Is your school uniform wet? Ask in the office for a garbage or plastic shopping bag and tie it up tight ...put in your locker. You can also try to rinse it all in the bathroom. At home you can put the bag or backpack in the washing machine and wash the clothes. Its okay and just say the truth - my clothes are what smell.

Dearest Miswimmy,
Seems I am in the same position I was last I posted on your wall. Oh well, a true "sister" helps another "sister" without thought of her own predicament. Dryer Sheets....Carry them everywhere. Removes any smell from clothing, cars, lockers, closets. gym bags. whatever...rub one on your clothing, also takes static out of your hair. Amazing little things. They are a girls best accessory. Good luck. -Fleeing Bellocq |

ok its gotten better. it was slightly damp this morning and now that it is drying out, the smell is dissapating. hopefully it will continue to do so. UGH! not doing that again... *smacks forehead* remember to take meds and unpack swim back!

Oh I misunderstood and thought you weren't wearing them. Can you call a parent and go home early? If not, just be honest and say you didn't realize it was affected by the wet suit and water. I understand some young people have no manners and embarrass others. Hope this days ends soon for you and wash it all with the bag when you get home. Does the washroom have one of those hot dryers for hands - maybe stand under it.
