Every woman remembers a highly inconvenient time she got her period. Some of us have had it happen at the movies, or in the supermarket, or while we’re swimming. It’s awkward, stressful and even painful – and sometimes, we only know because it’s on our clothes.
So we can all imagine the stress that a leaked period would have caused one young school girl whose story has this week gone viral – were it not for the unlikely hero who helped her out.
In fact, what the hero did was so amazing, the girl’s mother posted a thank you to his mother for raising him right. Her post was then re-posted on the Reddit thread, ‘Little humans being bros’.
In the post, the woman explains that her daughter started her period on the school bus, and a boy in the year above her pulled her aside to tell her “she had a stain on the back of her pants.”
And then, most helpfully, he loaned her his jumper to tie around her waist so she could get home without feeling self-conscious.
What a gentleman.
