> What I find disturbing is that school peers humiliate each other over menstruation. Nearly all girls get it during puberty, so why are they shaming each other? And for the boys who shame their classmates, why aren't their teachers holding them accountable?! I agree its disturbing, but it's not surprising. School-age people can be very cruel. For a US (in the 1990s) perspective on menstruation-related shaming, check out the lyrics to "My red self" by Heavens to Betsy, for example. They were school-aged when they wrote that.
