Instead of asking: "can I go to the bathroom?", Inform them: "excuse me, I have to go to the bathroom". Don't wait for permission. You are not in prison.
@@ziadalaa6054 I understand what you say. But you can't forcefully teach someone. Also, don't you think it's wrong to not trust all children just because you know several kids who cheated the system?
@@polargroup_babyzitong someone in our class said this, and Everybody burst into laughter, and the student was so ashamed, and i think she/he wanted the earth to swallow him/her. Its kinda uncomfortable actually..
They should show this to the school systems, a lot of kids constantly have to hold it in during the day because the teachers won’t let them go and there isn’t enough time in between classes.
I remember some of my college professors wanted us to raise our hands and ask permission to go to the bathroom. We also had seating charts. I kept thinking I was in elementary school again.
I actually had this happen in high school. I had a professor who wouldn’t let us use the bathroom during class and would lock you out and mark you as truant if you were late to class because you used the bathroom (there were always lines in the bathroom) So I ended up developing a urinary retention issue as a result. 😐
Holding your urine for too long can weaken the bladder muscles over time. This can lead to problems such as incontinence and not being able to fully empty your bladder. Holding your urine for extremely long periods of time can also cause urinary tract infections due to bacteria build-up.
I've walked out of class several times because I had to desperately relieve myself and the teacher(s) just wouldn't let me go. One of them ended up contacting my parents and in the meeting with them said he was disappointed they didn't "teach me manners" because I had been "extremely disobedient" towards him and other teachers. When asked what I had done my dad requested to meet the headmaster with all the other teachers that had a problem with me and berated them. That was an amazing day :)
The meanest thing I ever heard of was a teacher my grandmother had in elementary school. The teacher would not let any of the children leave class to use the bathroom. My grandmother refused to be like other kids who wet their pants. She held it. And held it. When she got home she found she couldn't pee at all. They had to take her to the doctor.
@@lenorapalminteri1002 I went to the same school in high school and it had no cafeteria. I don't think schools built in the 1890's were built with cafeterias. People ate lunch in the classrooms. The teacher did not allow the children to leave the classroom.
@@susanfarley1332 So the students were not allowed to go to the restroom the entire time they were in school? I could understand not being allowed to leave while they were being taught their subjects, but lunchtime should have been the time for bathroom breaks too! When in Catholic grammar school, the nuns didn't allow us to leave the classroom either, but we got bathroom breaks before having lunch! Class began at 9 am; restroom, lunch and play time from 12 noon to 1 pm, and back to class from 1 to 3 pm. So, a total of six hours in school, not counting travel time to and from school. And the nuns were very strict! If any teacher was not to allow any breaks in all that time, I would think it would be the nuns! LOL!
@@lenorapalminteri1002 I had a stint in Catholic school too. They weren't bad. One st. Patrick's day one of the nuns dyed her hair green. But only the other nuns got to see it. We only heard about it. None of us had any problems being allowed to used the bathrooms. I guess my grandmother lucked out and got a psycho at a different school.
@@susanfarley1332 The nuns at the school I went to were very strict! I recall a nun hitting one of my classmates over his head with a metal ring of keys, just for saying something to the boy next to him! And they never allowed anyone to go to the bathroom during class. Just one break before lunch. Luckily, I don't recall ever having to go during class. After graduating from grammar school, my parents sent me to a public high school, and I felt like my prison sentence was finally over! LOL!
Check your kidneys, you may have a backflow of urine to the kidneys when you gold your pee for too long, so when you pee there is still urine in the kidneys, which you will feel shortly after. Its not too critical, just make sure to pee every 3 hours:)
I got in trouble so many times at school for just walking out of the classroom after a teacher told me that I couldn't go to the bathroom or to wait. I guess I was suppose to just sit there and wait for them to decide when it was ok for me to go? Um.......NO!!
@@katrinabryant9873 You did the correct thing and I advice everyone to follow this, if it's really urgent. No One is going to save our bladder afterwards.
“Holding it” for too long too frequently as a child partly caused me to develop bad bladder infections and I had to be on different medications for 2+ years and regularly have an Urodynamic evaluation- painful procedure where they insert a catheter and fill your bladder with water until your body forces you to release it to test bladder pressure. I also came very close to having a major surgery but thankfully the right combination of medications helped. Fun times.
