[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]I remember some kind of basic sessions for girls in 8th grade health class, but don't recall this film at all. It's quite well done and I really like the emphasis on the naturalness and normalcy of bodily cycles, and the importance of overall good health habits.

What it leaves out is any mention of sex, including emotional/behavioral changes and "urges" in teens. Maybe they had another film for that later on, but it, too, is one I never saw in school. Where I came from, we were left completely in the dark on that subject -- except for a general prohibition, of course.
