check-ups
what do they do at check ups? i havent been to one i na long time. like i know the weigh you and see how tall you are, take your temperature, and isten to your heart beat. but what else do they do? because last year the doctor thought it was a "12 year old check up" instead of the one for 7th grade so she started talking about periods and how they would check to make sure it was ok and everything next time. so do you think they will do it this time?
thnx lol

Well, first of all, if you're a guy, you should have a guy doctor and if you're a girl, you should have a female doctor. Makes things a whole lost more comfortable, haha =P
Anywhos, at check ups, they take your height, weight, blood pressure. Then they check your eye sight and take some blood for testing [I forgot what] If you're a girl, they'll recommend you for the HVP vaccine. And you should have you or your parent[s] ask the doctor for a list of shots you need or need updates on. I haven't been to one in a few years and I still need lots of shots:
HPV, Hepatitis A [I'm a vegetarian so my mom wanted me to get it], Chicken pox booster, Meningitis, and I think that was it. It might vary as to what you need to get. But basically they do basic stuff and if you need shots, they give you shots =)

Well, I have a girl doctor that I just switched to recently & she's extremely nice. She just gets my height / weight & blood pressure, checks my ears & eyes, etc. Those are the basics. Then they might check your back to see if you have scoliosis [spelling?].
They also have a list of questions they ask. I've gotten asked the same questions recently & some of them are the same as when I was a kid. They ask what kind of foods I eat, if I smoke / drink, things about my period, if I swear, if I hang out with friends, if I have a boyfriend, a job - basically a lot of questions about my life.
It's really easy & I doubt they can really "check" to make sure your periods are okay. They'll probably just ask you questions about it.
Nothing to be worried about. :]
