Indeed, when a child predicts an overreaction instead of support, they learn to hide their struggles instead of reaching out. It’s all about emotional safety, and Turning Red captures that extremely well 🔥
Clicked on the notification when I saw it lol! Anyway, I've always hated the "you're a woman now" stigma around periods. Especially because it feels a bit... creepy. The average girl gets her period even before her teenage years, before she's 13. Claiming that girls that age are women is such an outdated and honestly odd thing to do, in my opinion. I got my period when I was 11, and I didn't like when my mom told me I was a woman, because I wasn't. I'm not entirely sure why it creeps me out as much as it does. Maybe it's because it's putting too much expectation of responsibility and maturity on a child, or maybe it's because it's always sounded like some weird, creepy excuse a predator would make. Either way, it just discomforts me🥲
yes its so creepy!! I got mines at 12, i don’t think my mom ever gave me the “you are a woman” talk but i still think it’s so weird and creepy for someone to say that. You’re not a woman you’re a child.
Awww, thank you 🩵 and it absolutely IS creepy. I also got my period around 11 and thank Universe my mom didn't say that. Probably it creeps you out because it's like encouraging young girls to jump over at least 5 different developmental stages and the development of the prefrontal cortex and call them directly 'women'.
I relate so much to Meis breakdown after the market incident. As a young teen I drew a lot of lovey dovey stuff and felt like that was a bad thing when I was only curious. I freaking love this movie and how it captures that perfectly in my opinion 😂
Thank you for sharing 🩵 as teens, exploring things like love and curiosity often felt ‘wrong’, but really, it’s such a normal and healthy part of growing up. I find it incredibly validating to see those emotions reflected so perfectly on screen. I’m so glad you love it too-it’s definitely one of those films that feels like it gets us 😂❤️
Also just the fact that she hid the problem from her mom because she knew her mom would overreact instead of helping
