Gym

Well we all know that with school comes gym right? I have it for seventh period. We will start dressing after labor day. I am so not excited about it. The classes are huge this year and for some reason there is about twenty girls in just my class. That is not even attempting to count all the kids who are in the dance class and the Gym class that shares the gym with us. I am a heavy set girl and have had rude comments in the locker room before and I know it won't be the last time. Why? What makes people so rude that they have to attack someone when they are so completely vulnerable. Especially as a teenager. Our body images are out of whack, we are way too self aware, not to mention the fact that we have to get undressed around others. I personally think that gym is like the opposit of all those self-image build up classes. There will always be something that you can't do or can't look like. Being in a physical class like this is just another way of highlighting the weaknesses of others. I love playing some sports but I am awful at others. We are all like that. Also there will always be those stuck up chicks who put their noses in the air at anyone who is not an exact barbie mold like them. The snarky comments, the looks, the whispered conversations in the locker room. It is just not what we need at this age. They should have gym as an elective instead of a required class. If we don't want to run a mile every month or two that is up to us and who is the edication system to judge and grade us for not doing that? Gym is just a physical hell. No other words to describe it. Well that's all.
