Increasing Self-Esteem - showers


Expert: Jurriaan Plesman, Nutritional Psychologist - 6/8/2009

Question
QUESTION: I'm 13 and my brother is 12 and we only have one bathroom. So before
school one of us brushes our teeth and the other a butt naked shower.
Sometimes we have to take fully naked showers together. Is this a bad thing
to do. Seeing my brother naked when I'm 13 and he's 12.

ANSWER: Hi jim,

I cannot see what the problem is. Why do you think it is bad to have a shower together? Why not ask your parents?

---------- FOLLOW-UP ----------

QUESTION: well I don't no I thought being naked and standing right next to my naked
brother was weird. I always found it weird talking to him in a 1 person shower
NAKED. Also if my back is really dirty or his we will clean each others backs.
This is not being gay or anything right. We are 12 and 13

Answer
If you really do not like sharing a shower with your brother, then you should discuss his with your parents and arrange to have separate showers. I myself came from a large family, but we never had to share showers, so I cannot speak from experience. Personally I value my privacy, and so I can sympathise with you.