I had an elementary teacher who always said no to kids when they ask to go to the bathroom. Especially after the break. "You can't go now, because you had a break and you should use your breaktime to go the toilet. Wait untill the next breaktime" she always said. At a very young age I knew it was wrong but what can a kid do against sick minded adults? + As if I chose voluntarily to go to the toilet after the break. One day I just couldn't hold it, so I asked and she said "NO". So I decided myself to not listen to someone else when it comes to your own health. So, I went to the toilet and the next day I was punished and I was invited to PRINCIPAL with my parents.
I had a teacher like that too, I couldn’t hold it in anymore so I peed all over my chair and I was really embarrassed because I had to ask the kid next to me to tell the teacher sense I didn’t want to get up from my wet chair. She told me she was sorry but I still hated her for the rest of the year.
From personal experience, yes. Holding your urine leads to it being harder to hold it, and could lead to a UTI. I have Autism, so for a while when I needed to hold it due to working remotely in the forest, my brain forgot I needed to use the restroom... and yeah. Don’t do that.
I have ASD aswell and sometimes my brain just goes, "Yeah, don't need to pee.... Maybe... Nah.... Wait. Wait wait--- GO TO THE BATHROOM NOW OR YOU GONNA PEE YOURSELF MOVE MOVE MOVE"
@@apatheticpanda182 lol I refused to drink water when I was seven because I didn’t like the flavor so I gave myself kidney stones and annual heat sickness
I got a UTI from having to hold my bladder at school. Bathrooms were closed during lunch due to vaping. And my teachers had a bathroom pass system in place. You got extra credit if you didn't use them.
@@isjejjdjemdmekkwmskekwkdme4669 you can't just not let people use the bathroom because some skip. The dangers of forcing kids to hold their urine greatly outward the percentage of students who just skip class.
Lolita I was hanging out with my mom and I was holding it and than I saw this comment and told my mom "Can I go pee?" And I started speeding to the bathroom
Most of my teachers are nice. They just say that you should've gone in the break but that you can go now. Most of them do anyways... I hate you Maarten... D*ck
I remember I was too shy to even use a public bathroom. I will never forget in 9th grade when I held my urine from morning to the end of the day.. omg I almost peed myself last minute. But thank God an Angel sent someone to open the door for me so I can go. And thank God I didn't receive damage or an infection.
When I was in elementary the teacher taught us that human body can be trained to adapt, such as hunger, lung capacity, etc. Then I randomly dropped a question "how bout our pee bladder?" but she just avoided my question and respond "if you want to go to the toilet just ask normally"
I go to the bathroom once when I get up. I might pee in the evening so yes the body can be trained to adapt. I've heard the Germans do the same, go to the bathroom in the morning when they get up.
When I was in my third grade, I had to pee quite frequently which I couldn't help it. My teacher hated it. Once she walked in and I really had to go pee. I asked her permission and...she just slapped my face so hard. I was a small kid. I didn't say a word. I didn't tell my parents. I literally had no friends. I went back of the classroom and cried in silence. My cheek got red print from her tight slap because I wanted to pee. I am 25 now and I remember every bit. I'll never forget her.
That's no reason to slap a student! A teacher shouldn't be slapping a student in the face regardless! That teacher should have been brought up on charges!
In seeing this topic again, I had a thought. Anyone going to school with any type of medical condition that makes them have to use the restroom more often, should get a note from their doctor, which should be given to the school's principal and respective teachers. Hopefully, the doctor's note will resolve any issues with the teacher allowing the student to use the restroom when needed.
My school didn't let us go to the bathroom after lunch because they say we should've gone during lunch. And in just thinking "What if we didn't need to go at the time?" It's so frustrating lol.
@@heavydonkeykong5190 yeah same. it really sucked cause sometimes my mother or father would pack my favourite drink and I may have to throw it away due to the fear of needing to relief myself.
@@kaishawna3753 you are correct but the actual reason is because I don’t like using public toilets, like I already said though, what you’re saying is true
The daughter of a friend of my wife had a motorcycle accident and broke her leg. Problem was she also burst her bladder in the crash as she was desperate for a wee. The leg would have mended ok, but the bladder injury became infected and it killed her, so don't hold it in.
