It’s the age when kids feel an intense need to be part of a group. Part of being a group is making sure people outside the group know they’re excluded.

Im not saying it’s a good thing, obviously, but I think it’s a dynamic teens encounter everywhere, whether it’s a Catholic or non-Catholic school.
 
Yeah. It happens everywhere. I was both a victim and a bully as a kid. I got picked on so i would find someone else to pick on to feel bigger and badder.

And the public schools have better discipline—but more sex—than the Catholic school. At least he can talk about his faith there.

What do you mean by more sex?
Are you talking about your public school system? Because I work in a public school system. And we come down pretty hard on anything inappropriate.
 
This has not been my observation, but you’re not planning to send him to public school, so it won’t affect you in either way.

except he is know as the tall, ripped freshman. That makes his stand out and he is chaste.

Seriously? I would have died, literally fallen to the ground and DIED if my mom asked me if I were “chaste”. In teen years, we have to let our children begin to live what they have learned. At the most questioning a son’s chastity should be a dad thing.

And mom’s might describe their son as “fit” but “ripped” is just icky.
 
My son is an open book. I don’t have to ask him anything. He tells me way more information than I need to know.

Seriously, my kid has 0 friends. He’s not invited out or over to do things. His dad taught him how an orthodox Catholic should behave. Second, do you really thing I would comment on his build? I said he “was known as” … This is the nickname he has at school when someone doesn’t know his name.

The info I got about our public school came from my OB/GYN, whose daughter is the same age. She informed me that her daughter knows countless girls who have already used Plan B. Why should I doubt her?

Yes, it is a mute point. 3 more weeks until sanity.

Thank you @Dacinom for your support. People here jump to way too many conclusions before asking more questions or for clarification.

So your comment was about your public school system? So your information is basically 2nd-3rd party about the “countless girls.” And you are sure that Catholic teenage girls at your sons school have not had sex? Seems unlikely by the way you have described the students in this school. How do you know the public school girls are having more sex?
 
Hold up. The OB/GYN is gossiping about students?

As an RN I find that unethical. And childish. And a few other things I’ll keep to myself, actually.
 
I don’t know. They probably are. It was merely a comparison told to me from someone who has a daughter with a friend who happens to go to DS’s school.
 
Plus teenagers of both sexes lie through their teeth.

I can remember hearing things about myself in high school that I knew darn well weren’t true. It’s part of why high school sucks.
 
No. I asked her what the sexual atmosphere is like for 15 year old girls. This has nothing’s to do with medical privacy.

Doesn’t that violate HIPPA?

Good question.

Not really. HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountabilty Act) is a bit more complex than that.

This violates HIPAA (if it were true, LOL): “Sally Sallerson, Mary Maryson, Annie Annieson, and Patty McPatterson all go to St Somewhere’s Catholic High School and came in my office and got Plan B.”

This doesn’t: “I’ve had five girls from that school come see me for Plan B.”

However, the latter is unprofessional and stuff like that can go badly for the practitioner.

I didn’t say it has to do with medical privacy.

I said it’s unethical, childish - and actually a bit sad. The OB/GYN is repeating things her teen daughter has told her that may or may not be true. Way to adult.

Ethical questionability doesn’t mean that HIPAA has been violated. It means professionally that person’s a bit questionable.

Plus that person is the OB/GYN, which sort of implies they may not be repeating things the daughter has said. That’s why it casts that person in a questionable light professionally.

Like I said, way to adult.

No. I see what goes on where I live. No guess on that data.

But that’s not why it’s not a HIPAA violation.

It’s not a HIPAA violation because it’s not specific. And because it’s hearsay and gossip (from a teenager, no less).

Legally you yourself as a non-protected entity under the law could actually say “I saw Patty McPatterson in Dr. Blabbermouth’s office and I heard her say she got Plan B.” But the receptionist at the desk can’t.

Even I can talk about patients I’ve met and treated, but it has to be very generalized and it can’t reveal identifying information like name or birthdate or things of that nature (you can’t be able to piece together whom I’m talking about, in other words).

I am sorry that you live in a tough environment and that school has been tough for your son.
