gym class!

febuary 1 i start gym in school. i found out today that the teacher weighs and also measures you. i herd kids talking about losing inchs. you think thats great? well now i want to drop it because i am too embaressed about my weight vs my height. out of all the kids in my gym class i am the biggest and have the highest body fat? HELP

dont worry about it. they dont pay much attention to you-believe me.

why don't you try talking to the teacher? if you don't know where the teacher is or who they are, get your principal and explain the situation. if it will make you feel uncomfortable, you shouldn't be forced to do it. and if you do want to do it, but not in front of the whole class, just ask to be measured and weighed privately.

definitely don't drop the course because of it. gym is a great way for you to get exercise. :)

well this is my opinion but you shuouldn't feel ashamed about your weight. if your school is like mine, then you will not be the only one feeling uncomfortable or ashamed.hope that helps!

i start gym class feb 4th and i cant wait iv never heard of the teacher taking measurments though

I don't blame you for being upset. I wouldn't have let them measure me in highschool. I wouldn't let anyone but a doctor a personal trainer or myself measure me now, even though I'm not at all ashamed of my weight or size anymore.

I think you should probably talk to him/her about it. At least ask to be able to get measured privately, or ask if its ok if you just track it yourself at home.
