School for me is about 8 hours a day, and I bind for school. On Friday nights, I go out with some friends. Would it be alright if I binded then and during school? I would only be binding for about 3 extra hours? I heard that some people bind for 12 hours with little breaks in between, but is it safe?
As long as it is comfortable go ahead it is safe.
Hi and welcome to the site.
I am going to move your post to another spot that is specifically for discussions of FTM. They have a lot more knowledge about such things. I am transitioning in the opposite direction. I really don't know the answer.
I wanted to let you know that if you are in school yet, you might want to visit our Youth Talk section to share info with like aged people.
I am also adding some links we like to share with newly posting members. If you get a chance, you might tells us about yourself in the Introductions sub Introductions (https://www.susans.org/forums/index.php/board,8.0.html) or the Youth Talk; Introductions Youth Introductions (https://www.susans.org/forums/index.php/board,544.0.html)

A velcro binder can be worn looser or opened discreetly as needed and is probably your safest option. I wouldn't encourage binding for 12 hours, I'm saying this from a place of harm reduction.
If you are younger, I have read younger people are more susceptible to rib issues from binding. Don't overdo it.
