Another BIG Talk for Boys in the books with a wonderful group of boys and trusted adults. Many questions were asked out loud (yet another group of bold question-askers) and a few made it to the Question Box.
In fact, a parent wrote one of them as a sneaky, loaded question (he came up to me at the break when the boys weren't around and asked if he could sneak it in)! I let him. See if you can guess which one it is (perhaps the one that's legible?).
And, what about the card that thanks the parents for their effort?!?! I'm dedicating this post's song to that young man.
As for some answers to some of those questions:
Do females bleed nonstop during their period? Not usually, the bleeding tends to be heaviest in the first few days and then tapers off as the period continues. Different biological females have different menstrual experiences, though, with some having a steady flow throughout their period and others having more of an "off-and-on" flow.
Can you break your hips during childbirth? Yes, a woman can break her pelvic bones, often referred to as hip bones in common terms, during childbirth, though it is a rare and serious injury. Pelvic fractures can result from factors like excessive force during delivery, a very large baby, prolonged labor, or certain pre-existing conditions such as a narrow pelvis or osteoporosis.
As always, good job by you, boys and trusted adults!
