RE: Honest Talk About Puberty for Boys and Girls

in Hive Learners2 days ago

I think parents are not so free to open up such a conversation. And that's the reason children can't share their thoughts with parents either thinking that it's such a thing that should be hidden or shameful. It's a normal thing but we made it like a top secret. In case of girls I think it's more complex process compared to boys and as far as I know many girls even find it hard about what to do? I read about the menstrual cycle in details when I was in XI class and I felt that everyone should know about it but it was only available on science. I believed at least all female should know about it even if not a student of science. It's a normal process and we should not feel shy to share it. It says that we are ok and fine.

Okay, so.... learning about it in class XI is nice, but by that time most of the changes in the body have already started happening. Some girls get their first periods at 15 or even younger. In my opinion, class XI is too late. Also, I think parents should be the first ones to teach about these changes. We can’t rely on TV ads because they can teach about pads but not about how to wear them. I mean, what if there’s a leakage? Even with good brands it can still happen if the size isn’t right, especially for a 12 to 15 year old who’s just starting to use it.
