Sexual Education 性教育
Sexual education is a powerful tool to safeguard children's well-being and future. It is a subject that has long been ignored, not included in classes, yet holds the key to unlocking a world of knowledge and protection. Children in impoverished lacking these knowledges are more vulnerable to misinformation, potential abuse, and making uninformed decisions about their bodies and relationships. Here we will talk about sexual knowledge, opening the door for the future health and safety.
性教育是保障儿童福祉和未来的有力工具。这是一门长期被忽视的知识，没有被纳入课堂，但却掌握着打开知识和保护自己的钥匙。缺乏这些知识的贫困儿童更容易受到错误信息的影响，更容易受到潜在的虐待，更容易对自己的身体和关系做出不知情的决定。在这里，我们将谈谈性知识，为未来的健康和安全打开大门。
青春期是孩子生命中一段非凡且不可避免的时期，其特点是在身体、情感和社交方面都发生着变化。 在身体方面，青春期预示着一系列明显的转变。对于女孩来说，青春期通常始于乳房开始发育，这一过程是成熟的自然标志。 不久之后，她们会迎来月经初潮，这一里程碑事件需要对经期卫生以及如何应对每个月生理周期中身体和情绪方面的问题进行学习了解。 另一方面，男孩一开始会注意到自己的声音变低沉。肌肉量增加，而且他们可能会发现自己的身高迅速增长。 在情感方面，青春期就像坐过山车一样。荷尔蒙的波动会导致情绪迅速变化，这些情绪似乎毫无征兆地就出现了。他们可能前一刻还烦躁易怒，下一刻就兴高采烈。与此同时，他们变得更加自我意识强烈，在意自己的外表以及别人对自己的看法。他们可能会对面部的粉刺、发型和穿着感到懊恼。 在社交方面，青春期改变了人际关系的动态。他们可能会结交朋友，然后又与朋友绝交。与父母的关系也会发生变化，他们可能会对父母感到烦躁，努力争取独立。他们希望在穿着、爱好和社交活动方面自己做决定。
但这些都是普遍且正常的现象，所以你需要去学习并接受，无需为此感到焦虑。
Growth and Puberty Changes
青春期
Puberty is a remarkable and unavoidable time in a child's life, marked by changes of physical, emotional, and social perspectives.
Physically, puberty heralds a host of noticeable transformations. For girls, it typically begins with the budding of breasts, a process which is a natural sign of maturation.
Soon after, they experience the onset of menstruation, a milestone that requires education on menstrual hygiene and how to manage the physical and emotional aspects of this monthly cycle.
Boys, on the other hand, notice their voices deepening at the beginning. Muscle mass increases, and they may find themselves growing taller at a rapid pace.
For emotion, puberty is like a rollercoaster. Hormonal fluctuations can lead to rapid change of moods that seem to come out of nowhere. They may feel irritable one moment and euphoric the next. At the same time, they become more self-aware and conscious of their appearance and how others feel about them. They may be frustrated about acne on the face, the hairstyle and their dress.
Socially, puberty changes the dynamics of relationships. They might make friends and then break off. Teenagers may seek for peers who share similar interests. There's also a change in the relationship with parents, they be agitated with the parents, strive for independence. They want to make their own decisions about clothing, hobbies, and social activities.
But these are all common and normal, so you need to learn and accept, it’s no need to be frustrated.

Good touch/ Bad Touch
触碰
Good touches are those that make us feel warm, for example a hug from your parents, a high-five from a friend after a game, these are good touches. They communicates love, passion and impression.
On the other hand, bad touches are violations. The touches that makes us uncomfortable. For example, intentionally touching private parts constitutes sexual harassment.
To protect ourselves, we need to recognize and categorize these touches.
When you receive touches from anyone, no mater if the person is a relative or a stranger, if it makes you feel uncomfortable, you have the right and needed to learn to say no to it and seek for help from teachers, parents or police when needed.
好的触碰是那些让我们感到温暖的触碰，比如来自父母的一个拥抱，一场比赛后朋友的一次击掌，这些都是好的触碰。它们传递着爱、热情和美好的感受。 另一方面，不好的触碰则是侵犯行为。是那些让我们感到不舒服的触碰。例如，故意触碰私密部位就构成了性骚扰。 为了保护我们自己，我们需要识别这些触碰并对它们进行分类。 当你接受任何人的触碰时，不管这个人是你的亲戚还是陌生人，如果这种触碰让你感到不舒服，你有权利并且需要学会对它说“不”，并且在有需要的时候向老师、父母或者警察求 助。
性别平等与尊重是个人以及整个社会进步和福祉的关键组成部分。这是一项需要我们关注并付诸行动的基本原则。性别平等始于承认所有性别都拥有平等的潜力、能力和权利。在教育、社会地位等方面都应实现平等。就教育而言，女孩和男孩都应能不受限制地获得学习所有学科的机会。从生理层面来讲，男孩通常肌肉量相对更多，他们的力量优势在一些体力劳动或诸如举重、橄榄球等竞技体育项目中更为明显；而女孩通常柔韧性更佳，且往往能在体操和舞蹈中展现出令人惊叹的姿态。这些都是基于生理特征的客观事实，不存在优劣之分。嘲笑任何一方都是无知的表现。
认识并尊重男孩和女孩之间的这些事实差异，是构建一个平等且包容的社会环境的基石。我们绝不应该因为男孩和女孩之间的差异而相互嘲笑。

Gender Equality and Respect
性别平等与互相尊重
Gender equality and respect are crucial parts for the progress and well-being of individuals and society as a whole. It is a fundamental principle that demands our attention and action. Gender equality starts with the recognition that all genders has equal potential, capabilities, and rights. Equality should be achieved in education, social status and other aspects. In terms of education, girls and boys should have unrestricted access to learning opportunities of all subjects. Physiologically, boys generally have relatively more muscle mass, and their strength advantage is more obvious in some manual labor or competitive sports events such as weightlifting and rugby; while girls generally have better flexibility and can often display amazing postures in gymnastics and dance. These are objective facts based on physiological characteristics, and there is no superiority or inferiority. Ridiculing either side is a sign of ignorance.
Recognizing and respecting these factual differences between boys and girls is the cornerstone of building an equal and inclusive social environment. We should never ridicule each other because of the differences between boys and girls.