Funny; I was riding a motorcycle in drizzling, cold rain, when I pulled in to a W/M to pee. Drenched and cold. Got to the men's room, and the need to go was overpowering! But...my hands were numb. SO numb, in fact, that I couldn't work a zipper! Fortunately, they had a warm air hand dryer, so I sat there, pushing that button, in a race against my bladder, to get feeling back in my hands! There really wasn't any other option: what, ask a complete stranger to work my damn zipper?! Drenched as I already was, I honestly would probably rather pee myself than make a request like that!
me.: please may i go to washroom ? teacher : wait . one girl has already gone . me : urgent * show this video to teacher on her phone * teacher : ummm , wait ! first i will go .
I had a bed wetting problem when I was younger. They taught me how to subconsciously hold it while sleeping. I got in the habit and then at 19 got a kidney infection from always holding it too long. Learned that while you sometimes have to hold it there is such a thing as "too long". Which isn't good.
I remember I had a friend with a bedwetting problem who would get grounded whenever she had an accident. I always thought it was cruel, but their reasoning was that if she went before bed she wouldn't have wet herself.
As I got out of the bed wetting phase my body would just wake me up if I needed to go that bad. But my body does hold a lot of urine when I sleep. I have a very large bladder
Man I was 14 y/o and in my class we aren't allowed to go to washroom between lectures. I was holding my pee for so long that I started to lose consciousness. Thankfully I got the courage to ask and teacher after looking at my face and condition said "You can go". Thank God no one looked back at my bench and teacher actually got the idea after seeing my face. Man I thought Im done here. The thing that boosted my fear was, before this incident I read about a physicist whose bladder exploded because of holding the pee for a long time. Well now only those who are reading this know the incident.
Thanks for the read! I really-hope the physicist made it to the hospital on time, and I very-hope everyone becomes more aware of the danger of that. Holding in my pee has brought me to tears - it’s one of, if not the most uncomfortable things I’ve been forced in endure! I have a dream, and its that we won’t need to hold excruciatingly large 700ml+ amounts of pee in future: I wish you a good cool day, without overstretched bladders!!
@@karlostjuroukei1802 nah I actually didn't go to physicist but I made in time and yes here I am. My urinary tract is fine and didn't got any bacterial infection or growth till now. Maybe concentration of urine or its composition is also a factor for infection.
Don't ever let a teacher or anyone else tell you you can't go to the bathroom. After you ask, just go, trust me they can't do anything about it , it's an emergency after all, in fact you could get that teacher in trouble for not allowing the students to use the bathroom. That's inhumane.. Just walk out and go... Don't let anyone make you pee yourself, ever.. ok..
@@karlostjuroukei1802 I'm pretty sure when we are in our spiritual bodies we won't need to use the bathroom. I'm not sure on that though, due to their not being anything in Scripture concerning how the Spiritual bodies actually work. I know they're everlasting and don't ever perish. But to know how they actually function, yeah, that's not written..
christianfilmer1500 actually TH-cam is where I learn everything... I even come here to learn how to do my homework because my teachers don't explain it well enough 😂
"Do you ever tire of urinating?" Yes, Cas. Yes, I do. Yeah, but in surgery, we can't always just run to the bathroom. Not every hospital has the staff to make sure no one holds it for too long.
during a school trip in elementary school I held my pee for almost three days, I can still remember after all these years how painful it was never again
Is there any explanation on why our bladder can hold when we rush to the toilet but as soon as we step on the toilet floor, our bladder burst immediately even though we haven't even reach the toilet bowl?
Yeah, like the others said your eyes sense the toilet and that relays a signal to your brain telling your bladder to get ready to release. But you do this so many times that even when your not *in* the bathroom your brain already sends that signal to your bladder because it already knows you're going to go.
@@screamingcat-o2x I'm doing fine, it still hurts when I pee and I still see a bit of blood coming out (no it's not my period). So I still have UTI. But I try to drink more water, get more vitamins C, and drink more cranberry juice, my UTI might go away soon. So I'm not giving up yet! ❤
When your teacher doesn't allow you to go use the bathroom: "Well, I bet you didn't know that if you don't go pee for long enough, that can cause your bladder to explode? If that happens and I need surgery, you're paying my medical bills cuz I don't have insurance."
Asuna Yuuki Or lock the teacher’s bathroom and wait for her/him to pee on their clothes and when they come back. You point out that the6 peed on they’re pants. You all students laugh!
"Is it bad to hold your pee?" Short answer: If you're in a public place or transportation and there isn't a bathroom nearby...YES, definitely, absolutely. Hold your pee.
