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'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.
