  • So u can "Dance" but not "Square Dance"

  • Molly wants that dick

  • The dad kind of had a pervy look after they told him about her period..

  • Oh yeah because most people tell their father well ive got my period!

  • I didn't tell anyone about my period... Why do people feel the need talk about everything : D

  • I couldn't wait to start,now I can't wait it it end!!!

  • She's ready to mate! Animals do it! I guess its natural!

  • Eff that, I swim every day. "curse" or no.

  • I like that matter of fact way things were explained and the way the girls asked questions... It sure was not like that in the 70's.

  • So sexist

  • Wow the mom was so calm if that was me I would be freaking out

  • "Well, sit down and tell me about it."

    ...If anyone said that to me about my period I'd be creeped out.

  • wow i didn't know this was 1953!!!

  • "From the way you've been acting lately, it shouldn't be long now." Did Molly's sister just call her a slut?

  • @luckysod04 No. She was probably indicating Molly's change of behaviour and her interest in things such as make-up.

  • sooo when im curled up in fetal position and suffering from back breaking cramps im actually smothering my organs and tangeling my intestines?

  • Comment removed

  • what's molly's mom doing at the nurses house?

  • Molly is now 72.

  • It was on a Friday in 6th grade a week after my birthday I was at McDonald's a long stream of blood in pee and my mom was girl your periods on! I was like noooooooo!!!

  • I got my period while I was staying at a neighbor's house. My mom was on a month long trip in Europe, and my dad was in the hospital getting surgery on his hand. I had to tell my neighbor's mom when I woke up with blood all over my underwear. It was really akward, lol

  • I got my first period two days before Super bowl 2008. I tried to hide it from my mom, but when she found my blood stained underwear, she dropped everything and cried as she hugged me, before calling her friends.

  • mollie!thats not a good topic to pick before supper is it?

  • jeannie,s one sexy chick but molly!these lies about a sore throat through " cheering".you,ve been sucking off the local "ron jeremy" havent you?shame on you mollie!

  • Sucks for the guy who has to be with the his wife and 2 daughters when their on their period >.>

  • I guarantee you that when this was made, the mom would NOT have told the dad in front of Molly that Molly was having her first period. It was considered really impolite to discuss that stuff in front of male members of your family.

  • aw man i cant square dance when im on period, schucks

  • My wife's father was a small-town medical doctor, and it was he who got to explain "the facts of life" to her, including about menstruation. He did something very smart from a psychological perspective -- he ended The Talk by saying reassuringly, "Some women have physical problems because of it, some trouble handling it -- BUT YOU WON'T." She believes to this day that the power of suggestion allowed her to, indeed, have no issues.

  • haha i like how they say you cant dance a lot or horseback ride or that you cant see the egg. Thats not true at all. The egg is about as big as a grain of sand or a dot on a book page. But then again you gotta realize that this was made back when there was only 48 states and it was thought that there was only about 500 stars...makes you think...

  • The sexual inuendo is off the charts...

  • Thank God, I can still picnic when I'm on my period.

  • @LordKantichan But you can't Square Dance...

  • I thought the reason not to swim during menstruation is so you don't get blood in the pool. Why do they say it's ok after the first two or three days? You're still bleeding, after all.

    Also, lawl at the 50's dad saying his daughter sounded "old fashioned". XD

  • I wouldn't want my dad involved in that conversation. And the whole swimming thing is crap. Also, regular exercise actually helps with cramps. Now, women do everything with their period (and a lot when they are pregnant). But what was up with the comment of looking your best from now on? Was that supposed to be because they have to start finding a husband or something?

  • Odd Thing is, I Mentoined 1950's Puberty Videos in School Today, Watched This, Went To Go Pee, Then i Was Like, Crap, Gadda Go See Miss Nurse Lady!!! Then I Watched This Again :) ... Pads were also very Scary Back Then, and Tampons Were, Too...

  • Comment removed

  • Oh My God.

    I think the dad is the same guy who played the coach in "As Boys Grow"

    Why is this guy so interested in this kind of stuff?

  • I'd like to see A Girl Like Hallie Parker in THE 50'S. And A Girl Lke Molly Today.

