When I was at the Catholic school
they did health screenings on us kids
we went into a room with a large metal table
stripped down to our underwear
and they examined our torsos
including the stickies to test our heart
I think I was in 5th grade, maybe 4th
and I’m pretty sure I had no boobies yet
I remember it well because it was so shocking
Phil says it was a dream
no it wasn’t, honest to God truth
can you imagine that happening today
I was home schooled so I can’t. That’s why i am so socially naive.
I wasn’t at a Catholic school. That sounds so scary
I can recall this too. Standing in line with the all the rest of the girls in our underwear. But i think it was like 1-2nd grade and not for boobie checking. It was scoliosis and maybe a shot.
I remember being screened for scoliosis but we all had our clothes on for that.
We were screened for scoliosis in grade school, it was just a regular school tho…
My back showed signs of a slight curvature, so I had to take all my clothes off except my underwear.
Not a problem for me.
At one psych hospital going through intake, I was told to unbutton my pants and lay on my back on this table in the middle of a tiny room.
It was only the older male Dr. and me.
Not too sure what he was looking for, but he took his time with the exam.
Was he a perv?
Probably.
Did I care too much?
Nah, I was much too psychotic to care,
I was more afraid of the dinner that followed.
oh, ok, so you’re saying I’m blowing it out of proportion?>
Phil’s got a good head on his shoulders
and it seemed so outrageous, and offensive, he didn’t believe it.
He said a parent needed to be there.
He’s right, and this would never happen today.
bad things used to happen but they don’t happen anymore?
it didn’t happen to my kids
what are you saying? in schools?
No, not at all.
You have every right to feel how you did and no one should tell you different.
It’s just that compares to what I had to grow up with, it just didn’t bother me very much.
