I'm curious what you guys thought of P.E. when you were in school. I myself could not stand it. I would find ANY reason to either skip (by saying I was sick or coming in to school late), or playing games as little as I could. I'll never forget this one time when we were playing Basketball.. I think I was probably in about 6th grade at the time, and I FINALLY made a basket. Sad thing was, it was in the wrong hoop. I also remember playing football in high school and I would freak out whenever the ball came my way. If I caught it, which didn't happen often, I would throw it to someone else as soon as I could.

I'll never forget, towards the end of the year during high school, we could run for 30 minutes and that would give us a certain amount of extra credit. Well, I can't remember how far I ran, but I was determined to fix my grade, so I ran the entire class. I think I ran for over an hour if I'm correct. I think it's funny that I could have skipped 24/7 and then made it up with the extra credit. Too bad I didn't know that ahead of time lol

I was the same way - hated PE and used any excuse I could find to get out, including trying to obtain medical restrictions from my doctor. Basketball was a nightmare. I was tall, so I was often forced to play, and there wasn't much explaining done as to how. I was supposed to figure it out on my own, I guess. I hated that thing.

I always hated how the other kids would take it so seriously and get upset with me because I wasn't doing a good job. It made me feel really insecure. I remember I would cry all the time before going. I liked school to a point, but then hated dealing with all the mean, judgmental kids. People can be so heartless sometimes.

In 10th grade, I went to see my vice-principal and told him that I was getting horrible cramps and headaches and that I couldn't participate in PE. He said I didn't have a choice, so I simply responded that he couldn't force me. He ended up excusing me for the whole year under the condition that I stay in the library to do my homework and assignments. I couldn't have asked for better

Lucky!!! I wish I could have done that!! My mom didn't care.. she would call the school to excuse me from class. In high school, I got really gutsy and would call and pretend to be her all the time.

P.E really makes me sick. Especially if the time is so not appropriate to do some sprints and jogs. I can remember my HS days where I had to do some push ups that was one hell of an afternoon. I can't stand those routines I'm not a boy to be doing such push ups cuz my muscles are too weak to push me upwards.
