ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Because I Am a Girl

As a girl, you have certain physical and biological features that make you female. When you were born, you had a vagina, uterus, ovaries, and other parts that make up your reproductive system. These are different from the reproductive system of a boy, who has a penis and testicles.

When you get older, your body will start to change and go through what is called puberty. This is when your body starts to develop and grow into an adult. Your breasts will start to grow, you will start to grow hair in new places, and your body will start to prepare for the possibility of having a baby one day.

One of the most important things about being a girl is that you have the power to create life. When you get older and choose to have a baby, your reproductive system will work together to help you grow a baby inside your uterus. This is called pregnancy.

Being a girl also means that you may face certain challenges and expectations in life, but it also means you have many wonderful opportunities and strengths. Remember to always be proud of who you are and what makes you unique!
