How did people on the internet react?
Internet users were pleasantly pleased by the book and applauded CBSE for incorporating such important chapters in today's times. Tinder India also chimed in, suggesting that there should be a chapter on navigating breakups.
One user wrote, ''Send me the book; I need to read the entire chapter.'' Another commented, ''We weren't even permitted to be friends with boys back then. "This is great."
A third answered, ''I believe it is a wise decision. It's the internet era, and kids are exposed to a variety of things. Teaching teenagers about 'understanding' themselves and their partners will benefit them in the long run. Perhaps we'll finally be able to break free from harmful patterns."
