How do girls perceive menarche?
What will be an ideal response?
It depends. How girls experience menarche is influenced by their knowledge about menstruation as well as their expectations. Girls who view menstruation negatively are likely to experience menstruation negatively, with more menstrual symptoms and distress. Generations ago, as girls received little to no information about menarche, they tended to be surprised by it and often were afraid. Girls are less afraid of menstruation when they are educated about it.
