How can I switch a bottom locker with another girl who has a top locker?

Question

Today we had an orientation and I am finishing Junior High (8th grade).[It was rather short. But the principal thinks its a good idea to bring everyone back together and get used to our "2nd home"] Anyways, everything was literally perfect!

[I was chosen to be a mentor and we are going to go and lots of trips and stuff.] The ONLY problem is is that I have a bottom locker. I always had the top. I am also 1 of the tallest in my class and a few short girls got the top locker. Its so frustrating. How can I switch my locker to the top? Do you think if I ask somebody will mind?

I am really confused.

If I ask, how should I ask?

I don't want to be mean.

Also the location of my locker is the best. Its near the entrance of the classroom so its a really great place!

Thanks!

Answer 1

Ask one of the shortest girls that are near you

'Hey. Would you mind switching lockers?'

Make sure ot be nice/polite. If any of her friends are closer to you, make sure to mention that to her. Think of all the good points of your locker (from her perspective) but whatever you do, DO NOT CALL HER SHORT!!

Girls HATE that!!!!!!! Just politely ask her if you could, and when she says yes, just shower her with a chorus of 'thank you's.

If this fails to work, as embarrassing as it is, talk to your teacher about it :)

Hope this helps

Have a great school year :)

Answer 2

Last year I had the bottom and I switched too.

You can just ask someone. They'll probably say yes.

Or you can ask the principal if you can change lockers because you're tall.

Answer 3

DO NOT SWITCH!!

My friend did and the person gave out the combo and she had her ipod stolen. Just bend over!! Its only 1 minute of your life...

Answer 4

well theres no harm in asking a shorter girl to switch, she might be happy about that, i dont think that would be mean or rude

Answer 5

Im pretty sure no one would want to switch lockers with you but it wont hurt to ask. Or just go up to the office and tell them how much of a inconvenience it is for you to have a bottom locker

Answer 6

Just ask.

She wont mind it.

It is not like you are asking for like a $100 or somthing.

Maybe she will say yes.

If not too bad if yes congrats, well whatever happens everything will be allright.

Answer 7

at my high school our locker system worked differently.

Years 8-12 would have lockers together. So the grade 12's automatically got top lockers...period. Then the Grade 11's would get them. The remaining top lockers would go to the grade 10's, then everybody left out would get a bottom locker.

Basically you had to progress through school and have a bottom locker BEFORE you had a top one.

Bottom line...stop whinging over a locker?

Answer 8

Just ask like " Do you think it's possible if i can switch to a top locker instead of a bottom one?"

Just ask. It's NOT hard.

Answer 9

ya it should be no problem. if you just go up to the person and politely ask: "would you mind if i had the top locker cuz its just easier for me and ive always had the top. only if you dont mind though. are you okay with the bottom?" or something along those lines...then you can switch lkr combos and everything should be fine! =]]] dont worry too much about it! good luck with HS and you should be fine ;)
