Don't worry about it -
Just do it - it's not only akward for you - but for the other 50 kids as well.

Dude, you remind me of myself... thats the way I was in 7th grade... I went to Gym class, after class was over, no one really took showers, so I would just spend the rest of the day smelly or just put some body spray and leave it in your locker, just spray yourself... then when you get home you can take a shower in the comfort of your own home.

I faked a bad knee... got a note from my doctor excusing me from gym... Later, I joined the school band. All that marching around was considered exercise, so band members were not required to take gym classes, and never had to deal with it.
You know what... I'm 54 years old, and I STILL hate going to gyms that have locker rooms and communal showers... I can't stand getting naked around a bunch of other people (well... I don't like getting naked with a bunch of men)

Don't worry about it. I felt the same way because I was starting football, but actually a lot of guys on my team shower with their shorts on, so you can do that if you want. That's what I do. Otherwise, everyone is doing the same thing so don't even worry about it.

Dude, if you do have to take showers, get a pair of shower shoes aka flip flops. Communal showers are a big source of athlete's foot. Wear them when you go to shower in the locker room.
Also, as someone previously mentioned, most guys are nervous about showering around other people. In my opinion, I would be worried about the guys who aren't nervous. ;)

well if your already this nervous about it i doubt youll get a woody plus its right after gym so your blood will be required else where. so dont worry about that. just get in the shower and rinse off. your teachers will thank you and so will the girl sitting next to you. and bring an extra pair of underwear so you can change those after your shower. just wear flip flops or something so you dont get athletes foot.

Hey. Honestly.. my guess is every other guy has the same thing in the back of his mind, also. You're normal!
Calm down, deep breathe.
Good luck!

In my junior high school we never had to take showers. Just be brave.
