The Future Freaks Me Out

The other day, I saw my youngest brother, Ryan Franco, flipping through his Health Education book. My interest was adequately aroused, after merely looking at the first few pages. The book had 4 main characters, 2 boys and 2 girls, and as they go through the tumultuous years of puberty, the students grow with them, with their experiences, and ups-and-downs.

So I read further. I bet relationships were going to develop, and it's made all the more juicier by the ethnically-diverse cast consisting of a Eurasian, a Malay, and two Chinese. The Indian is the teacher, I think, and the Filipino's the loser with the blog -_-". So anyways, the book catered to my need for emotional drama, so yeah, excellent book, I say.

And then as I delved into the world of these 4 ten-year olds, I got the shock of my life. They were comparing arm pit hair! Even the girls! And they're all so happy! At the young, supposedly-pure age of TEN too! Seriously...OH MY GOD! I never thought they started at such a young age, and all I can say is that I'll never look at primary school kids in the same light ever again.



Just to make one thing clear, there are three hair-related things which discuss me in this world: nose hair, armpit hair (on girls) and uni-brows. God...those are creepy as crap.

I should have closed the book, and left it to my brother's devices; he can indulge himself in his perverse 10-year-old world by himself...but my curiosity got the better of me, and then I reached the part of...MENSTRUATION! They taught me how to fold the sanitary pads! Holy crap, that's shocking. And whoever wrote this book should get an award for...turning a whole generation of students of sexual intercourse. The description is subtly revolting; "seep onto your clothes" mean that they stain, and are dirty, and "slight smell" is just so open-to-your-imaginations that my hair (not nose) is standing as I type this.



Oh! I guess the part about placing hot water bottle on the area slightly below your stomach to quell the pains of menstrual cramps is useful, so to all girls out there, make sure you got 'em when you got 'em.

PR mini-outing this afternoon, with Tokyo Div, StickMan, Peek@chu and Shernise (she's not good enough to get a nickname, hmmph), and we had a blast. I love my sub-comm, and yeah, ACFM's airing, so listen up for it!


Ciaociao!
