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…

    People in this thread: “You can’t fart in the real world, why would you in school?”

    You are in school. Nothing you do socially matters. Me and the boys used to torque them stank rippers right out as loud as we could. Stink up the whole class and have a riot. Who cares? You’ll never see these bozos again. Enjoy being able to fart and laugh about it while you can.

        It is truly amazing how little high school drama will matter to you once you’ve graduated.

        It’s also amazing how easy it is for some adults to judge/dismiss people who are going through one of the most difficult periods of their life. It’s like some adults forget that they were ever teenagers. I can understand adults wanting to block it out, but being a dick about it is a touch much.

          True. I do think this is a little bigger than “high school drama.” You go around farting all over the school and you’re gonna be seen by your peers as pretty gross.

          Doesn’t mean you won’t have better social standing later in life and enjoy that. But it will likely be because you learned to start doing things like farting discretely.

      I still see plenty of people I went to school with, and I’m 45 and live across the country. Maybe you don’t see anyone from school because they all remember you as the kid who stinks?
