Sweat, towel snapping and hair spray: the school locker room is an unavoidable chapter in the lives of teenagers. They are epicenters for awkwardness and happiness, loneliness and solidarity, in a time of many changes.

Today's generation has more options than ever for expressing their individual identity, but few speak of having a carefree attitude towards their bodies and open showers. "Stories from the shower" is a snapshot of teenagers’ experiences and reflections from the locker room.
