Introductions: Knowledge about menstruation is a special concern for women who are going through puberty. Menarche or what is also called the beginning of menstruation in women currently occurs earlier, namely at an early age. The average age of menarche is 12-14 years with a prevalence of 60%, while at the age of 11-12 years it is 30.3% and at the age of 13 years it is 30%. Some of them experience menarche after they are thirteen years old. Lack of knowledge about menstruation in children who are going through early puberty can result in anxiety disorders
