I don't enjoy wearing clothing to begin with, and I don't even see a reason as to wear underwear if I'm covered.I'm in high school, and I want to know the dangers of not wearing underwear (if there are any!).I understand that yeah, MAYBE it will be hard to hide an erection if I get one, but I can work around that. I keep very clean, and Don't have a physical education class anymore, so I don't want to wear anything anymore.Any advice or something I should worry about?

If you REALLY want to then i suppose it's fine, but let's say just for an example I'm a girl that you like and you ask me out on a date. Then SOMEHOW I find out you don't wear underwear I'm gonna be grossed out! I don't want to sound rude but seriously.
As much as I don't want to say this, but the one time me and my mom heard my dad say that he doesn't wear underwear at day, it was just a habit for a short while but still! We were so shocked, and I was just sitting there like WHAT! EWE!
Underwear were made for a reason! It's ok to sleep nude in bed but at daytime pls remember to wear them! Sorry but it's the truth...

 Check your school dress code.
I used to go commando all the time in jeans (never in skirts or shorts) it was just more comfortable. Not sure the same goes for boys though... Different anatomy.
If you keep the area dry, clean and change pants often you may NOT get tinea cruris (also called crotch rot). Here is a little outtake for you on that subject..:
Opportunistic infections (infections that are caused by a diminished immune system) are frequent. Fungus from an athlete's foot infection can spread to the groin through clothing. Tight, restrictive clothing, such as jockstraps, tight jeans, traps heat and moisture, providing an ideal environment for the fungus.
Then we go into accidental exposure, for which you CAN land in legal trouble, all depending on what state you live in and the rules of the school. Considering how common is IT for guys and gals to occasionally forgetting to zip up... well for a woman it's not considered indecent exposure, for a guy IT IS. And trust me on this one ... NO GIRL wants to see a class-mate's or stranger's ding-ding just hanging there...
And then of course there is the general hygiene issue of guys.. who shake Mr. Happy dry after peeing, but that doesn't mean it's all the way dry leaving you with a wet spot on your crotch... not very um delectable.... With underwear that would get soaked up and NOT show through the pants. Think wet farts too.. eww..
OK last reason why TO wear them... well, imagine going shopping for pants. WOULD you want to try on a pair of pants some other noob tried on with his dingle dangle not covered by underwear?
I'd say while in school wear underwear. In your free time, do as you please.

Depending on your local climate and how you wear your trousers.. hanging low or belted around the waist etc., that area is quite sensitive. Maybe women are more susceptible to bladder infections etc., but after having had a chill in my kidneys before, I always make sure that I wear decent warm underwear in the winter, including warm vests and other undergarments. We get cold winters where I live though.The other thing about smell is a really good point. I sat in front of someone the other day in the bus, a young woman in jeans sitting with her legs wide open, slouching in the seat and as I sat down I could smell her vagina. I was shocked that I could actually smell dirty vagina. And poop as well, as if she had pooped and just not washed afterwards. I had to move seats. Also be aware that if you release seminal fluid during the day, this will wet your trousers if you're not wearing underwear. So you will have to make sure you wash extra well and change your trousers every day.

 No risks except for zippers and possible smell as mentioned. Oh, and hope your wear nicely fitted jeans so they don't start dropping when you walk and everyone can see your ass crack.
May I suggest you try some other forms of underwear instead, that are more comfortable? Example go up a size in boxers, or buy loose boxers, and not the tight ones?

 SVC one of the boys at when I was at school did that too, from what he said years later, it is something you only ever do ONCE, then you learn your lesson!
I am glad to be a girl! :)

 if you change your jeans every day sure go for it.
just be careful zipping up... it would be bad to have to go to the school nurse because you zipped your penis into your fly like my brother did when he was a kid.

Underwear is actually quite important.
It helps keep your private areas clean and hygienic - like it or not it is an area that produces sweat and other bodily secretions. The fabric of underwear helps absorb this, keeping you a little fresher during the day. and as Cindycares points out they should be changed daily.
If you dont wear them - all that goes into your trousers, which will then start to smell and other people WILL notice. Men can be very pungent at times, and that strong smell is not nice.
Then there is the issue of chafing..... underwear keeps all your bits nicely contained and not rubbing in the wrong places.
As a woman, I would also find this a bit offputting in a man.
BUT, ultimately it is your choice, and many men do "go commando".

 It depends- would you be washing / changing your jeans or trousers every day , same as ( hopefully ) you do with your boxers ?
The Italian word for underwear is " mutande ". It comes from Latin " mutandae " , which literally means :
( things ) which must be changed.
The idea with underwear is that it needs to be changed OFTEN because , even with the best possible , most scrupolous personal hygiene , after a while it will catch the scent of your crotch , which obviously may be offensive to people around you.
So, if you plan to go commando AND keep the same jeans on for days at a time, ...please don't. Have some mercy.
If instead you wil be changing your pants at least every day , then I don't know of any harm that may come to you ( or to other people ) from being underwear-free.
Except perhaps the danger of getting your pubic hair caught in your zipper when you get dressed ?.... Ouch ! That must be painful !

Other than that, if you are hit by a car and carried to the hospital , the doctors will find out that you are not wearing underwear.
