What was your worst memory of Physical Education at school?

Mine was being sent outside to play hockey in the pouring rain. Got soaked through to the skin 😔

mine was getting locked out of the school because the teacher wanted me to run more laps outside and went inside and didnt come back for me. I ended up getting back in through the front office.

@Girlyfriendcollecting Aw 😟 One of my friends was made to do punishment laps of the playing field and the teacher forgot about her when the lesson had finished and we all went back to the changing rooms. She was still running around the field when we were walking back home 😔

The worst memory for me was changing for PE. I was always very modest and didn’t like changing in front of the other boys in the locker room, so I changed in the bathroom stall for extra privacy. As I was changing, I saw someone reach under the stall and grab my t-shirt. This happened quite frequently until I had enough and told my parents who called the school and they put a stop to it. This happened when I was in the 7th grade.

Every less-developed junior high boy had the same nightmare: locker room shower.

I accidentally ran into another boy and hit him really hard in the chest. He laid on the ground making a horrific walrus like sound. I thought I killed him. They took him to the doctor. He had a collapsed lung.

I was playing catcher in baseball and I didn't have my mask on. The batter hit the ball and got so excited that he threw the bat and it hit me in the side of the head. I needed seven stitches underneath my left ear.

We had moved to a new Junior High, and I got turned around on the way to gym. I was late, and the class was already out on the field. That day we were supposed to run the 100 and the 600 yard dash. I ran outside and my foot landed wrong (sideways) on the very edge of the concrete stop leading outside. I knew my foot was broken.

I limped out to the field to tell the gym teacher, and she was just positive I was faking to get out of running. I couldn't believe that on top of breaking my foot she refused to believe me. I think I started crying, but can't really remember.

The gym teacher made me walk on my broken foot all the way back across the field and up an enormous set of stairs and down two hallways to the nurses office on the broken foot.

@SunshineGirl It really was. Teachers can be really stupid and nasty at times.
SunshineGirl · 36-40, F
@4meAndyou Especially when they do not listen to the children they are supposed to be looking after. Did you have a big cast afterwards to shame your teacher with?
4meAndyou · F
@SunshineGirl Yes, I had a walking cast. It wasn't until the teacher saw the cast that she realized I had been telling the truth. Then she did apologize...for automatically assuming I was lying. WHY she would assume that, I don't know.

@Pinkstarburst 😥 That's rotten.
@SunshineGirl Meh...such is life
SunshineGirl · 36-40, F
@Pinkstarburst Yes, and life is unfair 😔

Mine was being made to do cross-country running in freezing conditions, wearing nothing but tiny shorts and a t-shirts. Nowadays, children are not made to do such things.
SunshineGirl · 36-40, F
@pennynoodles We used to cross quite a busy road in order to run in a very dark and muddy woodland 😒
pennynoodles · 56-60, F
Me too. Sometimes we would run with cigarettes smuggled down our shorts. @SunshineGirl
SunshineGirl · 36-40, F
@pennynoodles Crafty!
Picklebobble2 · 56-60, M
ugh ! If you forgot your kit the masters used to make you do it in your underwear.

Wasn't a lot to recommend a 70's education.
pennynoodles · 56-60, F
I was just relieved we didn't have to wear those bottle green ones....@SunshineGirl
SunshineGirl · 36-40, F
@pennynoodles Gym knickers were horrible full stop. We wore them for indoor PE, which was just uncomfortable, and outside on cross country runs and athletics, which was downright embarrassing 😒
CookieLuvsBunny · 31-35, F
@pennynoodles @SunshineGirl We had to wear the bottle green gym knickers☹️
Jackaloftheazuresand · 26-30, M
My legs were so fatigued from the previous exercises I could not functionally skip. So as I tried in vain the teacher gave me this look and said, "Do you not know how to skip?" It was made worse because I was the last one out on the floor so it was all being viewed by everyone
SunshineGirl · 36-40, F
@Jackaloftheazuresand I sort of know the feeling. Being so tired that you cannot control your own limbs 😟
BrattyMel · 31-35, F
When I got in trouble for throwing a girl’s gym uniform in the trash. I didn’t get to go on a field trip the next day 😒
BrattyMel · 31-35, F
I didn’t like the girl @SunshineGirl
SunshineGirl · 36-40, F
@BrattyMel I guess you deserved the punishment 😟
BrattyMel · 31-35, F
@SunshineGirl 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️

The slap-happy PE teachers who [i][b]all[/b][/i] had a penchant for whacking their charges with a gymshoe. Sadistic bastards lol!
CrazyMusicLover · 31-35
Going through the corridor leading to the changing rooms and the gym, surrounded by random students who knew each other, only I was like a lost kid. One body pressing against another. Gross. A truly hideous dark place. The same about canteen. The feeling of being alone and abandoned in the whole world despite being squashed between the bodies of other kids waiting in the queue. I still have dreams about those places. 😒

@CrazyMusicLover class change was like that every day at the high school I went to, for the first year only...then they made it a 2-year school vs. 3 years and it eased up and we had more room for walking in the corridors
Fernie · F
I hated it! I wouldn't go... I had my period for 4 straight years!!!

In junior high, we had to play [b]flag[/b] football once. I was a pretty small kid. One of the girls slammed into me and knocked me down. I think that was the first time I got the wind knocked out of me, so there was the confusion as to why I couldn't breathe.

Being a little boy of grade 4 competing with grade 9 -10 students with strong built and pimply face. The school was a total nonsense and wanted to save cost doing combo events than by age group or grade.

Mr. Parish! He was one of those guys who sprayed when he talked loudly. He always talked loudly... Sitting in the front row was a splash zone, it was like getting a spit shower before hitting the locker room showers!!
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
Isn't it amazing how more uncomfortable you are clothed when wet then nude?
SunshineGirl · 36-40, F
@samueltyler2 yes, wet clothes are hideous 😞
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
@SunshineGirl So on an early morning the other day, in a warm, gentle mist, I walked outside nude and took in the delights of that. It was not uncomfortable at all, very wonderful, as if the world had stood still for the time I was outside, then the sun started to come up, I took a few selfies and went inside before anyone could catch me,

Not easy to pick just one, I was terrible at sport and each class was a nightmare
Adec757 · 51-55, M
I enjoyed p e, but dirty floors not great for doing indoor p e in bare feet.
Fernie · F
EVERY SINGLE MEMORY is the worst! I despised gym...I had my period for 5 straight years!

My only athletic skill that I developed, which was: Having the ball bounced off my face.

Ran into a football blocking sled while reaching for a long pass. Cut my lip really badly.

@IsthisitI hated the changing rooms. The law of the jungle ruled there 😟

SunshineGirl · 36-40, F
@cherokeepatti What was your uniform like?
cherokeepatti · 61-69, F
@SunshineGirl 7th grade baggy one piece blue cotton (short legs)
GkB01 · 51-55, M
Mine was trying to climb ropes or climbing frames for gymnastics or apparatus. Loved being in bare feet just really dreaded apparatus.
ThatDLguy · 36-40
which was the reason i chose to do sports so i didnt have to freaking do PE
QuixoticSoul · 41-45, M
Can’t think of anything that stands out really. PE was all right 🤷‍♂️
