Why do boys have less problems to face than girls?
Hiii, thanks for asking this question 💗 It can often feel like boys have less problems to face than girls (periods are one good example) and luna totally gets that!
But it's important to remember that everyone has their own unique challenges. Society can place different expectations and pressures on boys and girls, which can lead to different experiences. However, it's important to recognise that different genders face their own set of difficulties and struggles. It's all about supporting and uplifting each other.
If you're feeling down about gender imbalances (for example sexism), it's really important that you reach out to a trusted adult so you can chat through this with them. Saying your thoughts out loud to someone, or even writing them down, is a great way to understand them. Hope this helps 🌟
