blood on the sheets?

Spoilers:
Since she was at that age when women first start menstruating,.....do I need to go on?

I don't mean to impose, but I am the OCEAN.

I guess OP is underage, and you guys probably shouldn't educate OP.

she fingered herself

I agree that she probably broke her own hymen. Based on the way she was walking and the horrified reaction of Kline's character, it seems pretty clear. And perhaps she also thought that if they were to doubt that sex took place, and if she were "inspected", she would pass and be allowed to leave. It seems logical for a scared thirteen-year-old in these circumstances to think along these lines.

I am pretty sure the movie meant to imply that she tore her 'hymen' in there.

This annoyed me to no end.
The truth is the so-called hymen is a myth. Most women don't 'tear' down there when they are penetrated for the first time, most don't even bleed. I didn't. None of my friends did. Usually when women bleed from penetration it's because the man was too forceful or the woman wasn't 'ready' for him, as in not excited and lubricated enough. Also, it's possible that sometimes the blood is mistaken to come from the vagina when in fact it could have come from the MAN. The frenulum can tear in some men and cause some bleeding. Not common, but it happens.

The hymen myth is a long-standing fairy tale, prevalent in a lot of cultures, and it's sole purpose is to oppress women sexually, divide them into 'pure' and 'unclean' and shame women that have sex before marriage.
In a lot of cultures the families of a newly wed couple request to see the bloodstained sheets after the wedding night as 'proof' that the woman was indeed a virgin up until getting married. The problem is that in many of these cultures the bride is given 'fake blood' to put on the sheets, because everyone knows that most women won't bleed their first time, but it is so ingrained into the culture that a virgin must bleed that they keep up the charade. It's quite ridiculous.

I believe there have been studies where doctors have examined the vaginas of little girls and compared them to that of grown, sexually active women and nowhere has anyone been able to present conclusive proof of a hymen. People don't even seem to know what exactly a hymen is. A lot of people think it's actually a thin lamina covering the entire vagina entry, which is impossible of course, how would the period blood be able to come out? Some believe it's a flap of skin covering a part of the hole.
But the truth is, no one can show a real photo of a hymen and show histological difference between a 'virgin' hymen and a torn one.

Sorry for the rant. I just die a little inside everytime I see people that still believe in that old-fashioned myth.

I didn't think it was meant to imply that she tore her own hymen. First off, she was supposed to be very naive and innocent, so it's unlikely she would have even known to do that. Second, she put the blood on the sheets with her hand print, not by bleeding on the bed. It seemed to me that she cut herself with something in the bathroom thinking that blood on the bed wold fool them but she didn't realize that a bloody hand print wouldn't work because again, she was naive about that stuff.

Conform or be cast out
