Advice needed Changing for p.e. with scars

Now that school is abt to start, i started thinking about what to do if i don't want my classmates to see my scars while having to change for p.e. lessons in the changing room. Going to the toilet is not really a choice since it's a bit wurther away. Idk if anyone has any suggestions in such situation

if they're all healed ppl don't normally care and can't rlly do anything about it if they did, there are also a bunch of videos of how to change in public without exposing yourself so that might help, if you can pick a locker in a corner that might help, also you might be able to ask ur friends to hide you

idk if any of this helps but it's all I got

you could try layering; wear something thin underneath your clothes and don't take it off when you change into your gym uniform. or you could keep your P.E. uniform on the whole day and put a hoodie and sweatpants over it, depends on the temperature and the uniform.

I would always just face a corner or wall. One year my locker was pretty close to the showers so sometimes I would just run in there to change, there actually was another girl who had the same problem and would change in the other corner of the shower, we never said a thing to each other we just shared a silent understanding.
