    Hello my name is ellie and iv started my first period. now my parents are crazy religious people now when i say that i dont mean like you would normally think it to mean, no today has cemented in my mind that they are clinically insane! so my parents have always been squemish around the topic of sex but when i approached my mom about my period seeking advice and tampons her reaction was to tell my father and than he told me i am not allowed to leave the house until the bleeding stops and god has purged my body of sin for the month, are you fucking serious! now i desperatly need somthing common around my home to stop the bleeding up until now iv been using toilet paper but im running out and i need somthing so i dont ruin my clothes and my bed thank you.

    Grab some toilet paper, attach it to your underwear with a band-aid, and voila! Improvised sanitary pad. And If you're very desperate, cotton handkerchiefs can take you a long way. Good luck with the crazies.

    I am really sorry about this. I know your mom overreacted (yes an insane amount), but could you maybe go back to her and ask her what she uses when this happens? If not do you have paper towels in the kitchen, or a towel that no one would notice is missing that you could cut into a few washable strips? Maybe there are old bedsheets that no one uses anymore instead? Basically any fabric that isn't used and won't be missed. These you could wash (they won't look pretty or clean after though) and reuse in the future.

    You're welcome. I can't say I've been in a situation like that before, but if you need to talk you can message me.

    I'm not sure that to deprive you of what all girls need at some point--is legal. I suggest you mention this to a school counselor and see what happens. Religion does not trump common sense. I would define this as abuse.

    And to add: get the hell out of there as soon as possible!

    Yeah, for sure tell a counselor. What are you supposed to do when school starts, miss a week of school every month? Definitely get another adult involved as I agree this sounds like abuse.

    Frankly, I'm never surprised at religious nuts and their cockamamie ideas. But to put an idea/condition like this on a young girl may actually BE
    considered insane. Or at the least a weird and cruel aberration.What the hell is a young girl supposed to do when parents are --shall we say--a 'little off center'? I'm glad others here agree.

    In addition to speaking to a school counselor, you could also try calling this number

    Childhelp®
    Phone: 800.4.A.CHILD (800.422.4453)
    Who They Help: Child abuse victims, parents, concerned individuals

    If you could fix just this issue, would you still want to live with your parents? If so, it may just be a matter of getting a counselor to intervene. In particular, if there is someone that they see as having religious authority that could intervene, they might listen.

    You may want to try living somewhere else. Do you have a grandparent or other trusted relative who is not as crazy that you might be able to live with?

    I'm sorry this is happening the way it is. That is a completely unreasonable reaction from your parents. And I agree with what's already been said....talk to a counselor.

    If you really want to make a point.....use the good wash clothes as pads and leave them in the laundry. Then when your dad has something to say about it you can say "Oh...I'm sorry. I thought the sin would wash away since I assume this must be what mom uses every month...and by the way....which week is it every month that she's bound to the house? I don't seem to remember that ever happening!"

    And seriously.....try to not let them eventually brainwash you. You're right....this is crazy and they sound crazy!