  • Comment removed

  • man, back then, you couldn't do anything fun! ha! we do crazy things now during ours.....and tampons weren't so prehistoric either. who loves getting their period? who wants it? not cool. i think you should savor the time before the first one!

  • Why did peoplein the "old" times always have names like Jim or steve and Richard...

  • Comment removed

  • Molly's Mom is making muffins to memorialize her first menstruation!  :)

  • Carrie Snodgrass.

  • no strenuous activities? I played lacrosse on mine.wearing a pad. Didnt even cross my mind.

  • Whoops. Spoke too soon. Copernicus used these chicks to set up the lunar cycle!

  • @dogloverNV thumbs up for that one laughing out loud

  • @jcrew63 These girls have more periods than a Hemingway novel! Rim shot! ;-)

  • Someone needs to set Molly hip to the fact that she's LUCKY not to have her periods yet! They are the worst damn nuisance!!! :-(

  • Actually eggs are about the size of a grain of sand.Sperm is so tiny that you'll need a microscope to see one.

  • I got my period when I was 10.I was the first girl in class to have one and I didn't notice at first entill my mom told me.

  • You'll catch a cold? Is that a 50's euphamism for bleed all over everyone in the pool? XD

  • I defiantly went against the good 1950's morals and went square dancing while on my period. When I would doh-see-doh, my pad dropped on the floor and my partner slipped on it and twisted his ankle. Not really.

  • OK so, how is it that Molly's mom left her gloves at the nurses' home last night? Molly has to refrain from square dancing and mom is evidently 'square dancing' over at Nurse Jensen's place! GOLLLLLYYYYY!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • Don't square dance during menstruation. Hahahahahahahaha! Talk about dated! People skate and play sports during their period now.

  • Yeah its Fun. ... Not

    Busen

  • Why hasn't rifftrax gotten a hold of this?!

  • you know, I just thought of something when the nurse said that at the start of puberty you can feel confused about the 'transformation' to being an adult, but the way I've experienced it is that it's the beginning AND at the end of puberty (when you reach age 20) that the confusion kicks in again. I don't know why though, it's just a random thought that popped into my head...

  • @keniakittykat I dunno, I really did worry about all the sexist stuff with "oestrogen makes you stupid" because I felt I thought so clearly and logically as a child and then suddenly at puberty all these emotions descended on me and suddenly I didn't know which way I was going and I no longer had the patience for math and the like.

    It was only around 20 when the fog began to lift it seemed like.

  • @candistyx For me the 20's confusion was a part of me saying I needed to grow up and let go of certain things I've gotten too old for.

    The fact that I need to be an adult scares me, and it's not that I'm an irresponsible or naive person or anything, on the contrary people have always told me I was 'mature for my age' when I was a teenager but now that I am at the age I don't really know where I'm going with my life and I need to get it together and I just find that hard to do.

  • @keniakittykat Yeah I felt like that for a while. Now though I feel like I know exactly what I want but that society is thwarting me (dammit these ovaries won't stay fresh forever, I don't want to be a 40 year old woman having her first child because only now is she financially ready).

    My boyfriend says we're young and have forever to wait, but it's 5 years till we are 30... life is passing us by, we're both still in full time education. I feel finally ready to be an adult and I have to wait.

  • @candistyx Now that's interesting, since me and my boyfriend don't want children. (his genetics especially are just too flawed to pass-on anyway.)

    But I think it must be really frustrating to have your life on hold when you know exactly what you want. I don't know what I want so I have to hurry up, while you have time to spare. It's funny how our situations are the complete opposites to one another.

  • In the olden days, they swam with a period. But they couldn't skate. Weeeird.

  • Gooolllleeee lol!

  • Menstiwation? Who are these people? Elmer Fudd/

  • Mr Miksak has been busy at school all day teaching his track team about ejaculation, but he seems taken aback when his little princess gets her first period.

  • I remember waiting patiently for my first period as a youth... I would wear my mothers pads just in case it came unexpectedly. Then my father saw the pad in my underwear and beat the shit out of me... "Stupid idiot, boys don't get the curse!"

  • @RatDog67 - Well, at least you could have used the pad to stop the bleeding where he hit you!!! (^_^)

  • @RatDog67 O_O how old were you... 3?!

  • They change their pads 5-6 times a day I change mine 2-3!

  • Molly! How many times do I have to tell you? I'm PMSing!

