There are age appropriate ways to explain the birds and bees to kids. The adults in their lives should give the kid enough detail for them to understand. In the same way a 5 year old normally can't do or comprehend long division, a little 7 year old would not be able grasp that little hole conversation.
Instead, a parent should explain to kids enough about their bodies that they understand when a child predator comes along that they are trying to do something bad. It will equip the kid.
I care about this kind of screening so long as it is not a matter for the criminal justice system. It is not okay to give that kind of medical information out wholesale.
The way they've made schools into a place where police officers remain to keep the peace, I don't want them principals able to handle the individual results.
no. i'm a teenager and theres no way i'm going to let somebody test me for STDs. i'm not even sexually active theres no way i have an STD. I don't need a nurse or doctor poking and prodding my private parts to see if i have warts. i can identify them myself anyways.
drugs I kinda go no unless you have reason. For stds yeah once a year I feel is reasonable provided they are active and not the kids that are in the basement playing dungeons and dragons. Well unless it's sexy dungeons and dragons. Orc herpes are really nasty.
STI testing makes sense to protect the child, but screening the child for drugs doesn't help the child, only it helps parents spy on their children.
It also opens some MASSIVE issues in terms of who has access to that information (ie do positive STI results get shared with parents, do positive drug results get shared with family and police?).
I caught my son w/pot (he is 17) in our "discussion" about it, he said I could test him. Here is the problem with that. If I test him i am telling him that he will not learn from his mistakes, but repeat them.
I would much rather show trust in him (even if he makes another mistake) than teach him that he can only do right if someone makes him.
@finerbiner Excellent point. There are psychological costs associated with making something mandatory, no matter how good you think it is for people. I don't think it's always easy for authoritarians and utilitarians to see that. You sound like a good dad. Hope it works out with your son.
@ganggreensoldier The life expectancy of an untreated patient is between 6 months up to 2 years. The one of a treated patient, using the latest and most expensive medical care is between 10 to 15 years, in exceptional cases up to 25 years . That doesn't take in account the natural evolution of the virus which negates the medical advancements, and which are harder and harder to obtain - the initial drugs (like AZT) are now practically useless.
@EvilFingers There comes a point called personal responsibility. Quite frankly, required drug screening is a slippery slope best not traveled upon. It is not illegal to do drugs, but it is illegal to possess them. Prohibition is still quite debatable, and just like smoking cigarettes (which are illegal for minors to buy, but not use), should be up to the parent's and/or individual's right.
As for STD screening, any sexually active individual should do this.
As a teenager I hated when anything like this would be suggested. I hated feeling like everyone assumed I was doing something wrong [of course, my own mom could tell for herself that I wasn't] simply because of my age. I wasn't having sex or doing drugs in high school so any kind of mandatory test for drugs/stds would have pissed me off. I support free/confidential STD tests at schools though to help keep kids clean.
This is just the government's last ditch effort at trying to win the war on drugs. The logic here is that if kids are constantly being tested for drugs, they're just not going to bother getting into them. But this just means they're going to take extra steps to go around these tests.
@fingrid given the fact that it's been proven that thc actually stimulates brain cell growth....why not smoke? yeah, yeah, resin in your lungs, dude, vaporize, and then take your vaped herb and make some tea!
I think these tests should be left up to the parents, not educators. Firstly, where would the time and funding come from? Secondly, there is a creepyness factor here that I just can't get past. Its a violation of these kids on a really weird level. If their parents want to submit them to these tests, fine. But schools... no. Spend the money to educate them.
Well, I was a good kid who was constantly accused of drug use and sex. On the one hand, the vindication would be good; on the other hand, I can't help imagine that kids would start drinking and using LSD (neither get screened from what I understand) because of the challenge of beating the system. Junior High was when most kids I knew began experimenting. So how about this. If you can send your kid for a checkup - screen without telling them - without records or the school involved.
If one is young and having sex you should get regular STD tests. It's just a good idea. As for drug testing that is completely up to the parents. If one thinks their child is doing drugs and screwing up their life one should get them tested. If a teen gets pregnant this is a sign of poor judgement and so the parents should have no problem getting them tested for what ever they want.
I never did drugs as a teenager nether did 70% of the azns, black minorities in general. Just test the whities. I could be wrong and only white people openly do drugs.
@fantasy0coach lol you won't get arrested if your parent get's you drug tested, it's different than getting drug tested at work or by the police. If the doctors release that information they'd be breaking doctor-patient confidentiality laws and could be sued. It's hilarious though your comment get's thumbed up so much, shows how stupid TYT fans are.

