[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I also did the rolled up toilet paper.
When I was 14 I desperately needed Clearasil, and my mom wrapped it up as a Christmas present. I wish she had given it to me when she bought it, as I had to suffer without until I got it.
I had just 3 outfits I could wear to school. I attended a high cost of living area school and everyone noticed. I also only had 4 pairs of dark green underwear that I used to wash by hand very often. My classmates must have thought I only had one pair.
I cleaned peoples houses for money and this one old lady was very nice to me
I did not have close friends, and avoided parties and out of school functions. My dad wanted me to go, I had to explain that I just do not have clothes to out in. 
I did not want to go to my prom, but my mom sowed a prom dress for me so I could not get out of it[/quote]

I also rolled up TP, but it was a summer thing. My mother worked in a school setting and Sept to June, she brought home sanitary napkins for us to use. These were the old style, thick and bulky with a single strip of adhesive. No wings. They each came in a crinkly paper wrapper. I'd unwrap 2-3 at home and fold them as flat as I could then secure each with a rubber band. As much as I hated them, I hated wadding up toilet paper more. I didn't get to try a tampon until college.[/quote]
