Start a petition for schools to teach breast examination to all students

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

To make this a part of the school curriculum to teach students, around puberty would probably be best, so that all students to know how to examine their breast, looks for signs of breast cancer/differences and to know symptoms of breast cancer. So then they can know about it later on in life.
I work in an outpatients clinic in breast and I have seen many people who don’t know the right way to examine themselves. And as it’s not taught in schools how would they know what’s the proper way?

Why it was rejected

It was created under a fake or incomplete name.
