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…

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.
Somewhat unrelated, but I do find it funny that farts aren’t considered acceptable, but sneezes and coughs are. Like, farts have an extra barrier in the form of your clothing (assuming you’re not at a nudist colony or bathhouse) and won’t make other people sick. I guess it’s just because they’re stinky.
I vote to normalize farting with an “excuse me”, and saying “bless you” to people when they fart.
It’s much easier to suppress farting than the involuntary reflexes of coughing and sneezing.
Except while sneezing and coughing.
Everyone does, they’re just quiet about it.
yeah, you dont know how to act in public. youll pick it up fast.
no farting.
So everyone’s able to hold it in? Where do they fart?
Either they hold it in, they fart silently, they go to the toilet, they do it where there’s not a lot of ppl and try to hide it, etc.
Depending on the chair and how you position your butt cheeks, you can sometimes sneak out a fart silently.
The sound is not the issue. I haven’t smelled anyone farting.
only homeschooled kids farts smell. sorry.
