• Boys never learned about PMS, menstrual cramps, or tampon toxic shock syndrome. A boy’s understanding of periods often remained at "something that happens once a month, girls get grumpy."
• Girls never learned about testicular torsion, erections as non-sexual responses, or why boys suddenly stop listening in class.
• Mixed discussions on relationships were rare. When they did happen, they were awkward and teacher-led: "Now, children, what do we think about petting?"
