Period flow can happen without warning, and even if there is a warning, it's not usually something that girls are comfortable enough with to want to announce the reason in front of a classroom.

It's not like you want to announce diarrhea either

I liked your comment myself, but I wished period was more normalized and not seeing as something "disgusting" or "embarrassing"

I don’t get diarrhea every 4 weeks. Do you?
