I'm not saying we need to change this but we need to understand that it happens. Understand why some boys go in different paths.
That makes me think of the "puberty class" that they had at my school when I was like 8, all the boys and all the girls in my grade and the one below (That my sister was in) had to come in after school where they separated us into two different groups.
The girls were all told that what was happening was natural, and not to be frightened and were given tips for dealing with it and told that it was part of growing into a beautiful woman. they had a Q&A section after it was all over and a few of the women (there were 4 teaching) handed out cards in case anyone had a question that they were too embarrassed to ask about in front of everyone.
The guys were given a cheap pamphlet on nocturnal emissions and told that every girl out there just wanted to give us diseases or force us to marry them by getting pregnant. Then our teacher (we had 1) showed some truly disgusting slides of the late stages of each STD, told us that masturbating would make us go insane, and told us to leave.
I had to wait about an hour longer before my sister was let out.
To this day I feel cheated
