Conclusion
Given the context, I will assume you are requesting a long-form, historically grounded article about the state of puberty and sexual education for boys and girls in Belgium around 1991. This was a pivotal time just before the internet revolutionized access to information, and Belgium had a unique linguistic and educational divide (Flemish vs. French communities).
Below is a comprehensive article based on that theme.

Introduction: The Lost Year of Analogue Adolescence
Imagine the year 1991. A 13-year-old boy in Liège hides a worn copy of a Tintin magazine featuring a surprisingly anatomical diagram of human reproduction. A girl in Antwerp whispers with friends in the schoolyard, comparing notes on the mysterious "period kit" handed out by the school nurse—a small brown paper bag containing a pamphlet and a single pad. For teenagers in Belgium that year, puberty was a secret language spoken through blushes, vague biology textbooks, and hushed conversations in locker rooms.
In 1991, Belgium was a nation navigating its own puberty: the fall of the Berlin Wall was fresh, the first Gulf War was televised live, and the country was intensifying its federalization into distinct communities (Flemish, French, and German-speaking). Against this backdrop, sexual education for boys and girls was neither standardized nor guaranteed. It was a patchwork of progressive Catholic guilt, emerging socialist pragmatism, and Flemish directness versus French romanticism.
This article explores exactly what a boy and a girl in Belgium in 1991 learned (or failed to learn) about puberty, sex, and growing up—decades before #MeToo, comprehensive digital consent apps, or gender-neutral toilets.
