I've never known this.

Do schools in Japan teach students about Personal Development?

I found that kids in Japan tend to know a great deal about the subject, even from a young age which I think is a good thing in some respects.

We had a subject named PD when I was apaproximately 12 years old and in Australian sixth class.

It was a fun class for obvious reasons learning all about hormones, and what happens to our bodies as we grow, suffice to say no more.

I think the topic tends to be slightly more taboo in Western Culture, and that was proven a few days ago on the Facer thread, although changing pages to the Cosplay photos, really seems to contradict the idea..

The human body is an amazing machine and having been through my child's birth, and learning a lot through pre natal classes, It really opened my eyes to the amazing works of the human anatomy, although at the same time being human, makes us one of the most dependant animals on this planet from birth.
