My Adolescent Diary – Page 1

 

I still vividly remember certain things, even today. When topics like these appeared in the newspapers, I used to read them in secret. I still remember the exact spot I used for my secret reading, the corner near my bedroom door. At times, countless questions about those topics would arise in my mind. But Amma and Appa were usually at work during those moments of questioning. Our older sister, who took care of us at home, either didn’t have the knowledge to answer or perhaps didn’t know how to come down to my level and explain. Alternatively, what she said might not have made sense to me. These were the conclusions I arrived at during my adolescent reflections.

But questions around those secret topics, like sex, male and female genitalia, and condoms, continued to stay with me for many years. https://femasiamagazine.com/1st-page-of-my-adolescence-diary/
