Why isn't anyone farting in school?
Why isn't anyone farting in school?
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...
You're viewing a single thread.
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.

And then the blame game starts, like a game of hot potato of social standing.
"He who smelt it dealt it, and I am no blacksmith good sir"
But have you considered that he who denied it, in fact, supplied it?
“He who smelt it, dealt it”
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.
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.
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
