When I was in high school there wasnt any time between changing after P.E. class and trying to get to your next one. You just jumped outta your workout clothes and into your school clothes and tried to do it in time for the next class.\nAlso, the showers in my high school had metal partitions around them making a circle so the girls on one side couldn't see each other unless you were at the front. Don't be self-conscious. Remember that every girl in that class with you is just as self-conscious as you are. Some conceal it better than others.Everyone feels the same awkwardness in high school. I remember feeling so confused and lost and thinking I was the only one. But please remember that you are not alone. Even the most popular girl in school feels ugly sometimes. I promise!You'll do fine. Right before the first day of school, you will have freshman orientation and you can tour every class and building and they will explain to you every procedure there will be in every class. If you do have to take showers, they will tell you then.But I highly doubt you will have to. If you do have to take showers, I promise everyone is going to be concentrating on how they look and making sure no one looks at them to bother judging you. High school is a blast! Enjoy it don't be afraid.

This is weird because as I was thinking of questions to ask, I actually thought of THIS one...strange!\n\n  Anyway, if I don't have a shower every day, I feel pretty gross, especially during certain times like the summer and "that time of the month." That's when I sometimes have two a day.\n\n  If I were you, I'd tell this person that it is custom to bathe about every day or so. At least every other day...JEEZ, dude!!!

No. Go naked. First impressions are important, right?

Its no big deal at all, but its a little scary until you do it for the first time.  \n\nBasically, the rule to remember is that the boys wont laugh at you for being naked, but they will laugh at you for being embarrassed about being naked.  They pick up on that.\n\nDon't try to hide yourself or wear swim shorts.  Guys that do, generally lose them (with help) at a really embarrassing time and then everybody laughs.  For that reason, not all schools even allow guys to shower with their swim suits on.  Stop and think about how stupid that looks.  In my school, we were forbidden from wearing shorts in the shower.\n\nJust go in, strip, then walk into the shower.  You usually don't stay in there all that long, just enough to get the sweat off.  Then you get a towel and go back and get dressed.  \n\nEven if you are scared to death, you can't show it.  Just pretend that you do this every day.  You'll be really sorry if the other guys find out you are scared.\n\nI was scared the first time really bad, but after a week or so, I was very comfortable being naked in front of the other guys.  I even streaked the gym, but there weren't that many people in there at the time.\n\nAfter you have been doing it for a few weeks, you'll feel like showering outdoors.  Seriously, it just is.\n\nOne other thing, you might have a tendency to go quickly into the shower and then get dressed as fast as possible.  The problem is that this shows that you are nervous and can get you into trouble.  You need to throttle yourself so that you don't appear nervous.\n====\nForget about crap like penis size and sh!t.  Nobody is going to comment about it and you'll see that pretty much all the guys are the same.  Contact me if you have any qustions.

I didn't do it in the bathroom but we did it in a classroom when I was in middle school. We were alone setting up for a hallway thing.

No, but it is of great benefit to the teachers.  Our self-contained severe/profound classroom has it's own adjoining bathroom, just like our kindergarten classes do.

Dudes at school make it a big deal because it is weird.  But if you're cool with it who cares?  I wouldn't expect any compliments in the locker room though.  And if you do get one... watch out.

it sounds like your school has a double standard, and they're sexist. Since it's on your property,and it's secluded, why can't you sunbathe topless - ESPECIALLY since you're going to be face down, and nobody will be able to see your breasts?\n\nAlso, if you were a man, they wouldn't be telling you that you can't take your top off on your property. So how can they tell you that you can't bare your breasts on your own land? \n\nMaybe you should contact a lawyer, and threaten to sue them.

OF COURSE! I have 3 young daughters....well teenagers...just use a tampon.it will not take your virginity either (another question I've been asked by one of my girls)After swimming make sure you change your tampon as soon as you can.This will help minimize getting an infection.  Peace!

Only if you start taking showers instead.

you should have a lock on your door especially if you change in your room.  No one should be able to walk in on you when u are naked.  I would talk to your parents and discuss it with them rationally.

That is gross. You are not supposed to pee in the shower. Did you ever learn proper hygiene?

The cheerleaders at my high school?  Good luck!  I just like the miniskirt part of the uniform...  Now, wait.  Isn't there a SHORT-sleeve version of that?  You want NO sleeve?  That would look weird...  I do remember seeing a short-sleeve uniform allowed for the private schools around here for warm weather.  I'm not sure if they are still required to wear a vest with that or something...  Didn't go to private school.

Getting erections and being gay are not related in any way. sure gay guys get them but so do straight guys. And teen guys in and after puberty are prone to getting them way more than they want to.\n\nFact is, at your age, erections will pop up most anytime and seemingly for no reason. Just the least thought of anythign remotely associated with yoru penis, sex, nudity, or what-have-you will bring the little guy to life and make him try to show off his stuff.\n\nSo, using the school locker room and showering with other guys is one place erections can happen; not because you arer gay but merely bacause you are thinking about nudity, the possibility of getting hard and the embarassment fo being seen with an erection so it happens.\n\nJust move yoru thoughts away from your nudity and that of the other guys to somethign more neutral like that school project due tomorrow or the pending test and use yoru mind to work through the material for it while you shower. \n\nAnd if an erection doe shappen, know tha ti tis perfectly normal, that all the guys get them and yes they may tease you a little bt don't take it personally; it is just the guys being guys. Oh, and if you do get hard, do not try to conceal it; that just draws attention to you and makes more people notice it. Instead carry on as if there's nothgin unusual (which there isn't) and it will go away. Also, if anyone teases you just laugh along with them and do not let them get under your skin; guys who tease will persist if they figure you are gonna get upset or all embarassed. Far better to joke right along with them and not give a hoot.
