don’t swim see if u can do somethin else instead about the splittin up part at least where i’ma t we had 8 classes 45 minutes each with 20 minuts lunch and a break. it really is luck if u get in the same classes u might and u might not. its actually kinda better not to have alot of friends in the class cause u will get distracted and do poorly. and i was the same way changing i changed in the bathroom and our locker room and stalls in it so i changed there

ok to answer ur question if u dont wanna swim in front of a bunch of guys maybe instead of joining ur schools swim team join the YMCA’s swim team or play a different sport. well i wouldnt kno about going 2 a new school and friends splitting up bcuz im in 8th grade right now and ive gone 2 the same school my whole life (bcuz i go 2 private school) but next year i go 2 hi school and im afraid of the same thing u are! what i’d say is make sure u and ur friends make this special promise that u’ll call each other every so often and just say every saturday all of u hav a sleepover or go shopping or to the movies together and even if u dont hav same classes u can still sit together at lunch = )

ok and for p.e. i dont like changing in front of other people so u can either change in the bathroom area of the locker room where u can shut the door or there should be showers in there and u can just change in that area..thats what a couple of girls do at my school = )

hope this helped and good luck next year!

Well, it’s honestly not that bad. I’m going into High School this year. (9th Grade)

We don’t have a pool, so I cannot answer you on that one. We did go on 2 trips in Middle School where there were pools. (It was our grade only). If you just hang out with friends there, then honestly, nobody will really care or say anything, as long as you aren’t obese.

Changing infront of girls isn’t that bad. Well I won’t actually speak for you, coming from a guy. But we didn’t stare at each other in just boxers. But you were allowed to change in a bathroom stall if you wanted to. It wasn’t really that big of a deal, honestly.

It’s not as bad as you are making it sound. But friends..yeah..they will go different paths, whether it be in sports or music..and make new friends. But I still kept in touch with them.

Now, what you have to worry about is friends becoming obsessive with girl/boy-friends. Then, they will split with you. The way I see it, it’s a middle school relationship, so who cares if you don’t sit next to them at lunch or in classes and stuff like that.

Good Luck. It’s a lot better than you make it sound. I enjoyed my 7th and 8th grade year in Middle School.

don’t be scared. i had to take swimming in elementary, and it’s really not that bad. go into a stall and change if you want. if not, just wrap a towel around yourself and get dressed. yes, your friends may split up, but your true ones will stick with you, trust me. swimming in front of guys isn’t that big of a deal. some of the guys may turn into your best friends, i know they did for me. the guys were a lot easier for me to talk to than my girls sometimes, and they always knew when something was wrong, and they helped me through a lot. just relax. =]

alright well first of all, they’re just girls, you all have the same body parts, just different sizes. but if it really makes you that freaked out, just change in the bathroom or something but make it smooth…be like “well i really gotta pee, might as well take my clothes with me and kill two birds with one stone.” (that was stupid i know, but only an example.) and by the way…i’m sure you’re not the ONLY girl afraid to change in front of the other girls. so try not to stress it too much!! secondly boys are probably just as scared to swim in front of the girls!! and last : hate to break it to you, but friends change, and although you and your friends will vow now to not change, THEY WILL, eventually. but if they’re your real friends you’ll find a way back to each other. me and my friends broke apart, but we still hang out, we just hang out with other people too. it’s ok to have options, and not hang out with the same 4 girls (or however many you’ve got) every weekend, because then whether you want to or not you WILL get SICK of EACH OTHER! and that’s just the fact of the matter. well i hope this calms your nerves a little bit,,,good luck with middle school!!

if you don’t want to change infront of the other girls go in a shower stall or a bathroom stall. In my school we don’t have to swim but since you do just think that they probably don’t want to swim in front of girls either. Me and my friends weren’t split up but if you are make new ones and eat lunch with your old friends. if you want more help e-mail me.

well would you rather change in front of a buch of guys?

i think not. would you rather not change at all. if your that causious wear your uniform all day and not change at all. ull be fine you think its scary but its not . if you need any help email me or im me later . i might be able to help

dont worry about it,if your that uncomfortable changing,buysome new cute undies,and a cute bra, that way youllbe less self concious! and about the boys, i have noclue!!hope this helps!
