How to get out of gym class?? HELP!

[sammieesmile]

I'm seriously about sick and tired of having to do gym, and don't give me that crap about how it's good for you and how it'll help you in the long run.. I really don't care.. But there's only like a month and a half of school left so i really wanna get out of gym sooo bad... I can't drop the class now or I'll lose the credit and i don't know what else to do.. Everyday i go into gym and i change clothes and i feel so pathetic next to the other girls. and there's guys in there too they aren't cute whatever but i feel really insecure and i always change back clothes. I have participated once this semester on the physical part.. and i'm one point away from failing.. we get graded on by how well we do not if we do it or not. Someone give me a dang good excuse to get me out of this... Also, Every day before gym class i get this sick feeling and i feel so weak and i puke.. I only get this during gym.. I get it every single day..

Then talk to your mother and ask her to speak to your guidance Councillor
about wanting you to dress in the girls bathroom.

I do take it last period and they do not let you shower there plus the school  is like 1920's building so everythings almost broken lol. But it's mainly having to dress out infront of everyone in there no little place to go behind to change and you can not go do it in the restroom. At the end of class everyday i'm usually frustrated and so embarrassed that i just leave. and they seriously never notice. i mean it wouldn't bother me if we had privacy and did the class with only girls. but it just makes me so nervous.

I just wanted to say  when I was your age I felt exactly the same way. I hated gym and my friend suggested I take gym the last period because you didn't have to take a shower after class because you could go home and shower so that is what I did, excpet I went and played on the tennis team after. They never called me on it. It is ackward having others around and I never once showered in high school I left  and went home. I feel sorry for kids. So, is there any way you can switch to last period and say you will shower at home? There is no reason for this torture. If the doctors note works great. If not try taking it the last period and see if that does the trick. Do you also not want to do the exercises or is it mainly ackward dressing and/or showering in front of others? if it is the exercise too then try to go for the doctors letter.  I feel that this is a serious matter and not funny at all and I feel for you.

It's a complete absolute waste of time (my opinion - I can hear the protests), but I almost didn't graduate college because I lacked one gym credit! A doctor's note will get you out, but they still may want you to make it up during the summer. It has to do with the gym-teachers-protective-and-benevolent-association. More powerful in educational circles than the mafia.

Yeah but do you honestly think with the way i get dizzy and sick from having to just go and basically having anxiety will get me out of it?

The only way to get out of gym is with a doctors note!
