Doesn't Want Detention For Too Many Bathroom Trips
Dear Guidance Guy,
I have one teacher and she's always getting mad at me for going to the bathroomright before her class. I've tried going to the bathroom a while before herclass and I try to wait to go after her class but it just doesn't work that way. Itseems that because her class is in the middle of the day that's when I have to go(right before her class).
I don't know what to do because next time I'm late for her class because of a bathroom break I'm in for detention. Plese give me some advice.

Dear Out Of Ideas,
Talk to your teacher, as well as the teacher before this class about the challenge you're having. She probably thinks you're faking it or have developed a pattern of having to go because you don't like her class. While I'm sure you're not faking it, it is possible your brain picks that time to have to go to spend a little more time out of her room.
But if you explain to both teachers this is the way your body has been working it might be possible to come up with something. Maybe you can try going at the very end of the previous class if you're not working on something important at that moment.
You can also look at the amount of water you drink before then. If you're not too thristy, try cutting back a little bit in the morning. But let your parents know if this is turning into a serious problem. A trip to the doctor for a check up might not be a bad idea.
Best of Luck,
The Guidance Guy
