    There is open showers in my school. But we don't have to take one after PE.

    I have it last class anyway so I just go home and have one.

    You've been to every school in Ireland then have ya?! Just because there wasn't in yours doesn't mean it's the same in every school.

    We had them in ours but people didn't use them after p.e. Possibly after football games but not that often. Although camera phones weren't common/invented when i was in school

    I would presume boarding schools would have them though.

    Don't have any form of showers. I would kill for showers (its at the beginning of the day) :mad: but yeah I can completely see how it would cause huge problems

    Yes we had them also.

    I think it would be better if PE was the last class of the day the whole time, adleast you could go straight home after class to shower rather than feel sweaty and smelly because you're afraid to shower. Unfortunately there is too many classes and they would clash.

    Amusingly, I've been in places where there are no stalls or curtains around the toilet bowls. You just have four our five guys all sitting down taking care of business in full public view. (Of people in the restroom only, of course)

    Those showrooms can be confusing, it was only after we all finished that we found out none of it was even plumbed in. ;)

    Where the hell was that!!! Prison?

    We had open showers in my secondary but we weren't forced to use them after PE. it was optional. No one ever used the showers except for one girl. But camera phones didn't exist back then in the late 90's.

    in my school no one was allowed use the showers because of **** like this. until in 6th year we got them back, just for 6th years, used to be a handy way for one or two of the "mad Lads" to have a smoke and to get clean.

    never seen photos taken, more than likly the guy taking it would get slagged.

    but it was just 2 or 3 cutains a few shower heads, curtains can easily be pulled back for a photo. so its not exactly impossible

    Once in my school showers somebody stuck their hand through the curtain, cupped my balls, and demanded that I cough.

    We had open showers, but luckily, no camera phones. I never showered in school anyway because of the high risk of being wet-towel whipped.

    We had open showers too, rarely ever used em though cos our PE was last thing on a Friday, so we either didnt bother going at all and just mooched off home or went and I showered back at home.

    plus if you did get dressed in there you were guaranteed to be shoved into the shower fully clothed by someone "for the laugh", fool me once!

    Had open showers in my school too. Some folk used em but all wore shorts I think.

    I personally don't ''get'' open showers, I want privacy dammit!! I can't have a danger **** in an open shower, then again that would be the ultimate danger **** I suppose.

    Anyhoo, yeah, open showers are weird. Yes, showering is natural, being naked is natural, but so is sleeping naked, and I wouldn't do that with another dude, so why the fúck would I want to shower with other men?

    The secondary i went to didn't have showers! And triple PE on a friday morning was usually football, or running, or something else to make you sweat. So i used to have a sluice down at the sink in the loo's and i think i was the only one. 60 or so hormonal girls sweating away in kilts and jumpers(because you had to wear he full uniform no matter what the weather was like) made for some very smelly afternoon classes:(
    From 1st year they were collecting money to build a new wing with showers in it, i've left school 13 years now and they're still collecting and the new wing is yet to be built.....

    We had open showers that used to be freezing, no one ever took pictures though, although its not really an extreme level of bullying anyway I don't think, anyone having a shower was obviously comfortable enough in their own skin anyway
