Answer 1

Ah! don't worry so much! Just go with the flow... everything always works out better like that! Wait to see what everyone else does!... I know that guys run around pretty much naked in the changing rooms!... But that's the older guys... The younger guys are very private...they only wear boxer shorts! =P

Answer 2

No, just change out in the open. All of the other girls will be doing the same thing and there is no need to be embarrassed.

Answer 3

I used the stall for the first couple of days then i was like forget this.we only had five minuted to get dressed  alot of girls wore push up bras and for underwear boyshorts,and bikini cut  :) good luck

Answer 4

No matter what people tell you, it's up to you and what you feel comfortable with. What I can say is that if you hide in the stall, you may end up bringing more attention to yourself than if you change out in the locker room.

When I was in HS, lots of girls would take off their school shirt under the T-shirt they were planning on wearing to gym class. (ie..put on your gym t-shirt, and with your arms inside the gym shirt, take off your school shirt and pull it through the neck or sleeve of the gym shirt). If you're going to wear a sports bra, you can also change that under your shrit.

As far as what kind  of bra/underwear to wear, just get something comfy. It can be fun and cute, but don't get anything too s**y for 9th grade...people might get the wrong idea :-p

Everyone is self consious in HS, so don't worry :-)

Answer 5

There's an art to changing without anybody seeing much.  One shirt comes off at the same time as the other goes on - that sort of thing.  If you're wearing a skirt, you can pull up gym shorts under the skirt before you take the skirt off, then put the skirt back on before the gym shorts come off.  Practice it a little and you'll figure it out.  

Mostly people are too busy changing as quickly as possible to scrutinize your underwear choices.  Think about it: are you planning to stare at everyone else and be critical of their underwear choices?

Answer 6

im going into 11th. honestly every one in the locker room is doing their own business and are usually too busy talking to their friends. no one gonna sit and watch you change. i wear thongs and body bras and i dont  care about changing in front of the other girls. they are doing the same thing.  you dont have to strip right down to your undies and bra..do one thing at a time, take off your jeans put on your shorts and then move on to your shirt.. you could always wear a cami under all your clothes on gym days. bring a long gym shirt and change your shirt first. that way your shirt will be so long that no one sees any thing down below and since you got a cami on theres nothing to see.

Answer 7

dont do that cause people will think that you are hinding something.plus its not cool do do that. and like every other girl,they all wear titywhiteys and regular cup bra.theres to worry about. nobody cares how you look cause there all worried about there selves trying to get ready before the tardy bell rings. besides why will people be looking @ you in a huge croud. so dont do that.hope ihelped you. =^)

Answer 8

Yeah some girls change in the stalls. I don't think thats weird or anything.Iam a senior in high school btw. as far as what type of underwear most girls wear. ummmmm boyshorts r pretty popular right now or try the bikini style hanes or something like that. hope this helps

Answer 9

You should have started changing out like that in Middle School at least ours did once you entered 7th grade. At first I was uncomfortable with it and so were other girls, but no one really cares. I'm entering 9th grade. I wear a plain white bra and my underwear vary on color. Some schools I know won't allow you to change in the bathrooms. I would suggest just getting comfortable with it.

Answer 10

It depends on wheather you are self consious about yourself or if other people make fun of you for 'your size; and if they make fun of you for change in the stalls then who cares about what other people think.

Answer 11

Just get changed in the locker room most girls don't go in stalls. And you can always wear a tank if you don't girls to see your bra. and just buy some cute boyshorts and a nice bra.

Answer 12

The more confident you are the less attention you are going to attract to yourself.  If you are constantly trying to hide people are oging to notice and then they will wonder why you are hiding.  

Just be yourself, love yourself, and you will get through.  We all did!

Answer 13

ABSOLUTE NOT.  I know girls in my school do it because my friends always complain abotu how they have to pee and can't becassue there is a line to change in the bathroom.

Answer 14

its all right, everyone is gonna b like u. 4 me, I had to start changing 4 gym in 6th grade (middle school). At first, ur all nervous and uptight about it, but no one cares what ur wearing and everyone just focuses on wat their supposed to be doin--CHANGING. Ull get used to it after a while.

BTW. i dont know about u, but at my school, we got detention and points taken off if we were caught changing in the bathroom. Its just not fair to other ppl who r doing wat they're supposed 2.

Answer 15

I change out in the open I really dont care there girls there not going to be watching you changing its not like its a group of guys. Believe me there not even paying attention..

But you can do whatever your most confertable if your not confertable changing out in the open then just use a bathroom stall.

At my school were not allowed to use the stalls, but the girls arent even concentrating on you there not going to make funn of you its not a like its a contest to see who looks the best.

And, at my school girls are just hurrying to get to P.E on time if your locker room is smaller and you have to stand side by side other girls like mine, just turn and face the lockers.

And as far as underwear I were boy shorts, deffintally dont wear a thong to gym.

Just buy a bunch of really cute bras and boyshorts. It really dosent matter the all wearing different things.

Good Luck

♥ bye

Answer 16

In my school we had a pretty open locker room it was every dude in his underwear next to each other. Better to just do it and suck it up. They will think worse of you if you run and hide.

