High school gym class. How was it for you?

How did you survive high school gym class? Were you the fat kid? The coach's favorite? Was the coach an asshole? Did you ever hear of someone not being allowed to graduate because of a gym class?

(ah, memories...)

Update:

As for me, I am the fat kid, /and/ we have an asshole coach. You know that bar that sticks out from the wall that you're supposed to hold yourself up with your chin resting on the bar by your hands? Well, I'm also short and afraid of hights. This used to be optional on the little fitness sheets we fill out now and then to check progress, but today he decided to make it manditory and make a /show/ out of it. Another girl as fat as me tried to and didn't even last a whole second. I'm short and afraid of heights, too - he singled me out and I tried to walk over and explain I was afraid of hurting myself, but I didn't want people to see me cry so I ran into the bathroom. I've had to talk myself into going to that class every damn day. Sometimes I have to talk myself into going to school the day I have that class! I have about an 80/83 in that class right now, and I'm going to graduate(I hope)on the 24th...I'm so scared they won't let me graduate:( I'm a good student otherwise. **** gym..

    My gym teacher was so unfair, he would give all the girls who sucked up to him A's, they didn't even come to class. He let the football team smoke in his office, and I think he was dating one of the students. I also remember him picking this boy up and throwing him out the class room.(that was funny).

    Did I mention I got an F and had to take the class over.

    YES! MY boyfriend never went to gym as a senior and then he got held back a year for it! That totally sucks, but H.S. is a *****.

    Oh, I hated gym. But all the teachers liked me cause I was always there and always tried (I know, what a wimpy answer)

    i hated gym because i always had it right in the middle of the day. but i did have the football coach and i had gym in the fall so he would come take roll then take off to do football stuff we basically just sat around and flirted with the hot guys.

    Luckily my high school only required 2 years of gym, it wasn't fun, I've never been the atheletic type, but I made it through with A's somehow.

    OK....I'm a chubster, now. But, in high school I was one of those disgustingly athletic kids. lol Dang, how I wish I could still do the same stuff.

    It was awful and embarassing. I was about 1 year younger than all the other girls and I was the only one that wasn't developed. While they flashed their fancy bras I hid my undershirt. It sucked.

    Private schools don't have P.E. Or maybe it is my state that doesn't require it. Either way, congrats, you are healthier then me!

    I never had to go. I took marching band and it counted as P.E. credit.