I try to get my blood sugar tested every year or so because, when I was six years old, I developed a severe UTI due to a congenital kink in my urinary tract. My only symptom was bed-wetting, so my doctor at the time ignored my mother's pleading to do a test because she knew something was seriously wrong. He told her I was doing it on purpose and to punish me. Then I stopped feeling when I wet myself in the daytime. The doctor finally ordered the test to shut her up and they found I was moving into severe kidney failure. The infection was everywhere. I was hospitalized for a week to both treat the infection and undergo surgery to fix the kink in my tract. The infection had spread everywhere in my pelvic region, including my female organs. (If I never have kids, I'll know why.) I was lucky because I was days away from dying, but the one leftover issue I have is the fact that I have to visit the bathroom. A lot. It gets so that I will severely limit what water I drink to keep from more frequent visits when I'm at work. I go at least three times at night. My current doctor knows this, and agrees with my assessment that I should get my blood sugars checked yearly because my need to go so often would mask an important symptom of diabetes, should I ever develop it. I am fairly healthy and eat well, but it pays to be cautious.
I really enjoyed watching this. It made me smile and laugh. I also enjoyed reading some of the comments as well and was reminded of my kindergarten teacher who said no to me when I asked to go to the bathroom. Mr. Dupree said no and I released and pee'd before him and my classmates. Mom was called in to pick me up. The next day, I knew my classmates were going to make fun of me, but they didn't. They just said, you missed a birthday party after you left 😊
This year I developed contamination OCD, and started to hold my pee for really long stretches of time because I was scared of going to the bathroom and spend 2 hours washing my hands. During these months anyway I gradually became unable to hold my pee for such long periods, and even if now I'm quite fine and not scared of anything, just a bit lazy, I think this really bad habit has come to damage my body: right now any tiny amount of urine causes me to feel like I'm about to let a waterfall out, it's painful, urgent and really annoying; when I get to the bathroom running, it turns out is just a normal or even fewer amount of pee. Surely there might be something else going on, and I will get visited, but yes guys, treat your bladder with respect!!
I tell my kids the same thing my mom told me as a kid. Never ask someone to use the restroom, just go. In school I would just get up and walk out the room and tell them I was going to the bathroom. I would get in trouble by some teachers at the beginning of the years but then they would all realize im just gonna go anyways and they all stop caring
Yeah thats true, in my school only some teachers care but most teachers done care if u go to the bathroom without asking, the only time teachers care when you go to the bathroom without asking is when you have a test or exam
@@scarletred1516 The urethra in women is only a couple of centimetres long; whereas in men, several centimetres. White cells, macrophages responsible for defence against infection, have more time to deal with bacteria in a longer pipe. That's the theory. By the bye, women might be advised not to wear under-daks (perineal clothing). Fresh air in nether regions might prevent ascending infection. Hope this explains, a bit.
Worth to note as well my experience of forcing to urinate and SIMULTANEOUSLY coughing hard - injured something inside - causing pain and bloody urine. My personal experience. So, be mindful.
You hear beautiful sounds when you do. The music also intensifies when there are people around. You know, to make you more comfortable with the situation.
Yes, I once had to hold back going for a pee whilst on a bus journey from urlingford ( a town in the Midlands of Ireland) to cork city it was painful and when the bus arrived in cork I found it was difficult to walk off the bus as I was getting sharp stabbing pains in my kidneys and was sweating quite a bit, I eventually got to the toilet and all was good again, but it is no joke it was a painful 2 hours
What a gorgeously explained, and illustrated, explanation of a universal experience. Something we all really wanted/needed to know, explained in a manner that will surely offend no-one. (Apart from those 1.1k downvotes. Really?) Thank god for TH-cam. And Ted-Ed. And Heba Shaheed.
Teacher: You can hold it till the end of the lesson Student: But teacher, ( Explains why it’s not a good habit to hold your pee) Teacher: Well who’s the one who should be teaching here, me or you?
I would have been like: who's the more intelligent one here, me or you? And then I would've gotten my parents called and grounded for a few weeks but who cares, it would've been worth it.
