School Sport : Uncomfortable About Sport and Exercise at School

Some people are particularly uncomfortable about sport and exercise at school. If that's the case for you, try these steps to resolve the problem:

• Talk to the teacher concerned on the quiet, if you can, and explain what's bothering you. Teachers are there to encourage you into doing more than you think you can. If you really can't, then say so.
• If a particular sport or activity is a nightmare, ask if there's something else you could do instead. Come up with some suggestions so it's clear you're being helpful rather than just trying to get out of it.
• If you're worried about what you look like, talk to your teacher. Ask if it's possible to wear tracksuit bottoms or baggy clothing if you're worried about your weight, for example.
• If periods are a problem, talk to the teacher (or a female teacher if your PE teacher is male). Exercise often helps with period pain once you start, but if they're particularly bad, ask to sit out.
