What sex ed doesn’t tell you about your brain - Shannon Odell?

Your brain is like a super smart robot that helps you learn and grow, but it doesn’t always work the same way for everyone, and sex ed often skips this important part.

Imagine your brain has two main parts, kind of like having two favorite toys: one might be more about playing with friends (let’s call it the left side), and the other is more about being creative or dreaming (the right side). These parts can work together, but sometimes they have different ideas.

Now, think of hormones as like little helpers that come in during big changes, like when you’re growing up. These helpers send messages to your brain, and depending on which helper is more active, one part of the brain might feel stronger than the other.

Sometimes, people say one part of the brain is more important, but it’s not really about being better or worse; it's just like having different strengths in different toys. Sex ed often doesn’t mention how these helpers and your brain work together to help you learn and grow in your own special way.

So, your brain isn't one-size-fits-all, it's a unique robot that helps you be you. Your brain is like a super smart robot that helps you learn and grow, but it doesn’t always work the same way for everyone, and sex ed often skips this important part.
