and the boys got to play outside 💔

35

can’t relate, i was too young to even know what a period was💔 it was traumatic for me bcz i was terrified

24

the boys just watched a movie while we got told why we would be sinning against god if our training bra straps were showing

14

we had sex ed on our own bodies in 4th grade but it was never traumatizing to me😭

11

I never endured that

I knew about periods since I was like 5💀 my mom was very open about it when I asked her what all of her pads were for

7

i forgot about this until you mentioned it

maybe im different my mom and grandma been talking about they’re sex life and periods since we were kids 😭. my grandma used to always come around drunk telling us about the guys she hooked up with and how sex felt for women.

half the girls were crying when we got showed that

I blocked it out. 4th grade me was hellbent on not learning about that in a room with bullies 😭

I went to a catholic school in asia i didnt even get said video. We got the drug talk tho

for me the video wasn’t traumatizing, it was very calm, i think it was different from the main video ppl end up seeing. it didn’t teach enough. my mom also wasn’t properly educated on periods. she bought me bladder pads instead of period ones, and they said up to 12 hour relief, so i thought i was supposed to change them every 12 hours. i was shamed for that, which made me terrified to ask more questions. sex ed needs to be properly educational, while also not encouraging shame for not knowing
