In Nevada City a young teenager named Celine Randall says it was a day that she cannot forget. Celine claims that a counselor at her middle school took her out of her class, confronted her about pregnancy rumors and then forced her to urinate in a cup for a pregnancy test.

She states that he made her do it and that she was very confused about the whole situation. Her parents who are filing a lawsuit wanted to know if they meaning the school were concerned, why they didn’t get other people involved. They felt that the counselor violated their child’s right to privacy. The staff at the Middle school refuse to comment on the situation.

Celine’s pregnancy test came out to be Negative and proved that she is not pregnant.

Ok so my whole Issue with this is why did the school counselor allegedly even get involved with a female teenage pregnancy rumor. If he felt that he was doing well by forcing her to take a pregnancy test, then he was clearly wrong. I think that this counselor overstepped his boundaries and took it too far. We want to encourage teen to stop having sex at an early age to help prevent the rise of teen pregnancies and STDs. We do not want kids to be embarrassed by their peers. These children have to feel comfortable to talk to us about sex, and if we follow in the steps of the counselor at the middle school that will never happen.

  1. i think that People are starting to not even care about pregnancy anymore - they just get an abortion. nothing seems to be taboo nowadays.

  2. I feel like teen pregnancy is huge and will continue to be for a while, when I graduated elementary school I graduated with 4 pregnant friends and I went to a strict catholic school. I don't think it was right for the counselor to do any of that. If there was suspicion of her being pregnant the counselor should have spoken to her at another time and I don't think he had any right to make her take a pregnancy test.
