Princess Disney received her second does of the HPV vaccine today at school. Question asked of all girls was "re you pregnant?".....

I know the medical and other possible reasons "why" they ask the question but still found it jarring and disturbing they are asking Grade seven students this. Yes I know its possible for kids that young to be pregnant for ALL sorts of reasons....still jarring to hear they ask it.

If they don't and someone is, it's a colossal fuckup. -- nm - Reagen Apr 19, 10:21 1
- I agree...I am glad its all done...the vaccine and the question. Its still just jarring to hear the question at that age. -- nm - Walt_Disney Apr 19, 10:43
Well you have to ask..cause..you know -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 19, 10:16 1
- Otoh, how would an 11yo know, of early on..or would lie out of fear, embarrassment or shame -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 19, 10:27
It is very sad that the question even needs to be asked. And I'm sure a parent it would be jarring. -- nm - sycor Apr 19, 10:15 2
- I'm not a parent, but I think the medical reasons justify it. If the person is biologically able to, it's not a nonsensical question. - Marlowe Apr 19, 10:19 1
  - I agree completely from the staff perspective of course you have to ask. -- nm - sycor Apr 19, 10:26
