She does have a point that it’s weird we make teens change clothes, get naked, and shower as a group.
Like, it would be less weird if they did it as children. But waiting until some kids start going thru puberty and then making everyone strip together while an inevitably creepy gym teacher watches with too much interest…
The whole thing is fucking weird.
Like, why can’t shower stalls include a changing stall?
Everyone’s happy, and nobody’s looking or being looked at
1980s 7th and 8th-grade showers were basically prison showers for us. Was terrified to have to get naked, but glad it happened.
Despite being a scrawny little fuck (still am), I learned I was packing heat vs. the popular preppies. Nothing to write home about, but I’ve never been insecure about my penis size.
Also got me over my fear of being seen naked. Now I don’t give a fuck. (Part of the IDGAF is middle age.)
Some of the high school showers I used were vertical pipes with shower heads pointing horizontally kind of spiraled up to the top. That way like 6 guys could share a shower area that would only be big enough for one guy. At my school we had normal (I guess) open showers with a showerhead and valve handle every 4 feet or so. With those verticle pipe ones just about the whole team could shower at once in the amount of space we used to shower 6 guys in our locker room. Very efficient?

Seems like a ridiculously easy problem to solve.
Private stalls for changing and showering should be mandatory and any student should have the eight to use them for any reason
Wait what!? Can someone else confirm that this happens over there? That sounds so fake. Surely you have stalls?
I can confirm I had no stalls through school
You know, some cultures are not ok with nudity like this. In those places, you give children the respect and privacy they deserve.
Y’all’s showers had stalls?

And people ask why I never play sports
We had mandatory gym class in the 80s. Showering was also mandatory.
