Why Locker Rooms Scare Me to Death

In school, almost everyone takes this little subject called Physical Education. Because we sweat and because it makes us get off our lazy bums, most of us also dread it. With a passion. In fact, I myself failed P.E. quite a few times just because I cut class too much. And why would I want to cut, besides the perfectly valid reasons already mentioned? The Locker Rooms. They terrify me. To. Death. Here's why:

I am Prude

I was raised a prude, I am a prude, and I will probably forever remain a prude. Maybe it's just me, but I don't really feel comfortable in a room of sweaty, undressed people. Not to mention that those sweaty semi-naked folks happen to be completely crammed into a small room which gives each of us approximately 9 inches of space to ourselves, making it almost impossible to undress without rubbing my own sweaty, sticky flesh against someone else's.

Teenage Girls Have Exchanged Numbers with the Devil:
Teenage girls can be evil children, we all know that. We are judgmental, bratty, and sometimes cruel. It's just awful being stuck in a room with about 30 of them at once, being judged on your half-naked body and forced into a game of "whose love handles are bigger than their boobs?"

I Want to Look, but I Can't:
This one applies to only me and a specific other few; I'm pansexual. And you might think that it'd be awesome to be surrounded by a bunch of semi-nude people who you happened to be attracted to, but lemme tell you—it's NOT. I want to kinda look and I know why I want to, but nobody else does. If they catch me looking, they just think I'm weird, and I look away, and it'll be the Epitome of Awkwardness. Not fun.

And if you are one of those special girls who is totally okay with changing your bra in the locker room, I've got one thing to say to you–you've got balls. But not literally.

What freaks you out about locker rooms?
