Why isn't anyone farting in school? (sh.itjust.works)

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 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?
