    not really but you can use a triangular bandage and create a sling. that should keep it still and give time to heal

    Yes! You have three options. If you have an athletic trainer at school you can ask him/her to tape it for you. They'll know exactly what to do and how to help you. If not, you can buy a brace from any drug store. Just make sure that it is low profile and doesn't limit your movement. Your last option, is taping it yourself but your going to need another person's help because it is very difficult to do it all by yourself. Here's how:
    1) Using pre-wrap make a band around your upper arm right under your armpit, take it up across your chest and around your back, go under your armpit again then over your shoulder, and around your upper arm again. You can do this whole thing a few times to make it nice and secure. Tape it off.
    2) Go over the pre-wrap with neoprene (prefered) or athletic tape.
    3) Go over that with an Ace Bandage.

    Good luck with your shoulder! I dislocated mine in a horseback riding accident...not fun lol

    By the way...if it really does pop out that often, you might need surgery.