To those wondering “can the floor muscles strength?” Yes but it’s not an easy process nor it may work for everyone depending on how far they weakened their bladder. An exercise practice called “Kegel exercise” can help strengthen these floor muscles. Many other things can improve your bladder strength, not just this exercise like; •stop smoking •Cut down on alcohol •Cut down on caffeine •Avoid lifting (I wouldn’t say stop completely but reduce lifting habits) •Drink 6-8 gallons of water a day And so on can help your bladder stay strong and up to your age. I can’t promise this will make it strong within weeks or days but I can promise this will make your bladder happier :)
Hold on, by drinking more I can get better bladder strength?? How does that actually work, since you'd be using the muscles more often. Unless its because of how it's being used. Curious cause I really want a stronger bladder lmao
+Jake La Forest you are only supposed to drink when you are thirsty. Over drinking water can be bad for you so the 8 glasses a day is bullshit. mobile.nytimes.com/2015/08/25/upshot/no-you-do-not-have-to-drink-8-glasses-of-water-a-day.html
Prof. Ingo Froböse from the German Academy of Sports recommends at least 30 ml per kilogram you weigh to keep all cells going. The problem is more that people don't drink plain water/tea but sugary drinks that have other side effects on your health, rather than not drinking enough. Also a lot of people are so disconnected from their body awareness that they think they're hungry/have an appetite for something undefinable, when they're actually thirsty, so a reminder every now and then is actually not all that bad :)
My cousin dared me when I was 5 that I couldn’t go a day without peeing...he was wrong I went 2 days...and then weeks later I had to go to Texas Children’s for a week after going into sepsis from a Kidney Infection😅 Don’t recommend not peeing....
When my son was about 11 years old he entered a Jaycee Relay Race. He’d never ran track before and didn’t know everybody wore shorts. He came in jeans, to everyone’s amusement. He ran the last leg for his team - and came away the fastest runner of the day, and made up considerable distance to win. This video made me think of that day. How I wish I had been able to see it, instead of only hear and read about it. I was a single mom and had to work. My son was an amazing athlete. ❤️
it was from having to go 20-30 times a day i actually learned that my nervous system wasnt working right. never take these functions for granted, ever.
@@dabordietrying I have this issue and got a urologist to check it out. For me at least, there is nothing biologically wrong with me. He said it’s in my head and I can train myself to go less often. He mentioned a good test is that I can get a full night’s worth of sleep without having to go. If you find yourself waking up at night to go or just have bad streams, that may be a sign that something is actually wrong.
I have a neurological disorder called 'dystonia' throughout my body. Dystonia is A LOT like Parkinson's disease and are in the same region of the brain. Recently I found out that dystonia effects the sphincter and detrusor muscle, so the bladder doesn't empty completely because the sphincter won't relax. It's annoying to always have the feeling of having to urinate because the bladder doesn't empty completely.
Isabella A Rossellini That does sound annoying. Since about March, (TMI) I feel a lot of the time that I can't empty my bladder all the way, so then I end up trying to pee more often because I don't feel right, and when I go I try to "push" the urine out. No idea why this suddenly came on, I don't have any new health conditions that I'm aware of. Anyway, it might not even be that's it's not emptying but something else, I'm just saying it really is annoying to *feel* that way. Sorry you have to deal with this much worse though! :(
One of my teachers gives us bathroom passes that could be turned as extra credit at the end of the semester depending on how much you didn’t use , so basically we get rewarded extra credit for not using the restroom
literally my lit, chem, and geometry teachers are doing this rn and for literature after we use our 3 passes we start getting tardies if we want to go the restroom 🥲
I was in a non communicative state in a ward in hosp when I was regularly emptied of pee by sitting me on toilet, a bright young doc decided to fit me with a catheter without telling me what it was for. I waited for my emptying time which never arrived, I was in so much pain but not able to scream, eventually the pain became so great I almost passed out. So I thought I will just have to wet my bedding, only to find that I became relieved with no wetness in the bed. They then explained what the pipe was for. This was 24 years ago, I still have a damaged bladder that has been stretched beyond its limits with no pressure and acts like an old balloon which empties in stages. I have learnt to live with it, but so-called clever docs cannot understand what or why.
My mom always tell me to go every time it's needed. She always threaten the risk of getting kidney stones by holding my pee. Now I know the real risk of holding pee.
Great video! I have suffered from interstitial cystitis almost my entire life & I've never heard the term " detrusor muscle" from urologist I have seen in my life, over the years. This helps me see & understand my issue more clearly. No medication has ever helped but thanks to your video, I will study everything about this muscle & go back to my doctor with this new information. Very informative! 👍

Holding your urine for too long can weaken the bladder muscles over time. This can lead to problems such as incontinence and not being able to fully empty your bladder. Holding your urine for extremely long periods of time can also cause urinary tract infections due to bacteria build-up.
