I just had a student come into my office explaining to me that she started her period and the bathroom is out of tampons. She had her wallet in her hand, which I noticed, but didn't think much of it. She then offered to pay me for the tampons!!

I told her no no, those are for everyone! Remember for next time, and tell your friends!!!

Compare this to another girl who comes in and complains because I am not stocking the pads with wings as she grabs a handful of pads. She's homeless, so I don't raise a stink about what she takes, but geez!!

I had one right now that is ALWAYS bleeding through her pants and no matter how many times I tell her to be responsible with her body and bring extra pants, pads with her and also track her periods through her phone, she won't listen. And she's a heavy bleeder so she's using only regular pads... :banghead:
