In all of middle school and all of high school, I never once saw anybody using the school showers. It was like a carryover from a bygone era or something.
I remember it being a joke in the locker rooms. "I bet you want to go walk over there and take a shower right now, don't you, fairy?!" kind of stuff.

Tbh I never felt like I needed a locker at school either. Sure sometimes there'd be a day where my schedule was a bit heavier which made my backpack a bit heavier than usual, but it was manageable. Plus, I needed my school books and notebooks at home to study and do homework, so I don't think it'd be a good idea to leave them inside a school locker room anyway. |

I remember that being the rumor that never stopped paying dividends throughout classmates. "Dude, I went in the locker room and Derek was in there naked and showering!!" "Nuh-uh!" And then they'd confront Derek, "No I didn't! Really, I swear I wasn't in there showering, that's a lie!" Etc..

Ofc we had a few more gymnastics classes such as jumping on the trampoline and such but mostly just playing soccer os basketball. From 9th to 12th grade i had more female P.E. teachers instead of male ones and they made us play less sports and do more boring crap such as dancing(yes, serious). I learned a few tango steps in my 10th grade P.E. class. Really absurd. I forgot about all of it already by now, ofc. |

My school didn't have showers. When I was a sophomore though, there was a guy in my grade who transferred to my school from another. He was also in my gym class that year, and he talked about how you were required to take a shower after gym in his old school.

I never felt I needed a locker at school either for the same reason. I also thought I might be an easy target to be pushed from behind while using one. Also, I was paranoid that I wouldn’t get my books out of the locker in time before the teacher came. Lockers were in the hall rather than in their own room. They were useful sometimes for storing stuff before going on school trips, though.

In short:
1st-5th grade, it was like most of my classmates actively ignored me. Not so much active bullying, just dismissing me. I still had friends it's just that I remember the dismissal of me more. 6th-9th grade, it was weird. There was some active ripping on me but the harshest came from the ones I would consider my closest friends at the time. "High School" (not quite the same as American high school but roughly the same grades), I got along quite well with my classmates, generally nice people. Mostly the same kind of dorks like me in that class. Right now I'm studying at University but that's quite different, everyone is an adult above 20 and most are like 25-30 years old with a few being over 30. So it's not like we're expected to care about school on a social level anymore. |

What's actually the difference between College and University in America? Or are they the same thing and the two terms are just used interchangeably? For us, College is further education (usually one or two year courses) and University is higher education (people studying degrees for three or four years)
