I was homeschooled previously with a small group of other children and we fart in class all the time.
Now I’m in public school for high school and no one is farting. I was very sheltered and public school is like a whole new world for me, so I don’t know what the norms are. I’ve been holding it in but my stomach hurts and it leaks out anyway.
I don’t understand how there are so many more people in high school and yet zero farts…

Go to the bathroom between passing periods and let one out.

Improve your diet, don’t drink carbonated drinks.

I can’t believe I’m having this interaction on Lemmy
Figure out if you are lactose intolerant and don’t have any milk or dairy products before going to school or during the day … have the cheese at the end of the school day.
Exercise and walk lots … not intensive just keep moving. The digestive system works better when the body is moving … the muscle movement especially your abdomen literally pumps and drives the digestive system.
The longer and more often you sit still, the more likely all that content will just sit and take longer to pass. The longer it sits, the more likely you’ll build up gas, more gas, more farting.
Or, figure out if you are lactose intolerant. And if you are? Fill yourself up with dairy and be a true menace.
Just don’t shit yourself. Otherwise, you’re just the weird guy who shits himself.
I didn’t know I was lactose intolerant for a long time. I used to have a carton of milk at morning break every day and release absolutely rancid SBDs afterward. One day was particularly impressive - the guy I had a crush on proclaimed it was so bad that if it had been his he would have named it.

It’s a myriad of issues.
- Farts are not considered to be socially acceptable, and thus one loses “social status” if one farts. So at an early age, you learn to hold it in. This has been going on since antiquity, as it is the source of the oldest humor seen via graffiti.
- You can get in trouble if you fart (I guess because of #1). I knew of a few times someone farted, and the teacher sent them out for punishment for “disrupting class.”
- People learn to fart silently, usually through experimentation and training to avoid item #1.
- People learn to fart silently, usually through experimentation and training to avoid item #1.
And then the blame game starts, like a game of hot potato of social standing.
“He who smelt it, dealt it”
But #3 would still smell bad and I haven’t smelled anyone farting.
Yes but it’s much more difficult to determine the source of said fart so unless someone figures out who done it the social statuses remain unaffected
If you need to fart very often, you may need to change your diet. Look up food that causes gas and try to watch your body after you eat it to find out what makes you fart and what’s ok.
Everyone does, they’re just quiet about it.
Your homeschool diet has a lot to do with it.
What do you think a homeschool diet is like? I’m imagining high in veggies, low meat, maybe organic… Maybe lots of beans.
It sounds like you need a change of diet …
Honestly, if you can’t hold your farts until you go to the bathroom without it hurting, you might need to get on a medication or something. It’s extremely rude to do that around other people. What would you do on an airplane?
My relative was a stewardess, and she said the ups and downs of many flights a day (domestic, multiple small flights) combined with airline food would give them all gas.
They had a maneuver they called “crop dusting “ whereby they would release their gases during nonchalant walks up and down the aisle.
This helped disperse the fumes rather than leaving them concentrated.
Due to the lower air pressure inside of an airplane when af cruising altittude (comparable to the pressure at around 2500m of altitude, iirc) the gasses in the bowels expand, causing more discomfort. That’s why everyone gets more gassy in a plane, although I can imagine that airplane food and fucked up circadian rythms contribute as well.
Love the term crop dusting btw.

I’d turn the little vent on above my head and let her rip.
300 people and two to three lavatories which are only allowed to use during certain parts of the flight.
I’d be more than happy to use the bathroom if the bathroom was available.
If holding in a fart makes your stomach hurt then you need to shit. It eventually hurts to hold your piss and shit in, but then we use the washroom instead of filling our pants. Same thing, imo.
Have a shit, stop farting all over the place.
Lol what? You can still need to fart but not be able to take a shit. Even so much that it hurts.
Thanks for the tip, I had no idea you should let OP know.
Let er rip. Be the hero of the oppressed. Freedom for farts or no freedom at all. Ass Gas or Pass playboi. If she don’t love your gas she don’t love you at all. Huff it or beat it honey. Beans is life
Homeschool kids are so weird LoL.
I think they are still farting. I occasionally fart at school. I don’t go around advertising it though. It’s completely possible to fart without anymore knowing it was you, if you use your body and especially your buttcheeks right. It’s a relatively easy skill to master.
if you use your body and especially your buttcheeks right.
this caught me off guard LMAO
The key is to unevenly shift your weight (lift one side and slowly allow it out), if you are level with the seat it usually creates an airlock or whatever which will amplify the force and volume created the moment theres a pressure leak/change.
Also, before you go, lie down on your stomach and try to get yourself so your lower half is elevated the highest and relax while the gas floats to the top 😁 Better out than in before school because then your day will be ruined from stomach pain
There were many days I had to find an empty classroom or office to plank in to clear the air, err, my stomach
You kinda have to get a butt cheek to stick onto the chair while the other is in the air as to just let air out without it going ptptptptptpt
Edit: emergency use only lol. The smell gets fingers pointed to chubby kids :( I know from experience!

Or if you are in elementary school or early middle school then you work to amplify the sound.
Reading these comments… I’d like to add to the discussion, that farting being ‘unacceptable’ is not a cultural universal, globally, and it’s amusing to me how strongly some people think it is.
Unless done with perfect comedic timing farts are not considered to be socially acceptable. It’s been a while since I was in school but I seem to recall I would usually just excuse myself to the bathroom or try to do it when no one was around. If nothing else I would just try to let it out silently and hope no one noticed.
