Score locker room body confidence

 

Check these out, too...

  • Tell us what YOU think: How do you boost your body confidence?

  • Why is my tummy so rumbly?
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!

MOD
This year I'm going into highschool. I'll be changing in a locker room for the 1st time. What's it like? What should I do when I'm on my period? since I wear pads.




Hey babe! At my high school we got to choose the gym lockers we wanted so I got one near all my friends. That helped a lot, since I know they love me know matter what I look like under my clothes. It's really not that bad though. Everyone is changing at the same time so they're all worried about dressing themselves more than looking at everyone else. Plus, there's always that one girl who is so self-confident that she has no problem stripping the frist day, it's still kind of awkward though (the first day). Every girl has her period, so all the other girls totally get it if you're wearing a pad. Honestly, no one even notices. We were all too busy trying to change to see what anyone else was doing. And by the end of the year we were all showing each other our cute bras. I remember in middle school changing around the other girls and the only thing that was ever noticed was who was shaving their legs already and where everyone bought those super cute jeans, no joke. I promise, there's nothing to worry about. Good luck and don't sweat it! xoxo
