5th grade. They herded all the 5th grade girls to the auditorium for the annual "talk" with the school nurse. Also around the same time my Mom gave me an "intro box" of Kotex products and I think the booklet was called "Very Personally Yours" as well. Remember those horrible belt contraptions or special panties with tabs before they invented the self-stick kind? And no one ever told us about the cramps and headaches.
Mom told me that Grandma never said one word to her about this stuff and she thought she was bleeding to death. So at least our generation was forewarned.
