Kathleen Lucas+FollowPeriod Pain Is Hurting Grades?!Who knew periods could impact school this much? A new study found that teens dealing with heavy bleeding or bad cramps miss more school and get lower GCSE scores. We’re talking an extra 1-2 days off and a whole grade lower on average! It’s wild how normalizing period pain means a lot of students just push through, but it’s clearly affecting their future. Time to talk more openly about this and push for better support at school! #Health #BodyHealth #PeriodTalk20Share
