My family won’t stop ignoring the fact that I have health problems.

I haven’t been to the doctors in over 11 months to a year. They have refused to get me checked out even though they have insurance. I almost PASSED OUT at school because my heavy period flow was making me ANEMIC. They recognized this. I went through THREE pads tampons within TWO hours!

@Nevertooold A school is not responsible for treating issues with her biological menstruation.
A school is responsible for getting professional emergency treatment and notifying parents.

Since she didn't pass out, and hasn't mentioned anything about notifying the school fist aid officer - I think you are both jumping the gun, and may not be aware of school protocols and responsibilities.

@OogieBoogie I was referring to my parents. I was very well aware the school did all they could.

@justanounsorry if you thought this comment wasn't directed at you, if check , you'll see it was directed at @Nevertooold

But as I mentioned, there's not a lot of point of them sending you to a doctor when treatment is more about making changes to support your bodys ability to up blood volume and replace iron.

Hope you get better .
