i think everyone thought it was laughable bc we were just learning about teenage puberty like pubes and periods and the pregnancy stuff is beyond that (even tho yes it happens to teens). also didn’t help that the adults leading it backtracked and made it awkward with their whole “uhhhh haha maybe we don’t ask about that let’s talk about something else” instead of answering a question for a curious 10 year old bc “there are no dumb questions” ???

Yeah I get it- the adults definitely dropped the ball there tbh. Like that would’ve stuck with me too if I ask that question haha But really, even in the context of puberty and such it’s still a good question to me? At least you’re curious and actually asking questions lmao
