At school we are learning about the girls body and boys body but they don't split us up to do them. All of the boys start laughing when we talk about periods. Me and my friends have told teachers but they do nothing.
Hey, a classroom can feel really uncomfortable when people turn a body lesson into a joke 💛
It’s not fair that classmates are laughing about periods or that the teachers haven’t taken your concerns seriously.
Periods are a normal and natural part of life, and there’s nothing to be ashamed of.
You and your friends could stick together and calmly explain as a group how the laughing is affecting you.
If nothing changes, you could speak to your head of year, a school counsellor, or another trusted adult at school.
A parent or trusted adult could also speak to the school on your behalf 🫶
You deserve to feel safe and comfortable at school.
Take care, and keep supporting each other 🌟
