From your name I'm assuming that you are a girl. It's suggested that men and women start to get exams when they become sexually active or around turning 18. This would be just to check for overall health problems:
For women- any cysts on ovaries or potentially cancerous cells
For boys - lumps in their testicles, ect

For girls this would be a pap smear/ physical exam (put that into a search engine and you'll get more specific information)

Girls are supposed to once they become sexually active. I would think the same idea applies to boys.

not that i know of

im and 18 year old male.. and no we dont need to get checked...
the only time i would go get my *cough cough* checked is after i had sex if i think i got and STD.. never happened... but no we dont have to

Boys don't have a set "thing" that has to be checked. How ever, testicular cancer is a young mans cancer and they do need to see the doctor every couple of years. It they are doing any heavy lifting they will also need to be checked for a hernia. This is done by the doctor or practitioner placing a finger up into the scrotum and having the boy cough. This needs to be done every couple of years. Hope this helps.
