Throughout the show, the writers put the characters through humiliating situations, but thanks to that they humanize their problems. Big Mouth not only presents the problems, but also suggest solutions, which is really helpful for those wondering "what's next" after experiencing humiliation at school.

The most important thing that the show does is ridiculing said shameful moments to the point that they are no longer shameful. These things happen to everybody, no one is free of ridicule, so there's really no such thing as shame when it comes to puberty.

Another lesson is that discovering your body and the way it "works" is nothing to be ashamed of as well. When Jessi gets to know her vagina, they have a rather nice conversation, and by the end of it the girl is convinced that the two will be best friends. It's a very simple yet successful scene and one that could be very helpful for all the girls, who think that sexuality is something bad.