Yeah but if you don't stretch you bladder at all, it'll remain small and you'll need to pee frequently.
So can the bladder muscles get strong again if you stop holding your pee?

Same
You should conzult urologist
super same this heppen to me in school MILLONS OF TIME
You probably have UTI my guy
Check your kidneys, you may have a backflow of urine to the kidneys when you gold your pee for too long, so when you pee there is still urine in the kidneys, which you will feel shortly after. Its not too critical, just make sure to pee every 3 hours:)
The dislikes are from teachers who don’t want students to go to the bathroom
Yep
Those Rude teachers .... :(
Yeah that's so true 😂
I got in trouble so many times at school for just walking out of the classroom after a teacher told me that I couldn't go to the bathroom or to wait. I guess I was suppose to just sit there and wait for them to decide when it was ok for me to go? Um.......NO!!
@@katrinabryant9873 You did the correct thing and I advice everyone to follow this, if it's really urgent. No One is going to save our bladder afterwards.
“Holding it” for too long too frequently as a child partly caused me to develop bad bladder infections and I had to be on different medications for 2+ years and regularly have an Urodynamic evaluation- painful procedure where they insert a catheter and fill your bladder with water until your body forces you to release it to test bladder pressure. I also came very close to having a major surgery but thankfully the right combination of medications helped. Fun times.
I had an elementary teacher who always said no to kids when they ask to go to the bathroom. Especially after the break. "You can't go now, because you had a break and you should use your breaktime to go the toilet. Wait untill the next breaktime" she always said. At a very young age I knew it was wrong but what can a kid do against sick minded adults? + As if I chose voluntarily to go to the toilet after the break. One day I just couldn't hold it, so I asked and she said "NO". So I decided myself to not listen to someone else when it comes to your own health. So, I went to the toilet and the next day I was punished and I was invited to PRINCIPAL with my parents.
I had a teacher like that too, I couldn’t hold it in anymore so I peed all over my chair and I was really embarrassed because I had to ask the kid next to me to tell the teacher sense I didn’t want to get up from my wet chair. She told me she was sorry but I still hated her for the rest of the year.
those kind of teachers should be fired
What did your parent say? I imagine they weren't happy with the teacher.
@@alo9240 that’s is just sick 😢

Teachers have to hold their pee all the time. My urologist told me the largest occupational group who go to urologists are teachers.

@@evanjiang9393 oh wow!
@@cellothere5723 And it was all because of an exam and that teachers dont allow me to go when I needed to
From personal experience, yes. Holding your urine leads to it being harder to hold it, and could lead to a UTI. I have Autism, so for a while when I needed to hold it due to working remotely in the forest, my brain forgot I needed to use the restroom... and yeah. Don’t do that.
I have ASD aswell and sometimes my brain just goes, "Yeah, don't need to pee.... Maybe... Nah.... Wait. Wait wait--- GO TO THE BATHROOM NOW OR YOU GONNA PEE YOURSELF MOVE MOVE MOVE"

I’m showing this to all of my teachers

"But I didn't need to go then."
I remember I was too shy to even use a public bathroom. I will never forget in 9th grade when I held my urine from morning to the end of the day.. omg I almost peed myself last minute. But thank God an Angel sent someone to open the door for me so I can go. And thank God I didn't receive damage or an infection.
I had severe enxiety and ocd so I would hold my pee for 7 hrs a day because I was too scared to ask the teacher.
When I was in elementary the teacher taught us that human body can be trained to adapt, such as hunger, lung capacity, etc. Then I randomly dropped a question "how bout our pee bladder?" but she just avoided my question and respond "if you want to go to the toilet just ask normally"
I go to the bathroom once when I get up. I might pee in the evening so yes the body can be trained to adapt.
I've heard the Germans do the same, go to the bathroom in the morning when they get up.

When I was in my third grade, I had to pee quite frequently which I couldn't help it. My teacher hated it. Once she walked in and I really had to go pee. I asked her permission and...she just slapped my face so hard. I was a small kid. I didn't say a word. I didn't tell my parents. I literally had no friends. I went back of the classroom and cried in silence. My cheek got red print from her tight slap because I wanted to pee. I am 25 now and I remember every bit. I'll never forget her.
That was bad of your teacher. Slapping your face and not letting you go to the bathroom? Very bad.
Felt bad for you. She really did wrong. What you can do is to try to learn from it and let it go , it will help you feel better .... Love from India
That's no reason to slap a student! A teacher shouldn't be slapping a student in the face regardless! That teacher should have been brought up on charges!
