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…

      Between classes, masking it with other noises, lifting a leg to prevent any telltale sound.

      There’s lots of strategies. You delay as much as you can but when you got to vent you got a vent and take the humiliation

      Depending on the chair and how you position your butt cheeks, you can sometimes sneak out a fart silently.

      You pick up tricks. Mainly farting while walking. If you get your foot placement and pivot properly you can send it out without much “pushing”. I don’t tend to try and push my farts, as I am old and I don’t trust them all.

      You might be over thinking it. Everyone farts, but it’s seen as more acceptable to fart away from other people’s noses. You don’t really wanna smell someone else’s gas, do you?

      Normal people hold their farts, consolidating them as the day goes on so they can release a large one in front of their husband/wife at the dinner table and discuss the days eatings.

      Y’know, like normal people.