These fuckers are more concerned with creating second class citizens and isolating us down to our chemical consumption than they are with providing facilities for education and community well-being. It is time for a revolution. It is inevitable.
If you people think pre-teens aren't having that much sex these days you're out of your mind. People are starting earlier and earlier, and we really need to be careful with that.
I thought it was great that they brought up the first time with sex not being the greatest. If anything, teens should be warned that the first time will probably be horribly awkward and unenjoyable (especially if you are female with an intact hymen) and if it is your partner's first time too. I'm actually pretty surprised I continued to have sex after my first time because it was so awful, lol. I guess I was smart enough to know that not every time would be like that.
This is basically a result of calling in quits on trust.
What happens when we stop trusting our kids?
Has it really gotten so bad in the US that actually sitting down and having honest conversations with your own children about relevant and intimate issues has been totally abandoned?
I always thought it was recommended to have regular health screening at least once a year. Also, people recommend that people eat less red meat, more veggies and watch less T.V.. I recommend that people read more books, especially The Hitchhiker's Guide to The Universe. Very good book. Recommend..... pshhhhhh.....
No. The costs alone would be enormously exorbitant to try to test every single teen/pre-teen in the United States of America regularly.
Why are we inventing these pathetic excuses to make medical matters even MORE expensive when the national debt is as bad as it is and the job situation is as bad as it is?
Let the parents buy the drug tests themselves.
STD tests are different but parents should be allowed to opt out. What if the kid got an STD because his/her mother had it?
@fangorn23 Good point, but to your last question, depends on how the child got it from the mother. I am assuming you mean through childbirth (which for most diseases these days is extremely avoidable) but in some cases it could be because of abuse.
Unless you're a stupid as fuck parent; you will know if you're kid is doing meth. As far as pot goes you can figure that out IF they are a pot head. It's pretty obvious
@C1Era the only reason i found out my cousin was a regular smoker is because it came up in a conversation. he still gets great grades in school and owns a company with his friends that helps to host parties at different night clubs. he is very successful in his career and that boy make sean paul look clean
My mom is the one who talked to me about the birds and the bees. It was probably less akward for her since we're very close, our age difference isn't much, and because i'm a girl. She didn't go in depth but did remind me to be safe. All parents should do that whether or not they have a close relationship or w.e....
What about regularly screening adults for drugs and stds? Is adult health any less of an issue than pre-teens or teens?
The std side I agree with - people should have a blood test on a regular basis like any other medical check, like an eye test.
The drug issue is where I think it gets dodgy and moves from being a public health to a social control issue. Std's don't criminalise people, positive drug tests do. So is this a heath issue or law enforcement?
@Teloculos Maybe they feel adults are responsible enough to make an appointment to get screened. Teens might feel like they'll get in trouble if they go, or maybe they don't know where to get screened.
What you forgot that you smoked a joint or snorted some coke and want to find out? Or see if anyone's been spiking your food/drink? No, that's bullshit. The only reason for drug testing is law enforcement, and why differentiate on that between kids and adults?
And I don't know any adults besides sex workers who go for regular std screening so why should children be compelled to be tested for things that adults are not?
Parents shouldn't avoid talking about things with their kids just because they're uncomfortable. Often the uncomfortable conversations are the most important ones to have.
What a disgusting oppressive form of social control. Preteens (and teenagers) have lower STD rates than adults do (not to mention the fact that most of them aren't even sexually active!). The only point is to make these kids feel ashamed about their behavior and feel that they're under a close watch and to humiliate them so they feel they have no privacy and no personal autonomy.