Exact similar thing happened to me. I remember it vividly at 45 years old. I was 8 years old.
In seeing this topic again, I had a thought. Anyone going to school with any type of medical condition that makes them have to use the restroom more often, should get a note from their doctor, which should be given to the school's principal and respective teachers. Hopefully, the doctor's note will resolve any issues with the teacher allowing the student to use the restroom when needed.
As someone who has never pissed once in their life, i can confirm.
i bet you stink
It is very bad to hold your pee

The daughter of a friend of my wife had a motorcycle accident and broke her leg. Problem was she also burst her bladder in the crash as she was desperate for a wee. The leg would have mended ok, but the bladder injury became infected and it killed her, so don't hold it in.
I’m so sorry for your loss! Are you ok? I just learned a new reason not to hold my pee
Funny; I was riding a motorcycle in drizzling, cold rain, when I pulled in to a W/M to pee. Drenched and cold.
Got to the men's room, and the need to go was overpowering! But...my hands were numb. SO numb, in fact, that I couldn't work a zipper! Fortunately, they had a warm air hand dryer, so I sat there, pushing that button, in a race against my bladder, to get feeling back in my hands!
There really wasn't any other option: what, ask a complete stranger to work my damn zipper?! Drenched as I already was, I honestly would probably rather pee myself than make a request like that!

I made a promise to myself to went to bed 3hrs ago, and now i'm here watching this video
Same I always do it!
Nam Phan lol I read that so wrong. I thought you said I made a promise to myself to wet the bed.
Ted Ed providing us with all the answers to our childhood questions we thought about while were in school daydreaming and not listerning to class.
I had a bed wetting problem when I was younger. They taught me how to subconsciously hold it while sleeping. I got in the habit and then at 19 got a kidney infection from always holding it too long. Learned that while you sometimes have to hold it there is such a thing as "too long". Which isn't good.
I remember I had a friend with a bedwetting problem who would get grounded whenever she had an accident. I always thought it was cruel, but their reasoning was that if she went before bed she wouldn't have wet herself.
As I got out of the bed wetting phase my body would just wake me up if I needed to go that bad. But my body does hold a lot of urine when I sleep. I have a very large bladder
Man I was 14 y/o and in my class we aren't allowed to go to washroom between lectures. I was holding my pee for so long that I started to lose consciousness. Thankfully I got the courage to ask and teacher after looking at my face and condition said "You can go". Thank God no one looked back at my bench and teacher actually got the idea after seeing my face. Man I thought Im done here.
The thing that boosted my fear was, before this incident I read about a physicist whose bladder exploded because of holding the pee for a long time.
Well now only those who are reading this know the incident.
Thanks for the read! I really-hope the physicist made it to the hospital on time, and I very-hope everyone becomes more aware of the danger of that. Holding in my pee has brought me to tears - it’s one of, if not the most uncomfortable things I’ve been forced in endure! I have a dream, and its that we won’t need to hold excruciatingly large 700ml+ amounts of pee in future: I wish you a good cool day, without overstretched bladders!!
@@karlostjuroukei1802 nah I actually didn't go to physicist but I made in time and yes here I am. My urinary tract is fine and didn't got any bacterial infection or growth till now. Maybe concentration of urine or its composition is also a factor for infection.
Don't ever let a teacher or anyone else tell you you can't go to the bathroom. After you ask, just go, trust me they can't do anything about it , it's an emergency after all, in fact you could get that teacher in trouble for not allowing the students to use the bathroom. That's inhumane.. Just walk out and go... Don't let anyone make you pee yourself, ever.. ok..
@@karlostjuroukei1802 I'm pretty sure when we are in our spiritual bodies we won't need to use the bathroom. I'm not sure on that though, due to their not being anything in Scripture concerning how the Spiritual bodies actually work. I know they're everlasting and don't ever perish. But to know how they actually function, yeah, that's not written..

Is there any explanation on why our bladder can hold when we rush to the toilet but as soon as we step on the toilet floor, our bladder burst immediately even though we haven't even reach the toilet bowl?
I have no answer for you.. But..
*RELATED*
You probably hold it too much causing that musle to burst
I think it's an external stimulant
Muscle memory...maybe?
