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.

Navigating difficult scenarios

Hey hey, luna's sorry to hear you're going through this. It's not fair that the boys are laughing and the teachers aren't doing anything. It's important to remember that periods are a normal and natural part of life, and there's nothing to be ashamed of.

If the teachers aren't taking your concerns seriously, you could try talking to a trusted adult, like a parent or school counsellor, for support. It's also a good idea to talk to your friends and stick together. Remember, you have the right to feel safe and comfortable at school. Don't let anyone make you feel bad about something that is completely normal🌟💪