@MrHav1k Way to have an intelligent conversation (NOT!). I have news for you- there are a lot of teens out there having sex (and getting pregnant) in middle school. You may not like it, but that doesn't mean it's not true. Take of the blinders and face the facts.
Here's the basic deal. Take the kids regularly to their PRIVATE physician if they wish to have a check up. Give them drug test if they starts stealing your money and the other drug related symptoms. Give them an STD test if they tell them it hurts when they pee.
They should provide free home drug-test kits for parents, to be able to find out if your child is experimenting, and needs some insight and information---all while not getting it on their record, or reported to the police.
.
Personally I did A LOT of experimenting with drugs in my early & mid teens---a great deal of which was too much, and would not have happened had I got some words of wisdom from my parents---who had them, but simply didn't know what I was doing.
@dAda313 Drug & STD tests for politicians? You mean test to see if the people who run our country and dictate the way in which we can live our lives, to see if they're using mind altering substances? This has already been suggested many times over---time after time we're told its simply unethical---which OF COURSE its unethical.
.
Its unethical to intrude on the lives of our incorruptible leaders by seeing if they're using drugs, but its mandatory for us to monitor the habits of harmless teens
@1995Nekfeu But many hardcore drugs stay in the system for only a couple days, while weed will stay in much longer, up to a month. So you will only find marijuana users if the other users find out a couple days in advance
People dying cause they cant afford basic care. And a recommendation to get REGULAR drug and sexual disease tests, for ALL PRETEENS!!! All those tests would cost more than $200 for medical costs. Every PRETEEN should do this several times a year???
TYT doesn't want drug testing, but they want STD testing.
So, you want to know if your kid has herpes, but you don't want to know if they're doing the hero.
So....you're concerned if they got the dribble, but not if they're addicted to something that could affect their physical, mental, and emotional well being.
Puh-lease. Marijuana stays in your system the longest, hard drugs are hard to trace over a week's time, Pot stays there for a month. This is just another way to discriminate and create second class citizens over a benign plant. The writing is on the wall. Fuck you DEA.
its more fear mongering and paranoia i would expect that the AAP has some other motives drug use in pre-teens is rare, and the vast majority of illicit drugs consumed are consumed by adults not teens or preteens. just one more useless recommendation in the drug war, but STI screening is vital
No testing pre-teens for STDs/STIs. That's kind of invasive and I feel they'd be too young to handle that kind of thing. Just educate them at home about the risks and have a full-disclosure standpoint with your children and sexuality.
ALL drug tests are a volation of personal rights. ESPECIALLY when they are ordered by somebody who works for the government. You are all accepting fascism and then wondering where your freedoms went. WAKE THE FUCK UP!
Experimentation my ass all i heard when i was in high school drug this part this bad trip that and so on. Drug test should happen holy shit i've never did that shit cause only bad shit comes from drugs.
i work in a medical lab, and there have been times when i get chlamydia tests from a 13 year old, and it's gone as young as 3 years old. kinda makes you wonder.
STD test I'm fine with. But if that drug test has marijuana as a drug label I'm going to tell them to fuck off and focus on the ones that might kill me like cocaine or heroin
in canada i went to an std clinic to test out if i got fucked...and she asked me if i did drugs...i said no...then 5 secs later i said i smoked weed and she said "well weed isn't a real drug, i meant hardcore drugs" I LOLED SOOOOO HARD!
There's being uncomfortable and there's being a bit worried because the person you are talking to may feel uncomfortable, and they look much the same. I'd be only too keen to tell my daughter about how disrespectful and sexist men can be (and how women can facilitate this with their own ingrained sexism), but it's finding the right time and having some surity that what I said would be taken on board that I'd be worried about.
I completely agree with testing children for drugs and diseases. Don Corleone said it right: keep the narcotics away from the kids. I am pro-drug-test: I simply don't understand why it could be a bad thing.

