I heard the same thing but we didn`t really have to. And the showers for high school at my school and curtains and walls so there`s no privacy issue. But if your school is different and you do see other girl`s bodies, just build up your confidence and know that the other girls are probably just as anxious as you are. If you really are nervous then bring your bathing suit or an extra bra and underwear and change those clothes too! That`s what I`d do!

endilwen answered Thursday July 22 2004, 1:08 pm: You never have to do anything you don't want to do. Throughout my entire school life I never had to shower in front of anyone. Don't worry about it - they can't MAKE you do it! [ endilwen's advice column | Ask endilwen A Question ]
girdy_goo15 answered Thursday July 22 2004, 5:31 am: dear this sounds,
many girls go thro that. just take a deep breath before you go to shower. remember that the girls have the same things you do. so don't be nervous. good luck

rainbowcherrie answered Thursday July 22 2004, 4:31 am: well all of you will have the same parts and things so there's nothing to be afraid of. If it's that much of an issue, close your eyes :) all the other girls will probably feel the same so please don't worry. [ rainbowcherrie's advice column | Ask rainbowcherrie A Question ]
Mackenzie answered Thursday July 22 2004, 3:09 am: It varies from school to school. Personally, the GUYS in my school HAD to shower. If they neglected to shower 3 times they failed the class automatically. However, the GIRLS DID NOT have to shower. They could if they wanted to, but they DID NOT have to!! I think it's because the girls have that time of the month when it's very embarrassing to shower around others, and boys don't.. if you get my drift there. Also, I don't know where people are getting this curtain/stall thing. My school DOES NOT have that. They should though!!! I'm sorrie I can't give you a definite answer, I'm just unaware of the way your school runs. Just ask anyone who goes/went there. They'll tell you. I hope things work out! Keep your head up and stay beautiful! =D [ Mackenzie's advice column | Ask Mackenzie A Question ]
BlueEyedBlondie725 answered Thursday July 22 2004, 2:02 am: NO NO NO! You don't have to shower in front of girls. They have curtains now and you can take a shower in your swimsuit if you want. So, its okay, no worries!
xo_dream answered Thursday July 22 2004, 12:58 am: At our school, you don't have to unless it's during swimming in gym class, and then we all wear our swim suits, so it's no big deal. If you have to shower during regular gym, bring a bathing suit [[ and if the floors are grungy looking, some flip flops :o) ]], and it'll be fine, cause nobody really looks at each other anyways.

Lizzy answered Thursday July 22 2004, 12:56 am: Don't be scared to shower in front of everyone. There will be other girls thinking the same exact thing, and really not wanting to be there. You won't be the only one scared, you got your entire class that is scared too. I'm going into ninth grade too and i don't want thirty girls seeing me naked, but remember, don't be scared of them, be scared with them

footballchicka06 answered Thursday July 22 2004, 12:38 am: you don't have to shower infront of girls unless you are in a sport. but then I don't think you need to. and plus its not a big deal they don't look at you. they don't watn to see you as much as you don't want to see you. good luck

dreamaway answered Thursday July 22 2004, 12:36 am: Well, let me tell you this, it's illegal to MAKE somebody get naked in front of people. I mean sure, they encourage you to take showers, but they can't MAKE you do anything. [ dreamaway's advice column | Ask dreamaway A Question ]
Sagittarius03 answered Thursday July 22 2004, 12:32 am: some schools have one big shower and for the ppl more conservative, they have little stalls on the side for 1. idk if your school has that. i know mine does. dont worry about it. whats there to hide? you are all women.
