Question

School started 3 days ago,

But, tomorrow is the first day we have to dress out for p.e

I DON'T WANT TO UNDRESS IN FRONT OF PEOPLE!

Even if they are girls,

I'm really modest about this kind of stuff.

Please help!

Answer 1

Oh dear god! i went to a private catholic school and right now i am so happy they decided to let me stay after the incident with the year co ordinater!

We never had that! thank god! Maybe race everyone in there and get it over before every one else or wait till last. have you seen that episode of Scrubs when JD has the shower shorts? you can try those. Wear a tank top under your shirt so you wont have to strip down buck naked.

i really feel for you.

Answer 2

Don't worry.

Wear an tank top or undershirt.  Also don't take off your top and bottoms at the same time. Tank top is a great idea. Also you could wear you're gym shorts and shirt underneath your clothes.

Bring a change of close and where one set in the shower.There are usually separate shower. Or you could bring a face cloth and wash yourself with that wearing your close.

You could the female gym teacher if you could wait until everyone leaves the first few days. Explain how you feel. They might give you suggestions.

I know what its like, it happens to everyone. And trust me no one looks around, face the wall when you change. Please don't worry about it, you get use to it after about a week. I went through this and I'm 14.

Answer 3

Instead of showering, use a damp towel to wipe down the smelly and sweaty parts of your body. Wear tanks under your shirt and if you can, go to the showers to change also.  But trust me, it will get better as you get used to it, you will get more comfortable with other people and you may find yourself to get more comfortable in other awkward situations, which will be helpful in teenage life. Hope i helped!

Answer 4

theres a trick...you can pull your gym shirt over your reg shirt so it's just on your neck but covering your upper body. and then you pull out your other shirt. and if you get a big shirt you can cover yourself while you change into shorts...i hoped that helped :]

Answer 6

lol i was in your same position, i just did the thing where you put your pe shirt over your clothes and then take the shirt off under, i'm pretty short so my shirt was kinda like a dress on me so changing my pants was no big deal, also get a locker by your friends!

Answer 7

If you have to change in front of people, then I would take off my pants first, that way your shirt is still covering most of your body..then when you get your shorts on, turn with your back to them and change your shirt. If it is a combined locker room/bathroom, then go into a stall to change. If it makes you feel any better, I was super skinny in school and I was SOOOO embarrassed to change as well. And I never thought bad about anyone else's body because I knew that everyone was different and nobody is perfect.  

Answer 8

when you get out of the shower get dressed in the shower  

Answer 9

Honestly you'll have to get over it. You'll have to continue changing infront of people all the way through high school, and then in college if you decide to live in the dorms.

If you're that modest about it, most changing rooms in the gym have their own bathroom, but they're usually filled with other girls and you'll end up always being late.

Try wearing your P.E shorts under your clothes, otherwise your only option will be to just kind of get used to it.

How do you think everyone else feels?

Answer 10

yeah that's how all girls are like going into middle school but trust me thru time it wont even be a second thought.  

Answer 11

Ok, I know it's embarrassing, but it really does get better. If you have to take a shower, pack a swimsuit. There are ways you can put on your clothes without actually exposing yourself. Keep your towel wrapped around your chest and put on your underwear and pants, put your bra (if you wear one) and shirt on over the towel and pull it out when you're dressed.

Answer 12

I know it's a little weird, but don't worry about it - you'll get used to it.  You don't have a lot of time to change and linger around and most girls are probably just as weirded out as you are.

We had showers in middle and high school, but we weren't required to use them.  And I don't think they can force you to take a shower.

If you're really nervous, just keep looking at your locker, and change quickly.  The more you do it, the easier it gets.

Answer 13

you just have to do it

other people will be nervous too

though its too bad you have to take a shower

we never had to in middle school

start a protest or petition!

Answer 14

wear a tank top under ur shirt.

Answer 15

Talk to the PE teacher and see if she'll let you go a bit before the rest of the class that way you could get a shower before the rest of the class and you wont have others there in the shower with you!  That is what I did when I was in school.  I personally think it's wrong of schools to expect people to shower with others and feel comfortable doing so!
