After swimming our gym teacher stands inside the door (between the girls shower area and the pool) and makes us rinse off with our suits off. She is a real b*tch about it. I really hate this because 1 we could shower with our suits ON and I don't think anything would be hurt. and 2 there is no one making the boys do this (it's a mixed gender class but the teacher is a woman and can't go in their locker room obviously). Is she in her rights to enforce this? It's a 9th grade class also, we aren't little kids.

Talk to your mom and maybe see if you guys can speak to your principal about it. Just tell them you feel uncomfortable showering in a group and would like to do it in your suit or privately. I think your teacher should let you guys have the option. But when I was in Volleyball we all had to shower together. I guess they just think it is part of high school.

Most likely your teacher hates this as much as you, hence her aggressive attitude.
I was once a HS teacher and got assigned to locker room/shower duty. It was the worst. Someone has to be there becuase not only do accidents happen in the shower room, but there can also be violence. If the teacher is not staring , making inappropriate comments about your bodies or touching you there is no harrassment, she is simply there to make sure you all take your shower in a safety.
My advice is, just take your shower. Shower quickly and get out. If it really is a problem for you to shower in front of other people, have your mother or doctor write a note excusing you from the shower. I am sure the school will not care.
But don't blame the teacher. She was assigned to shower duty and, most likely, is doing the least enjoyable part of her job. None of us became teachers to babysit 9th graders in the bathroom - sadly with all the violence in schools, we are often assigned to do it.

Perhaps you and one or two other girls could report this behaviour to the school Principal saying that it makes you feel uncomfortable and that you don't like her watching. If the Principal won't do anything about it tell him/her that you are going to the police with a statement signed by all the girls in the class confirming what is going on and let them decide what action is appropriate.

if you don't like this, report it to your parents or your principal, they should do something about this. And if you have to take your bathing suits off, then it's real easy for a guy to sneak in and have a peek at all the girls in the nude, which i have no doubt will happen later in the year

Cry sexual harrassment. She'll back off. Tell your parents, your pervert teacher is forcing you all to take your clothes off and she's getting her perverted pedophilic lesbian jollies off watching girls shower.
You'll get a lot of attention that way, and she'll never shower again herself.

Another reason kids shouldn't have to swim in school

Quite honestly, I would find it absurd that you would be FORCED to this. . .Perhaps this would be against some type of privacy law (hey, there is a law for anything)
Talk to your parents. . or talk to your principal. . .if he/she doesn't listen. . .may your parents suggest a lawyer?

if it's all girls, and the teacher is female, then I don't see a problem with this at all. And, that IS the point, you are mature and there should be no problem with it because you are mature.
