From the time they start to notice boys, girls have hundreds of questions about their bodies, relationships, and everything else. As they start to reach puberty, the questions increase.
If moms are lucky, their daughters will turn to them for answers to their questions. But daughters are often embarrassed and reluctant to approach their moms for advice. Likewise, moms are often just as reluctant to talk to their daughters about their developing bodies or attraction to others. And those mothers who may actually look forward to talking with their daughters, may not know how to start the conversation.
As a result, girls turn to their friends and the mass media, or avoid the issues all together, creating greater problems for themselves in the future.
