ok so at my highschool we got a pool and have to go swimming. the problem is i dont feel comfrontable taking off ALL my clothes to wear my bathing suit infront of everyone.. they think just because we are all girls and have the same body parents that it is ok but i personaly dont think that is right.. and another thing is we cant use the "girl problem" to stop us from swimming" but i have NEVER used a tampon and i have heared from my friends that the doctor has told them it is bad for you and can mess up soemthing down there?? what can i do??

p.s

i dont start PE until next term

Well that really stinks! You can't get past what you have to do... I guess you'll have to go swimming. That really stinks too!! But, you'll have to work with the situation at hand. If your uncomfortable in a bathing suit, try shaping up a little bit, if that's the problem. Maybe drop a few pounds, you'll have more self-confidence in bathing suits, and feel motivated about yourself. It's perfectly healthy to use tampons when you swim, and you're going to have to learn some time!! Trust me... tons of people do it. It's perfectly fine, just practice before hand, and if you need help ask someone older or experienced for advice! You have time in advance, so make sure you work on this and don't procrastinate.