    Also, why did no one ask, "how does the egg get fertilized?" Magic?

  • Molly is about 71 today

  • MenstrOOation lmfao csn u rlly on swim when on the rag cuz ull catch cold? Lol

  • Aww how cute and romantic, lol!

  • I wish I lived in the 50's. Except the tampons look very uncomfortable

  • oh i wish i lived during the 50's!!

  • I remember feeling a bit excited about getting my first period. Thankfully, my sister gave me advice to help me get used to it. :)

  • I think it's great that Molly's mom is happy to talk with her about periods. Mine basically told me to go deal with it on my own and left it at that.

  • i used to use the belted pads.in the 80's talk about uncomfortable

  • When the lady says "golly," it sounds cree-pe-eeeee.

  • 5 or 6 times a day? Jesus.

  • @AwwSugar3168 that's because we have improved pads over the years and them ones hardly had any absorbancy.

  • Haha "What? Already?" That's the exact same thing my dad said!

    

  • "you better not go swimming - you might get the chiles! and catch a cold!" lol. wow. back then. GOLLY!

  • it's funny that teacher is the one who tells the story...and she knows all details about her student...isn't it a bit weird?

    they had tampons in 50's? Wow, how modern!

  • @jovanai it is the nurse

  • @jovanai They did?

  • it's funny that teacher is the one who tells the story...and she knows all details about her student...isn't it a bit weird?

  • OMG! so that was the thing on my mom`s drawer!!!

  • Why do I have to dry my hair fast?

  • Why is she happy I fucking hate my period.

  • "Growing up is fun." Oh yes! It is! Excuse me while I shove a piece of cotton-like fibers into my body.

  • Her dad looks like my dad's whole family - pretty much all his (5) brothers looked like that.

  • in 1950s: Don't square dance Today:Don't have sex. Average girl: Psssh, I'm still going to.

  • "god lee"

  • @dejadennis1 " good golly Molly"

  • catch a cold from swimming on your period?

    what?

  • @emmie123ism I dont think the mom knows why she  cant go swiming eather.

  • That damn Modess was the size of an Intex Airbeds Super-Tough! Hihihihi!....

  • Hmm... somehow, I'd think the scene with the father would be more like "Molly's got her first period" "Uhh... right, I'll be in the garage..."

  • dude the pad strap looked like a frick jocky for guys so glad ones today are sticky

  • Menstyuation. properly pronounced, without the r. GAAW-LEE! "Hey creepy father character, Mollys raggin'" "Yeah im not a baby anymore" "Yeah. I guess, *looks awkwardly at molly* Guess your not" *bigsmilecreepstare*

  • what does she mean change your underwear more often. Do these kids wear the same underwear for days or does she want them to change every 4 hours. And i also had boys in my class when i was learning about this.

  • keep clicking 5:24

  • omgeee the most pre historic pad ever lol

  • oh man it sucks!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Boys in the classroom : AWKWARD

  • "I THOUGHT I WAS GONNA BE SICK!"

    (Roseanne Rosannadanna)

  • why do the guys need to attend this class?

  • fatso ogre at 12:06

  • well dang, in the "talk" at my school they made it sound like if you didn't have your period at exactly the same time every month you must have some kind of cancer or something >.<

  • Omg I remember getting my period not long ago. My mom got hers when she was 11,and so did I. It is true that periods sometimes may take a while to settle. Some girls will get

    Theirs regular,or if u r like me,it will hopefully come in the next year or so. And i just wanted to say, GOOLLLLLYYY!

  • Notice there are no boys in that health class.

  • @grarox well obviously, they're talking about periods ^^ but there was one very manly looking girl.

    Just kidding! <3

    GOLLLLL-EEEEEEEEEEE

  • Golly!

  • LOL i have a couple comments, first off i never knew they had elastic waist bands for your pad , lmao also it seems like they had alot of superstitions about periods aswell. Like 1. After showering dry your hair quickly! (Why?) 2. You can't go swimming the first coulpe of days of your period or else you will catch the chills. 3. Look your most attractive self (again why?!?)

  • @cxiness yes,they use to use those elastic waist bands for your pads,i guess back in the 50s-70s,my mom had to use those,she said they were tourture!

