Question

Meera, aged 12, got her first period at school and felt worried. Her teacher calmly explained that menstruation is a natural sign that her body is growing up. She told Meera that periods usually come about once a month, that the bleeding generally lasts a few days, and that she should keep herself clean and eat healthy food during this time. The school also has a covered dustbin and sanitary pads in the girls' washroom.
