<p>For those of you in sports (hs), boarding schools, and then after that college, how open are people? DO most people try to be modest. In our high school we used to have communal showers so it was sort of forced but now they don't make us. So in hs and boarding school do people have a problem with being naked in front of peers? If so why? ANd then to college-do people care at all? Is it normal to change, shower in front of people without clothes. What about coed floors? I was just sort of wondering how people felt and what it's like in different situations.</p>
<p>good question... I go to an all girl's summer camp every summer and we're all pretty open...haha, I know what you're all thinking, but it's not like that. But it's a pain to have to lock yourself in the bathroom to change your shirt. Honestly, if you're mature enough to be away from home, comfortable with your body, and well adjusted socially, what's wrong with changing in front of people?
But not everyone feels that way, and I'd hate to make someone feel uncomfortable by stripping down in front of them!</p>
<p>I don't really have a problem with people doing it in front of me but I just don't feel comfortable doing it in front of other people. Even my family (especially my family?)
I just think I look a whole lot better with my clothes on than off.</p>
<p>Haha, yeah mallomar, agreed. For some reason I would rather be totally nude in front of a stranger than shirtless in front of a member of my family. weird.
And we ALL look better clothed...that's just life (unless you're a supermodel, in that case, shut up)</p>
<p>for sports at my HS...</p>
<p>We're pretty laid-back. Then again, the sports I'm in are generally laid back as is (cross-country running and cross-country skiing). We don't shower in front of each other, but we shower naked w/ closed curtains, etc. when other folks are around.</p>
<p>For practice the girls run around in sports bras and wifebeaters. The guys usually go shirtless. That's, of course, for running. In skiing the guys'll sometimes ski with their shirts off when it's above freezing. The girls just laugh and leave their clothes (at least a t-shirt).</p>
<p>On buses (in both sports) we usually wear at least shorts and tanktops (except the guys sometimes), but one time the bus was super hot and everyone took off as much clothing as possible. No one really cares.</p>
<p>Practices/bus rides/meets are all co-ed. I have no experience with college stuff.</p>
<p>I'd be okay with stripping down in locker rooms and suck if none of my family were around and no children were around. I don't care if people are naked around me whenever.</p>
<p>I'm okay with skinny dipping too. :D</p>
<p>yay, me.duh is (as of 9:06) a senior member</p>
<p>Oh wow, I didn't even notice...I like how I used my special 1000th post talking about nudity. :D It makes me proud.</p>
<p>actually, i don't think that was your 1000th post...</p>
<p>death by cafe?</p>
<p>ohh, yeah, i forgot that cafe doesn't count</p>
<p>hence my "low" post count</p>
<p>i remember when you were beating me...</p>
<p>good times, good times</p>
<p>back in the Easter days</p>
<p>in the name of our beloved father in heaven...</p>
<p>was that right? or was it a little off?</p>
<p>the good old days, i do somewhat miss them</p>
<p>The High School Life days.</p>
<p>I had more posts, but you beat me in continents.</p>
<p>Was that amusing for anyone other than myself?</p>
<p>You still beat me in # of posts per day.</p>
<p>yaay (hmm, even with my three week hiatus?)</p>
<p>and I thought I was cutting back...</p>
<p>haha, I just saw your "occupation" on your profile</p>
<p>I just looked up the word: eugenicist on dictionary.com and this was the definition:</p>
<ol>
<li>a specialist in eugenics.<br></li>
<li>an advocate of eugenic measures.<br></li>
</ol>
<p>now can someone tell me what it means :)</p>
<p>'Tisn't a happy occupation.</p>
<p>Eugenics is the science of making certain "lesser" races extinct through careful intermarriage (dilution) and genocide (annihilation). Blacks, Jews, Aborigines...</p>

Online dictionaries don't suck, you suck because you were smart enough to search for "eugenicist" and not smart enough to search for "eugenics" after seeing that definition.</p>
