High school students, what should I do if I'm afraid of being scolded for farting, I am very anxious, and sometimes I really feel desperate. By Anonymous | Published on December 18, 2024

This year around New Year's, I mysteriously started passing gas, with a very unpleasant smell. Initially, my classmates didn't believe it was me. I was still able to study hard. But last month, I became genuinely afraid. It's been a real struggle every day, trying to hold it in while pretending and listening to class. The subtle whispering and strange looks from my classmates were driving me crazy. Even when strangers cursed on the street, I'd subconsciously lean in to hear if they were talking about me. Those who haven't experienced this situation can never understand. They just think you have bad habits, stink, and I've been to the hospital seven or eight times, and it's not getting better; the doctors have even laughed, saying it's not a real illness. But the oppressive environment at school is literally killing me. I've been home for two weeks now and am too scared to go back; my family is also upset with me. I want to go to school, but just thinking about my classmates' whispers is terrifying. Before, when I went to the political enhancement class, people from other classes were there too, and one of the girls at the back would call out, "It's that gas passer again..." I couldn't even lift my head on the street, afraid that others would start calling me too. I understand how disgusting my classmates find it, but what can I do? I've thought about sitting at the back, but if the noisy boys in my class smell it, they'll start calling it out in class again, and I'm scared. What should I do? I really want to be a normal person, waaaaah...

Hello! Thanks so much for inviting me. I'm Strawberry.

From what you've told me, it seems like the farting only started around New Year's Day this year. I'm so sorry you've been going through this!

In our normal daily lives, it's totally normal to occasionally fart! In fact, farting can even tell us a lot about our body's health. If your fart has a bad smell, it might mean that there's something going on with your intestines or stomach. It's a good reminder to eat lightly and take care of your intestines and stomach.

It's totally normal to be concerned about your farts, especially when they're super strong and everyone in the classroom can smell them! It's understandable that you felt depressed when you realized it was you farting. It's hard not to feel self-conscious when you're the center of attention, especially when you feel like everyone is pointing fingers at you. It's natural to worry about whether the subject of their discussion is you, and even passers-by on the street might feel like they're scolding you.

I'm so scared. What should I do? I really want to be normal.

First, let's make sure it's not a physical problem.

The questioner said that he had been to the hospital 7 or 8 times, and the doctor told you that it was not a physical problem. We all know that belching is caused by problems in the intestines and stomach. It's so frustrating when you're in pain and you don't know what's wrong! The questioner went to the hospital so many times, but did they go to the same hospital and see the same doctor? Did they go to other doctors to make sure that there was nothing physically wrong?

If you're sure it's not a physical problem, it might be that you're feeling stressed. This has been proven in some cases. When we can't handle pressure, we can experience various physical discomforts, and the stomach is often one of the first to show signs. Take some time to think about what happened during New Year's Day. It might help you understand why you're feeling the way you are.

2. Try switching up your diet and rest schedule!

Our bodies are amazing, but they can sometimes get a little overwhelmed when we eat too many beans or foods with high protein content. This can make our intestines a bit difficult to digest, which can also lead to bad breath. If you usually have this kind of eating habit, don't worry! You can simply switch to lighter foods and combine them with traditional Chinese medicine to regulate your diet.

In addition to diet, it's also a great idea to have a regular routine, not stay up late, and find time to exercise normally to get your intestines and stomach moving. Eating some fruit is a wonderful way to help your intestines and stomach digest faster, and the toxins in your body can be excreted with sweat.

3. Accept yourself, sweetheart.

Farting is totally normal! If you're worried about affecting others, just do it your way. Sit in the back row and accept your farts! Nobody's perfect. You can even argue back when others say you've farted.

It's totally normal to pass gas! You don't have to hide it just to maintain a perfect image. We're all imperfect, and there's no need to try so hard to maintain that image in front of others. By not overthinking other people's opinions and thoughts, you can stop destroying yourself and make life less difficult.

I really hope my answer helps! Wishing you all the best!

I totally get how upsetting this must be for you. It's really tough when you're dealing with something that's out of your control and facing embarrassment at school. Have you considered talking to a counselor or someone who can offer emotional support? Sometimes, just having someone listen can make a big difference.

It sounds like you're going through an incredibly difficult time. Maybe it would help to focus on the things you can control, like finding a supportive friend or two who won't judge you. Having even one person by your side could make the situation feel less isolating.

The situation you're describing is so frustrating and isolating. It might be worth trying different dietary changes to see if that helps with your symptoms. Also, consider joining online communities where people share similar experiences; they might have advice or just understanding.

This must be really hard for you. I wonder if there's a way to address the issue with your classmates in a way that educates them about what you're experiencing. Sometimes people are more compassionate when they understand the whole story.

Feeling like this every day is such a heavy burden. Perhaps reaching out to organizations specializing in gastrointestinal issues could provide some guidance or solutions that haven't been tried yet. They might also have resources for dealing with social aspects of such conditions.