Answer 17

im pretty sure EVERYONE is nervous changing in front of each other at gym.

i was, but you get over it.

trust me, its not as bad as you think.

everyone is too worried about themselves being seen too, that no one even sees you.

ps....freshmen?!!?

wow. i had to start changing infront of other girls for gym class in fifth grade!

Answer 18

Just change. Its a locker room. Theres girls with all kinds of bras, and underwear, body sizes, and body shapes. No need to be self concious. It's just like being in a bikini in front of girls at the pool you never met in your life. I've been through high school already, and my daughter just finished middle school, and according to her most of the girls just change in the locker room part, and not the bathroom stalls. Some girls big, small, skinny, fat, no need to be emberasses for other girls to see you in your bra and underwear.

Answer 19

It won't help you get over changing in front of girls.... That is something you should try to get over, just be comfortable with yourself. Everyone else has to do it, it will be ok

Girls wear all kinds of underwear, I used to get a lot of mine from Target or Wal-Mart.

Answer 20

Don't worry. Didn't you change in middle school? At my school, we aren't allowed to use stalls. Most people just wear normal bras and underwear. I'm in middle school though, and people who wear thongs are just talked about, or made fun of. Being a freshman, it probably isn't very different. Maybe as an upperclassman it would be, but for now just wear normal underwear, and the normal kind of bra you wear. It really isn't a big deal. You can sit down when you change your pants, and turn towards the lockers when you change your shirt so nobody sees anything you don't want them to, but really it's no big deal. We're all girls!

Answer 21

You should be comfortable with your sexuality, meaning you shouldn't feal uncomfortable changing in a locker room with a bunch of other people of the same s*x.  I would understand your discomfort if you were in a mens locker room because its the opisite s*x.  After you do it once or twice you will realize its really not that bad/scary after all.  None really cares what other people wear or what other people are doing when it comes down to the point.

Answer 22

Just change in the locker room;; no one is worried about you. they're just in there to change clothes, not pick on people for wearing this bra and that underwear.

Sometimes I just put on my gym shirt over my regular shirt ((and leave on my regular shirt;;sometimes i take it off)) and then take off my pants and put on shorts.

Answer 23

Its not that big of a deal. I've had to change for gym class since the 6th grade, and no one @ my school every really picks on girls for what they're wearing.

I'm a sophmore & I wear like underwear & bras from Aerie, and thats pretty much what everyone else wears, or something similar to that.

I would say just don't wear thongs or like really lacy underwear or bras. Nothing that looks like lingerie really. But just especially don't wear a thong, because that is just disgusting. And anyways the other girls probably won't be checking you out anyways, unless they're lesbians!!!

Unless you're swimming for gym class, then I'd say don't change in the stall, because it just makes you look kind of insecure and embarrassed. But the girls in my class always change in the stalls for swimming anyways, so thats no big deal if you go in the stall then.

Answer 24

I just went through that this year I think maybe 2 people changed in the stall butI didn't people will get pissed off cause a lot of people like to use the bathroom before gym.  No one will be looking at you they will be to worried about if other people are looking at them.  I say just change in front of everone, believe me I didn't want to but people will pay more attention if you use the stall and you will get questioned.

Answer 25

I'm a very modest person and in highschool when I joined the swim team I was so nervous about getting naked in front of everyone else.  But I did it, and realized that every one else is just as insecure.  Just turn so you're facing the lockers.  No one will tease you, they'll be concentrating on what they look like or just getting to class on time.  I'd say if a lot of girls don't do it, then don't.  As long as your undies are clean you have nothing to worry about.  Go with bikini undies, hanes her way is comfy, and any bra.  Looks better when they match. If you're big busted and have to change to a sports bra,  I had a friend who was big busted and she would put her bra on over her regular bra then take the reg bra off so no one could see. Or just don't tak the reg one off, another one of my big busted friends just wore two bras like that all the time.

Answer 26

You can change in the bathroom stall if you want...but kids might make fun of you for it. (Except when you are on your period and then it is standard. Just make sure that you have undergarments that are well taken care of and avoid anything like granny panties or powder puff girls. Bikini or boy cut underwear are usually the way to go. Bras can come in matching sets sometimes, or you could go plain, or you could go with lots of fun colors and patterns.

Answer 27

do not go into the stall to change  yes people do it but cm'on not everybody is gonna be looking at you and it will look worse if you go into the stall. pplus it takes up to much time and the people who actually have to use the bathroom will get mad so no u shud not .

Answer 28

i always went into the stall. i always wore regular bras to school... then had to change into a sports bra for gym, and i didnt want people to see me completely naked... so i went into the stall. also, thongs are a lot more popular, so unless u want someone to see your bare butt the stall is the way to go... or back into a corner, some girls did that too.

Answer 29

haha, I'm not saying you should, but you CAN...

in my old middle school, a lot of 7th grade girls changed in bathroom stalls for like, the first few weeks (first year with lockers)

trust me, you'll get over it eventually.

and it doesn't matter, a lot of girls wear different underwear.

Answer 30

No, it is not ususal to change in the bathroom stall.

It may help you to know that the others are just as self-conscious as you are.

Answer 31

just do it. if u cant change infront of girls at school how on earth are u gonna be able to change infront of ur husband in 20 years?
