Carrie doesn't have a very good life, she is constantly grounded unfairly by her crazy mother, and also by her classmates . At the beginning of the novel, it is introduced the Ewen High School that it´s located at a fictional Chamberlain, Maine. The trouble start when she has her first period at the showers of the gym. Carrie was terrified, because she never heard about it (mostly because of her mothers fault), and believes she is bleeding to death. Her classmates begins to make funny of it, and laugh and start  throwing her tampons and sanitary napkins. But the her gym teacher, Rita Desjardin, heard all the noise, and enter to aid Carrie and tells to her classmates that they were going to pay. A light bulb in the shower explodes just up to Carrie and her teacher when they were leaving the room.
