Description: (100-200 characters) Adolescence brings visible changes like height and voice… but some of the most important changes happen quietly, inside the body. In this video, we explore the menstrual cycle — a natural biological process that marks the beginning of reproductive maturity in girls. We’ll understand what it is, why it happens, how often it occurs, and how to take care of your health and hygiene during menstruation. We also address the myths and taboos that often surround periods, and why it’s important to replace misinformation with facts, empathy, and awareness. Courses on Khan Academy are always 100% free.
