I have been getting this sickness roughly around the 20th of each month, and I am starting to wonder is this a period? I usually get nausea and a headache, and I feel like I might be a bit moodier, but this could also be a result of me being sick.

Given how many grown adults think you can hold in your period, that everyone gets their period at the same time, cramps are fake, having sex standing up means you won't get pregnant "cause gravity" (she had two kids and still believed that), tampons are sex toys, periods are sexual and therefore children shouldn't be taught about them..... Yeah, how menstrual cycles work is not common knowledge many places. And yes, I've met people who believe every single one of these things.
