Legitimate Doctor Visits?

I saw a status update from someone on my Fb today questioning why someone she thought to be between 10-12 was at the gynecologist's office. The tone of the question and the tone of several of the comments were heavy on the condemnation of the assumed promiscuity of this girl who no one actually knows nothing about including her age. At 20-21 I looked like a tween and since I was pregnant I was at the gyn office quite a bit and on the receiving end of more than a few snide remarks and affronted looks Those people like these had no information just assumptions and felt free to judge me based on them. In that case the assumptions were wrong but what if they had been right and I was a 12 yr old? Would that have made it right for people to treat me badly? People often wonder why kids don't seek adult help when things happen that are outside of their realm but right here we have a good example of one reason. Kids aren't dumb they know that regardless of why they need to go to the gyn they're going to be treated like sluts and frankly that isn't appealing. It's rough enough amongst peers but when you have grown assed people jumping on the bandwagon. Sometimes I despair for the lack of compassion I see all around me.
