I once watched a movie where a teenager who just got into the junior secondary school on her first day started experiencing discomfort in her body that she thought she had peed on herself.

After the break session, she didn’t go back to class with her classmates instead, she dashed to the toilet to  clean up herself, at the end of the day, it was discovered that it was her first period (menstruation) and she didn’t even know what that was, thank God for her other female classmates who had passed through that stage, they were the ones that helped her.

In my head, I was like, is there no female figure to explain this thing to her? How about the teachers in her primary school? At least, when a child gets to basic 6, they should begin to chip in the orientation of Puberty to them. 

So, this is what led me to talk about some of the physical and emotional changes a teenager will experience as they grow into an adult in this week’s podcast.
