RE: Honest Talk About Puberty for Boys and Girls

in Hive Learners3 days ago

yes, growing up was hard. I'm so glad I am adult na! :P

Sort:  

When I was in 9th grade, I thought there were two types of humans, those with hair and those without. When I first noticed underarm hair, I felt sad about being hairy, thinking it was some sort of curse. Later, I learned that most men naturally have body hair, except in a few exceptional cases.

😅 yea.. getting hair in strange places.. I was really proud tho, when I could shave like my dad!

You had a dad with u. In 9th grade, my dad was in a different country and I was only boy in the family. We talked with dad on skype but he never teached me about puberty hairs nor I had friends (whom I could talk to, I had friends but I was shy) as I was an introvert back then. It wasn't easy for me at all.

My female teacher once taught me about puberty hairs. She came like an angle for me, taught me about erasers instead of scissors. I was close to her then my own sisters or mother or grandma.

So maybe the issue wasn't about male or female guardians but maybe fatherless children are different even if they r working in a different city or country. I think it kills confidence. But that's just my life, everyone is different.

hmmmmmmm, that's true. I guess having a dad around makes a HUGE difference. I was so lucky. :) I wud always here my friends complain about their dads.. and I wud just quietly smile cuz mine was good.
