So I'm going to be starting highschool next year which requires a physical. What will they do? Will it be as horrible as I'm expecting and will it be embarrasing?

honey dont worry! physicals r simple......in fact they r much easier than goin to a dr for a check up......they will take ur height and weight and then they will check ur back for a curvature.....they will ask u some questions and take ur blood pressure........they will also most likely wanna check ur eyes and ears also......this will most likely be the extent of it...remember that they have how many students to see? so they wont have too much time to spend on u so dont worry!

I wouldn't worry about it too much. Basically they are going to take your height and weight, ask you some questions, check your hearing and sight, and basically make sure nothing is out of the ordinary.
If you are nervous I would strongly advise going to a female doctor. Personally it is more comfortable to talk about health issues with another man than an woman (I am a man).

you go to your regular doctor, s/he will check you like they do every year for your yearly check up if you go. if you dont get yearly check ups its not bad at all, they weigh you and measure you, check your breathing, your spine, its not bad at all they just want to make sure you can play a sport

Depends on your modesty level.
If you're clean and healthy it shouldn't be a problem.

It's not bad. Just turn to the left and cough.