Unless you're a stupid as fuck parent; you will know if you're kid is doing meth. As far as pot goes you can figure that out IF they are a pot head. It's pretty obvious

@C1Era the only reason i found out my cousin was a regular smoker is because it came up in a conversation. he still gets great grades in school and owns a company with his friends that helps to host parties at different night clubs. he is very successful in his career and that boy make sean paul look clean

My mom is the one who talked to me about the birds and the bees. It was probably less akward for her since we're very close, our age difference isn't much, and because i'm a girl. She didn't go in depth but did remind me to be safe. All parents should do that whether or not they have a close relationship or w.e....

What about regularly screening adults for drugs and stds? Is adult health any less of an issue than pre-teens or teens?
The std side I agree with - people should have a blood test on a regular basis like any other medical check, like an eye test.
The drug issue is where I think it gets dodgy and moves from being a public health to a social control issue. Std's don't criminalise people, positive drug tests do. So is this a heath issue or law enforcement?
Teloculos 3 months ago
@Teloculos Maybe they feel adults are responsible enough to make an appointment to get screened. Teens might feel like they'll get in trouble if they go, or maybe they don't know where to get screened.

What you forgot that you smoked a joint or snorted some coke and want to find out? Or see if anyone's been spiking your food/drink? No, that's bullshit. The only reason for drug testing is law enforcement, and why differentiate on that between kids and adults?
And I don't know any adults besides sex workers who go for regular std screening so why should children be compelled to be tested for things that adults are not?
Teloculos 3 months ago
Parents shouldn't avoid talking about things with their kids just because they're uncomfortable. Often the uncomfortable conversations are the most important ones to have.

What a disgusting oppressive form of social control. Preteens (and teenagers) have lower STD rates than adults do (not to mention the fact that most of them aren't even sexually active!). The only point is to make these kids feel ashamed about their behavior and feel that they're under a close watch and to humiliate them so they feel they have no privacy and no personal autonomy.

Here's the basic deal. Take the kids regularly to their PRIVATE physician if they wish to have a check up. Give them drug test if they starts stealing your money and the other drug related symptoms. Give them an STD test if they tell them it hurts when they pee.

It would cost a lot less to legalize weed, have DARE programs come in, and do comprehensive sex ed.
But that would be too easy, and no lobbyists would profit from it.

They should provide free home drug-test kits for parents, to be able to find out if your child is experimenting, and needs some insight and information---all while not getting it on their record, or reported to the police.
.
Personally I did A LOT of experimenting with drugs in my early & mid teens---a great deal of which was too much, and would not have happened had I got some words of wisdom from my parents---who had them, but simply didn't know what I was doing.
I wish they did.

@dAda313 Drug & STD tests for politicians? You mean test to see if the people who run our country and dictate the way in which we can live our lives, to see if they're using mind altering substances? This has already been suggested many times over---time after time we're told its simply unethical---which OF COURSE its unethical.
.
Its unethical to intrude on the lives of our incorruptible leaders by seeing if they're using drugs, but its mandatory for us to monitor the habits of harmless teens

TYT doesn't want drug testing, but they want STD testing.
So, you want to know if your kid has herpes, but you don't want to know if they're doing the hero.
So....you're concerned if they got the dribble, but not if they're addicted to something that could affect their physical, mental, and emotional well being.

No testing pre-teens for STDs/STIs. That's kind of invasive and I feel they'd be too young to handle that kind of thing. Just educate them at home about the risks and have a full-disclosure standpoint with your children and sexuality.

There's being uncomfortable and there's being a bit worried because the person you are talking to may feel uncomfortable, and they look much the same. I'd be only too keen to tell my daughter about how disrespectful and sexist men can be (and how women can facilitate this with their own ingrained sexism), but it's finding the right time and having some surity that what I said would be taken on board that I'd be worried about.
