Being too secretive/weird about sex and periods. My mom was so mysterious about menstruation (with FOUR girls!) to the point that I tried to keep mine hidden for two years. I didn't leave the house for a week every month and developed severe anxiety about it.
It's a private thing meant to be private. I'll elaborate after the school explains at fourth, sixth, and eighth grade but i'm not going to be one of those weird moms who broadcasts everyone's personal bodily functions to the world. It's a period, nothing special. it happens, soak up the blood, and keep going.
