picking the time period for your story

The theme of the story is important. A horror story might be set in a time period with superstitions and dark beliefs, like the Middle Ages.

The time period can greatly impact the plot. For example, in a historical time period, there may be strict social hierarchies. This can create conflicts for characters who try to break free from their assigned social roles. If it's a future time period, the plot might revolve around new technologies and how they change society or human relationships.

My first time getting my period was at home. I was just sitting on the couch, watching TV. All of a sudden, I noticed something different. I was really confused and a bit embarrassed. But my mom had already talked to me about it before. So I just went to get a pad from the bathroom cabinet and told my mom. She gave me a big hug and told me it was a sign that I was growing up.

Well, consider your characters first. If your main character is an old-fashioned detective, perhaps a time period in the early 20th century would be suitable. You also need to think about the events you want to include. If there are going to be a lot of technological advancements as part of the plot, a more modern time period would be better. Another factor could be the mood you want to create. A medieval time period might create a sense of mystery and adventure, while a contemporary time period can be used for stories that deal with current social issues.

Mine was really unexpected. I was at school and suddenly felt this strange discomfort. I went to the bathroom and saw the blood. I was so scared and didn't know what was going on at first. I ended up asking one of my older classmates, and she helped me out. She gave me a pad and told me it was normal.

The first time I got my period, I was at a sleepover at my friend's house. I woke up in the middle of the night feeling really strange. When I saw the blood, I panicked. I was too shy to tell my friend or her mom. I ended up trying to wash my underwear in the sink as quietly as possible. It was a really nerve - wracking experience.

I was at school when I got my first period. I had no idea what was happening and I was wearing white pants. I suddenly felt a wetness and when I went to the bathroom, I was so horrified. I didn't have any pads with me and I was too embarrassed to tell anyone. I ended up tying my sweater around my waist to hide the stain and waiting until school was over to go home and deal with it.

For me, I noticed that I was getting really moody all of a sudden. Little things would make me cry or get really angry. And then I started having these mild cramps in my lower abdomen. I didn't realize at first that these could be signs of my first period coming, but looking back, they were clear indicators.

I was a bit confused at first. I knew it was going to happen someday but when it did, I was like 'oh, this is it'. And then I felt a mix of excitement and nervousness because it was a sign of growing up.

I was terrified. I thought I was seriously ill or something was really wrong with me. I didn't know it was a normal part of growing up.