  • @kittykat662 Beltless pads New Freedom/StayFree were on the market in the mid 70's altho StayFree was like 6 inches thick!

  • @cxiness cause most people get bloated, greasy, pissed off, pimply and emotional on their period, but looking pretty makes up for all that. GAAW-LEE!

  • @NonaPaskemin explain 1 and 2 then :P

  • I think they could have cut out at least the first 3 minutes of the video, damn haha!

  • must have been embarrasing for the girl who played molly.. ecspecially when her friends saw this

  • be your most attractive self...suck a lot of dick

  • molly was hot

  • damn this video is older than my daddy!!alot older!!!

  • damn I cant square dance!!!! this sucks lol

  • Those pads with the belt were still available here in the uk around the mid-80s! Thank god we got wings and stuff by the time I needed them. And I don't know how to square-dance anyway lol

  • OMG dont they were undies?

    they have to stick the pad on elastic EWWW

  • Square dancing is too extreme! XD

  • "... And Goooolly!" XD

  • I guess that horrible pad is better that when her mother started hers, they didn'y have pads then just a what they called a rag. They had to be put on in the fifties with a safety pin or something called a belt, I'm glad I was born when they came out with the wings and the sticky stuff you stick on your underpants. You have cramps too baby. Wash your hair quickly! Ha!. And now Molly can get pregnant too! Ta Da! THE END

  • I would die then and there if my mom said to my dad that i got my first mentrual period! I'm like no! I'm daddy's girl, he doesn't need to know! OMG LOL

  • @Masshiroi I know

  • @Masshiroi The girl said you tell him mom,.

  • This is so CUTE!

  • so did anyone catch the no swimming cause you'll catch a cold and you can wash your hair but dry it quickly...i usually don't swim because i dont wanna leak not because i think i'll get sick

  • how the hell do uuse those pads?????

  • yesssssssssss finally i was lookin for dis yes yes thnxx xx

  • the nurse seems really unconfortabe xD

  • They had tampons back then? Wow, never knew that. XD

  • @RRBvampgrl They even had tampons in the 2nd world war, I know because Anne Frank wrote in her diary that she couldn't use them because only women who've had a baby (aka non virgins) can.

    That's more what surprises me, that they are offering tampons to women with intact hymens who may break them with them (oh ma! I just lost my cherry to a tampon!).

    They were a lot more "enlightened" in the 50s than are given credit for.

  • "Oh Jim! Molly's having her first period!"

    "WTF? mom! did you have to tell him???"

    "im sorry honey...but its a natural thing! And.."

    "STFU, im so freaking embarassed!!!"

    *dad acts creepy*

    This is so frikin creepy!

  • "The curse"  LOL

  • Notice the lack of any details about sex. There's no explanation of how the "male cell" meets the egg, they assume that the hymen is going to be there, and they don't really go into how to use a tampon. Basically, girls can't have anything inside their vaginas.

  • 1950s adds give me lolgasms.

  • This film would be nothing without the stellar acting talents of Joe Miksak. His portrayal of Father was outstanding.

  • Golly!

  • These old classics are so amazing... simply loaded with ALL the old euphamisms...

    "After association with 'the wrong crowd", Suzy realized she was 'in trouble" (What she forgot her wallet? ;-)

  • wow. i'm so shy, i have to write notes or hint for my mom to buy pads. i turn red and run out of the room even if she mentions shaving my legs.

    and wtf? my dad would probably start hyperventilating or run out if my mom tried to talk to him about this..

  • best thing to do on your period is to eat painkillers. Im usually so numb because of them during my periods that i cant feel a thing. ah...i love you my dear ibuprofein, my dearest friend. chocolate is great too:)

  • so wait she wants her tom?(time of month) WHAT!? wtf shez crazy i wish i could have stayed 10 4eva!!!!!!!!!!! lol

  • ummmm so they had tampons back then...... idk the whole time just seems so old and prehistoric lol like dinosaurs were there too golly!

  • Her dad seems a lil creepy haha

  • "be your most attractive self"?? Why would you want to bleed all over your best clothes? I always wear my most expendable underwear and jeans during the first few days. What kind of advice is that? :-P "Change your underwear more often, pay more attention to your hair and fingernails"?? What good will that do?

  • Golly. LOL
