Background : Puberty is not a problem to be solved; it is simply a time of accelerated physical growth and sexual development experienced by every human. But by facing this pivotal phase of life unprepared, learners are left confused and unsupported, which in turn affects the quality of their education. Aim : In order to identify the educational need of our tunisian teenage girls in terms of knowledge, attitudes/representations and practices concerning puberty and menstruation. Design : Our study population is made up of 3 different groups : teenage girls from a "College" school environment, a group of teenage girls from an under privileged "School" environment in a situation of social vulnerability, and a group of teenagers in situation of physical vulnerability with motor disabilities. The implementation of a puberty education system was based on holistic approach research in our study. Results : The research findings show a high level of comfort with pubertal and body development with girls in all 3 groups. All the adolescents in the study underwent significant improvement in their management of their menstrual hygiene on the use of sanitary napkins. Significant attitudinal changes were observed among adolescent girls regarding gender roles and gender stereotypes in society. Increased communication with others was observed in all adolescent girls. Conclusion: This project is designed to implement better programs and better policies, in order to give all learners, despite their differences, a better chance of realizing their full potential.
