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...

But #3 would still smell bad and I haven't smelled anyone farting.

A question no one has asked yet: how often are you farting and how smelly are we talking? Because there may be a diet change worth considering if you're putting around like Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

Pretty smelly. Once or twice per class I guess.

Bro either see a doctor or clean up your diet. That amount and frequency of smelly flatulence is not normal.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

You may want to talk to your doctor. That frequency is not a common issue and there may be something going on with your diet or stomach. It's not uncommon for people to go far longer than 1 highschool class without farting and most farts don't smell. If all your farts smell that likely means somethings wrong with your diet or stomach.

You're trolling right?

I genuinely thought this was a real post at first.

But the responses you're having are just a little too cookie cutter...

Let's say you are a real person and are having this problem. First, congrats on making it to a setting that exposes you to a large number of peers from all kinds of socioeconomic backgrounds.

No matter how much money I have in my life, I think I will insist on sending my kids to public school. That's what I did for all my life and I turned out fine. Just being exposed to everyone else will really help in maturing and having broad life experiences.

Their strategy here! Fart into a deep cushion seat, which diffuses the smell over a longer period of time. Fart into a fan to maximize chaos and minimize accountability

Plus one for chaos option

One of my friends who is a school teacher says "no one can use my chair, it's full of teacher farts," to her students, to keep them out of her chair.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

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
