Hey Jess, I've been where you're at. When I was young (60 now), things like this were not talked about. My problems started in the 8th grade when I had to change schools. I worried about throwing up, sweaty underarms, diarrhea, full bladder, stomach growling or gas while in class, but especially on the bus. School was hell and my shyness in speech class, along with these problems caused a nervous breakdown in my college junior year..never went back..have worked really bad jobs. OK, here's my advice: It's nothing to be ashamed about..be very vocal and just say "I need to crap!" and just laugh about it. You are making the problem bigger than it is. Nowadays, anything goes! People aren't shocked by ANYTHING! Tell each one of your teachers up front about your problem. They will UNDERSTAND. DO NOT let this rob you of that degree.View Thread
