Showers in high school for girls?

Question

Do girls in high school have to take showers after gym class? If they do, is it private showers, or just one big room? I start high school next week and I'm really nervous, because I don't want other girls to see me naked.

Answer 1

When i was in HS, i never did 'cause i didn't get smelly and sweaty. It's not like they make you, just don't take one. They are seperated by walls anyway,cover with a towel then walk over to the shower area, it's not so bad. Once you get to know your classmates, you'll be more comfortable with it. Hey, when you come right down to it we all  have the same body parts!

Answer 2

We had showers in our changing rooms but we never used them.  They were full of mops and boxes, lol.  Not enough time in between classes...

Answer 3

i think it depends on the high school, but i totally understand.  i got out of pe in high school.  i had to have my mom sign something showing that i was getting physical activity outside of school and that way i'd be able to take other classes that i wouldn't have had time to take otherwise.

Answer 4

No you don't have to but you can if you have time u can. Bring deodorant and body spray and other smell good stuff. Especially if you have it in the morning you don't want to stink all day.

Answer 5

At my school the people didn't really bother. We'd use deodorant/antiperspirant and those like freshening sprays that smell like lilac and vanilla and stuff, plus some girls would have like those water mist spray things. But our gym class was kind of lame so no one really showered because they didn't need to. There was this one girl who was weird and gave herself a sponge bath but no one really liked her = (

Also, most girls did their hair so fancy in the morning the humidity from the shower would turn them into puffballs for the rest of the day. Lol.

Answer 6

We can. And they had stalls.  

Answer 7

Pretty much the only time we ever take showers in gym class is after swimming, and then you have your swimsuit on.

Our school does have those big open, communal showers, but I've never seen one single person use them.

For us, showering after p.e. is optional, so nobody ever does.

But our gym classes are only like 45 minutes long, so there's never enough time anyway.

If I were you, I'd ask someone that goes to your school.

But don't worry about it.  

Answer 8

Nobody has to take a shower if they choose not to.

Answer 9

hahaha, i'm sorry, some answers are funny. Most schools give you the option of showering and stuff,they don't make you anymore, or so i've heard.

Answer 10

Usually, they don't. There isn't enough time to do that and then go to your next class.  Bring deodorant with you and maybe a travel packet of wet wipes to get rid of your sticky sweat. :)

Answer 11

at my school its just this big open room, but they dont make us shower and almost no one does

Answer 12

When I was in high school..  guys had to shower..  see each other naked and everything. Don't pick up the soap!

Answer 13

I never took a shower in high-school in front of anyone.  Actually I do not even think I ever took gym in High-school.  I took health, but not gym.  It all depends on your school anyways.  I don't think you will have to take a shower though.

Answer 14

uhmm... I've never actually seen my high school's showers. But I'ev heard that they're not one big room, but its like a stall, but lacking curtains... soooo I don't know. Maybe they're normally supposed to have curtains.

Answer 15

most schools dont i know at my school they dont and they are itn a big room well with stalls though

Answer 16

You're an old pervert.

Answer 17

welll you DON'T have to take a shower after gym class. For the most part i don't think. Probably depends on the school. And, if the school has a pool then you'd probably have to rinse off in the showers real quick (can do so with bathing suit on though) before getting in the pool.

Answer 18

I don't know about girls, but when I went to high school, the P.E. teachers would always make us (guys) take showers 10 minutes before gym ended. They'd usually stand there and watch us to make sure.

Answer 19

Most schools don't make you.

My school has showers there if you want to take one, but pretty much no one uses them. Just bring body spray stuff or whatever so you don't smell sweaty. :P

And it depends on the school if it's an open room or not..

From what I've seen, most schools have seperate showers for girls, but it's just one big room for boys.

The only time my school makes us shower is if we've been swimming in the pool. And when that happened, we all just wore our bathing suits into the shower, then changed after.

Don't worry about it, it won't be a big deal. [:

I felt the same way you did.

Answer 20

We never took showers in gym.  I always had deodorant so that I could freshen up.  If you do have to shower I'm sure there will be private stalls.

Answer 21

U HAVE SHOWER STALLS GUYS R ONE BIG ONE

Answer 22

I think you should! Not becuz I'm a pervert but it is better than just putting deo. ontop of sweat!

Answer 23

the shower in the high school is one big room and the only time you might take a quick shower is after swiming even than no one takes one  

Answer 24

even if you do have to take them there are ways to get out of it if the teachers check and make sure you did. leave your undies on and and pull down you straps then wet your hair some and wipe water on you arms and the teacher will think you took a shower and you keep you dignity! not all schools do that though.
