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...

Everyone does, they're just quiet about it.

This is satire, right? I want to believe homeschooled kids are not as bad as they are often pictured

Homeschooled kids are bad because they fart?

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.

  1. Go to the bathroom between passing periods and let one out.

  2. Improve your diet, don’t drink carbonated drinks.

  3. I can’t believe I’m having this interaction on Lemmy
