for me puberty wasn't terrifying to look forward to. I understood the birds and the bees
I can see how that could be terrifying for those who have to go through menstruation, especially if there isn't good foreknowledge. I understood all the basic physical stuff before I was six - my mom was an RN with a well-stocked library, and I was (still am) a curious kid who never had any media censored. Of course, I didn't have a uterus to deal with personally, either.
Maybe one day I can grow up to be something cool, like a Blue Angels pilot.
Grow up? You keep using those words. *scratches head*
