Additionally, there are thousands of girls being home schooled, or taking classes online \u2013 which completely removes them from the typical Sex Ed curriculum AND the opportunity to learn about these \u2018life lessons\u2019 from inside the bathroom stalls at school.\n\nSadly, the absence of educational programs means that there are a lot of girls that are left in the dark about puberty. And likely, a lot of parents that don\u2019t realize their daughters are in the dark. One of the worst things that can happen to a young girl is to start menstruation without being prepared, or for her to feel abnormal because her pubescent journey is different from other girls she knows.\n\nWith the onset of puberty, occurring earlier than ever, it is a parental responsibility to make sure that the girls in your life are prepared. And ready. And clear on the straight facts about puberty. <em><strong>Misinformation is just as bad as no information<\/strong><\/em>.\n\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=\"https:\/\/www.bepreparedperiod.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Sex_Ed_School_Public_Schools_Pinterest.jpg\" align=\"center\" _builder_version=\"4.0.11\" width=\"64%\" width_tablet=\"\" width_phone=\"\" width_last_edited=\"on|phone\" custom_padding=\"|45px||45px|false|false\"][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"4.0.11\"]\n\nBe Prepared Period is here for you. We realize this foundational educational program is virtually non-existent (or occurs too late for many girls that start puberty at a younger age). Because of this, we have striven to provide a platform for both adults and girls, in which they can get the most accurate information about puberty quickly and easily. (And discreetly.) We not only offer first period kits and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bepreparedperiod.com\/subscriptions\">monthly supplies subscriptions<\/a> \u2013 but we also provide caregivers and girls comprehensive, compassionate and accurate guides that provide the straight facts about periods and puberty.\n\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"4.0.11\"]\n\n<strong><em>Be Prepared Period\u2019s site was created to inform, educate, and remind parents and children that periods are a completely normal and natural part of life and growing up.<\/em><\/strong>\nWe even give females of all ages the opportunity to share their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bepreparedperiod.com\/blog\/period-puberty-info\/period-stories\/\">stories about puberty<\/a> with the hopes that all of us will realize we have more in common than we think.\n\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"4.0.11\" hover_enabled=\"0\"]\n\nBe Prepared Period encompasses the needs of all types of families from all social backgrounds and strives to empower and equip parents and children to communicate about this exciting time in life and accept it with open arms.\n\nIt is extremely important that young girls are privy to information about puberty and periods in particular. Parents and guardians cannot rely on school systems to inform children about the ABC\u2019s of puberty. The truth is that it is never too early to<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bepreparedperiod.com\/blog\/preparing-for-puberty-starts-now\/\"> start talking about puberty<\/a> with your daughter and you should start now.
