeding still didn’t get start and mind u it the 2 day as per my mom I can’t cook I can’t go into kitchen make my own food it was like i m in jail and my mom comes give me the food not in my hand but on floor of far from where she can’t touch me. Seeing this all even my brother was irritated think my grandma was against this all she didn’t care if I was on periods or not cuz she knew that the 3 days rest period was made for women so they can have rest due to the cramps and bleeding even she is educated more than my mom and dad. It should have been a shame for them that they are so backward in thinking. I asked my mom I m not having bleeding so my periods haven’t started yet in front of my brother and u k what she did she shushed me so loud that it felt like a insult my brother didn’t give a fuck he understands and is supportive thank god he stood up and spoke up for me. Than my mom went silent but this hurt me so much. Pls ppl of India especially move forward with ur mindset because of u India still stated backwards. Pls share this and ignore my English. And pls spread awareness periods aren’t impure. Pls don’t distant ur lil girls from they need u in that hard time they crave ur comfort I didn’t get it but I hope my kids and other girls get it.
