Score locker room body confidence

I’m scared about the locker room in sixth grade! I am smaller than all my friends and I’m kind of flat chested. I’m worried that I will be smaller than all of the other girls. Any tips?

 

In a locker room, it’s easy to start comparing bodies, but you just have to stop! Everyone’s unique and we all have great qualities, so why dwell on the negative things? It’ll only get you down. Try focusing on the amazing things that you love about yourself, like your amazing math skills, athletic ability or outgoing personality. You could even make a list of all those great qualities and tape it to your mirror. Anytime you’re feeling insecure, just take some time to look back at it, and you’ll soon realize that you’ve got a lot more going for you than you might think!

 

You may not realize it, but even the most confident-looking girls still get insecure sometimes. Nobody’s perfect, and we all have things we envy about one another. The important thing is to accept yourself for who you are, and keep your confidence up. If you feel confident, you’ll be confident—it’s as easy as that!

I'm in a tough sitch. I have gym next quarter and I am stressing because i don't have a sports bra yet and we all change together in the locker room. Would it be weird if I went to the bathroom to change? I have bigger breasts than most girls in my grade and i feel weird when they look at me. Also, I don't have any experience with the gym lockers. How do I handle them? If u can help me please leave some tips for me on my profile. Thanks so much!

 

Hey girl! I happened to see your question so I'm hoping I can give you some answers. I'm a mod, someone who girls ask for help by starting their comments with "mod mod mod mod!!" you may have seen that before Smile

If I were you, I would purchase a bra/sports bra. It will give you the support you need in P.E. and give you the confidence to change in the locker room comfortably! There's nothing wrong with going to the bathroom to change, but remember that you're not the only girl with body insecurities. Everyone will be so worried about themselves, they won't even think to look at you!

xoxo

Oh well I'm actually embarrassed because I think I have the biggest chest in my class. But I'm not fat it's just that the genes that come from my grandma and ancestors.

MOD MOD MOD!!! I'm going into 7th grade at a new school and we have to change in locker rooms for gym EVERY SINGLE DAY. I've never had to do that before in my life, and I'm really worried about other girls seeing that I wear a bra and stuff. Worse, I barely know any of the girls so they're not like my friends who know me and my body well. How can I change without being super-nervous? I've always thought I was too overweight so what if the girls make a comment on my weight or my body? Please help.




Everyone is probably just as nervous as you are--take a deep breath, relax and change. You'll be outta there in no time and you'll see that it's not that bad Smile

I'm kinda worried. i got my first period in the beginning of August, so it should be starting up again. i'm going into 7th grade, and we have to change with 7th AND 8th graders in the locker room. Would it be bad to change in one of the bathroom stalls? And, i get really really REALLY moody and cranky when i have my period. How can I be careful to not get in trouble when its my time of month? If you have any tips for me please comment on my profile!
