Seems to vary in different countries. Here in the UK it never happens, you just see the doctor if you have a problem or are unwell.

Don't know about Canada but I get one every year. I think my school requires it.

i have one every year bc its mandatory for all sports... Anyone should get them regardless though, its always better to spend an extra 15 minutes per year of your life to make sure everything is alright :)

I've always wondered does this mean we're technically "behind" in medical aspects or just not as paranoid...?

Ok so I have to get a physical every year for hockey and football. Otherwise we dont have to get one ever, unless your college requires one to enter.

the doctors' office is my second home it seems.
i have a physical every 6 months due to leukemia .
the school i go to makes all the student take a physical at the start of school.
it also requires another physical for all sports -
surprised your school doesnt make u have a physical -
might want to ask your mom or dad to take u to a doctor or nurse prac, or a PA

Agree here I went because I was sick and then got a physical but it is not a yearly thing

cant i just point out, and im not being rude, that most people think a physical is different from a yearly check up, when its not, its the same thing, and yes once you reach 13-14 you are supposed to start getting yearly ones

I know that in Pennsylvania at least you need a physical before you can get your leathers permit so I have one on thursday.

Never had one. I doubt that I have any illnesses that could be found by a simple check of my vitals ect. If so it'd already be surfaced.
