Answer 1

it doesn't matter! i bet most people r worried too! so just see the first time what happens. if u feel very uncomfortable then the second time change in the bathroom or something.

Answer 2

Its fine you will get used to after a while. I had the same problem and everyone else will be just as uncomfortable as you! A couple kids changed in the bathroom at first but after a while you will be more comfortable! Have Fun!  

Answer 3

as long as you are wearing a bra/undershirt, you'll be OK.

also, this might sound kinda lame, but when i shaved my legs, i began feeling a lot more confident!  

Answer 4

If you don't want to change infront of other girls, go do it in the bathroom or changing room. Most girls locker rooms should have at least one or the other in it.

Answer 5

Use a restroom stall for changing until you are more comfortable around the girls in your class.  

Answer 6

Wear a tank top under your shirts so you won't have to take it off before you put on your gym shirt.  But if you sweat a lot, get one that's low under the armpits.  

By the way: No granny panties!  Wear some bikini or boyshort (I think that's what you call them) underwear.

Answer 7

I used to change in the private stalls

Or i wore a camisole

so when i took my shirt off all you saw was my in a camisole

but after a while you get used to it

Answer 8

don't worry about it.

for the first few days, change in the private stall until you are more comfortable.

nobody will be watching you. it's fine.

and you WILL get used to it, then it won't be a big deal at all, just a hassle. trust me :)

Answer 9

My daughter is 11 and is entering 6th grade and she has to change for Gym. Just go ahead and ask your mom, be like ' Hey mom, is it alright if i start shaving?' Tell her you feel uncomfortalbe. Just remember, all these kids feel as awkward as you do. Practice!. You'll do fine :)

Answer 10

its normal. You will be changing into what? gym shorts and top? so you will at least have a bra and panties on all the time. Its like you are wearing a bikini...top and bottoms...so just focus on that and remember the other girls are just as nervous and embarrassed.

Just talk to your mom she wont take it bad..its will be easy

Answer 11

Don't worry about it.

Most of the other girls will feel as weird as you do

They are gonna do all they can to NOT watch the other

girls and just go in there and get changed..

So don't worry about it.

;)

Answer 12

If you don't know them then they don't know you. Trust me, people don't actually go around making fun of others' bodies in the locker room. If you're that uncomfortable then just wear extra deodorant and your gym clothes for the day until you get more comfortable with the others in your class.

I'm going into 8th grade. Really its no big deal.

Answer 13

What your feeling is normal, just remember that all of the other kids feel just as awkward as you do.
