My god I never considered this before - why on earth were we taught that and nothing about tampons and menstruation? (I know the answer it’s just sad)

Out school nurse took all 5th and 6th grade girls into a classroom and explained everything. Our moms were also welcome. My mom and other moms attended.

My Mom died before I even had my first period, not a single one of my teachers ever thought "maybe we should check in with her, make sure she's got support at home here without her Mom"

I remember learning about tampons and pads in year six. they put the tampon in a glass of water to show us how it works.

we were taught about female contraceptives at a-level (17yrs)
condoms were in year 11 (16)
menstruation was vaguely mentioned in biology in year 9 (14)
that was it

In my school our teacher decided she couldn't be bothered teaching us any of it. You should check out 'Honest' by Milly Evans

as someone going into yr10 at an all girls grammar school, we have done 1 lesson on periods and it was her telling us how often we will bleed and how much. that's it. as a girls aged 11-14 at a all girls u would think it would be more than that
