English story
Pg 14
“During puberty, you get pimples on your face and
grow hair on different parts of the body.”
“That's gross!”
The grandma replied to Aa-in’s comment.
“It’s not gross. It’s a natural process of becoming
an adult.”
Pg 15
“My dad has a lot of hair on his chest and legs!
Eun-gyu commented, and the grandma replied:
“Both women and men get hair on their armpits
and around their reproductive organs.
But men get facial hair on their chin,
and their leg hair is longer and thicker.”
Pg 16
“During puberty, women start menstruation.
The ovaries in the uterus of a woman’s body
send out an egg once per month.
This egg can become a baby when it meets
the sperm made in a man’s body.”
((My sister is a mom?))
Pg 17
“However, when a woman isn’t pregnant,
this egg is naturally sent out of the body,
and that is menstruation.
The blood on your sister’s panties
is probably from when she got her menstruation.”
The grandma explained in detail.
_TIP
Once a month, one at a time,
400-500 egg cells come out from a woman’s ovaries
during her lifetime.
Pg 18
“Do men also menstruate?”
Eun-gyu asked with a curious expression.
_TIP
A sperm cell is the smallest cell in a human body,
and it’s made up of a head, middle, and tail.
The head contains the nucleus with genetic material,
the middle part has the mitochondria, the powerhouse
of the cell,
and the tail that moves from side to side
works to move the sperm forward.
Pg 19
“Men ejaculate.
During puberty, men make sperm cells in their testicles
언니, 지금 사춘기야?_0905 .indd 31
and send them out of the penis, and this is called
ejaculation.
Before becoming an adult,
you sometimes ejaculate in your sleep,
and this is called nocturnal emission.
Nocturnal emission is also a natural bodily occurrence,
so you don’t have to worry.”
_TIP
Nocturnal emission is a natural occurrence
and the evidence of growth,
so there’s no need for concern.
Pg 20
“During puberty, your mind changes as well as your
body.
You don’t want to be interfered,
and you start to like your friends more than family.
Pg 21
Starting to care more about appearance
and getting curious about the opposite gender
are also characteristics of puberty.”
The grandma explained slowly.
“That’s right. My sister looks at the mirror for a hundred
hours!”
Aa-in nodded her head.
Pg 22
Aa-in ran into her sister at home.
“Hey, is it true that your breasts grow
and you menstruate because of puberty?”
“You know about that kind of stuff?”
Surprised, Aa-in’s sister laughed.
Pg 23
((You become an adult after puberty, right?))
((Hehe, I thought you were just a kid,
but you’re all grown up now.))
Pg 25
Eun-gyu asked his brother,
“Hey bro, did you grow a beard?”
“Of course! Touch it, isn’t it prickly?”
Eun-gyu’s brother bragged and pushed out his chin.
His chin really was prickly.
“I hope I can get puberty soon too.”
Eun-gyu became slightly envious of his brother
for becoming a grown-up.