Yeah, like the others said your eyes sense the toilet and that relays a signal to your brain telling your bladder to get ready to release. But you do this so many times that even when your not *in* the bathroom your brain already sends that signal to your bladder because it already knows you're going to go.

yes-
based on my experience I had an infection from holding my pee for too long.

"Is it bad to hold your pee?"
Short answer: If you're in a public place or transportation and there isn't a bathroom nearby...YES, definitely, absolutely. Hold your pee.
I try to get my blood sugar tested every year or so because, when I was six years old, I developed a severe UTI due to a congenital kink in my urinary tract. My only symptom was bed-wetting, so my doctor at the time ignored my mother's pleading to do a test because she knew something was seriously wrong. He told her I was doing it on purpose and to punish me. Then I stopped feeling when I wet myself in the daytime. The doctor finally ordered the test to shut her up and they found I was moving into severe kidney failure. The infection was everywhere.
I was hospitalized for a week to both treat the infection and undergo surgery to fix the kink in my tract. The infection had spread everywhere in my pelvic region, including my female organs. (If I never have kids, I'll know why.) I was lucky because I was days away from dying, but the one leftover issue I have is the fact that I have to visit the bathroom. A lot. It gets so that I will severely limit what water I drink to keep from more frequent visits when I'm at work. I go at least three times at night.
My current doctor knows this, and agrees with my assessment that I should get my blood sugars checked yearly because my need to go so often would mask an important symptom of diabetes, should I ever develop it. I am fairly healthy and eat well, but it pays to be cautious.
I feel bad for all of you with bad teachers, my teachers are always very willing to let us go, and I never have to wait for more than ~5 to go.
My classes are 90 minutes each 💀 and my Math/English teacher makes us wait
I really enjoyed watching this. It made me smile and laugh. I also enjoyed reading some of the comments as well and was reminded of my kindergarten teacher who said no to me when I asked to go to the bathroom. Mr. Dupree said no and I released and pee'd before him and my classmates. Mom was called in to pick me up. The next day, I knew my classmates were going to make fun of me, but they didn't. They just said, you missed a birthday party after you left 😊
so if you hold it long enough your bladder can burst that sucks and sounds very very painful so don't do it
This year I developed contamination OCD, and started to hold my pee for really long stretches of time because I was scared of going to the bathroom and spend 2 hours washing my hands. During these months anyway I gradually became unable to hold my pee for such long periods, and even if now I'm quite fine and not scared of anything, just a bit lazy, I think this really bad habit has come to damage my body: right now any tiny amount of urine causes me to feel like I'm about to let a waterfall out, it's painful, urgent and really annoying; when I get to the bathroom running, it turns out is just a normal or even fewer amount of pee. Surely there might be something else going on, and I will get visited, but yes guys, treat your bladder with respect!!
I tell my kids the same thing my mom told me as a kid. Never ask someone to use the restroom, just go.
In school I would just get up and walk out the room and tell them I was going to the bathroom. I would get in trouble by some teachers at the beginning of the years but then they would all realize im just gonna go anyways and they all stop caring
Yeah thats true, in my school only some teachers care but most teachers done care if u go to the bathroom without asking, the only time teachers care when you go to the bathroom without asking is when you have a test or exam
The timing of these recommendations still amaze me till this day.

Retaining urine, especially in women might lead to urinary tract infection and pyelonephritis - and renal failure.
@John Conlon could you please elaborate this.
@@scarletred1516 The urethra in women is only a couple of centimetres long; whereas in
men, several centimetres. White cells, macrophages responsible for defence against infection, have more time to deal with bacteria in a longer pipe. That's the theory. By the bye, women might be advised not to wear under-daks (perineal clothing). Fresh air in nether regions might prevent ascending infection.
Hope this explains, a bit.
Worth to note as well my experience of forcing to urinate and SIMULTANEOUSLY coughing hard - injured something inside - causing pain and bloody urine.

To those wondering “can the floor muscles strength?”
Yes but it’s not an easy process nor it may work for everyone depending on how far they weakened their bladder.
An exercise practice called “Kegel exercise” can help strengthen these floor muscles. Many other things can improve your bladder strength, not just this exercise like;
•stop smoking
•Cut down on alcohol
•Cut down on caffeine
•Avoid lifting (I wouldn’t say stop completely but reduce lifting habits)
•Drink 6-8 gallons of water a day
And so on can help your bladder stay strong and up to your age. I can’t promise this will make it strong within weeks or days but I can promise this will make your bladder happier :)
you lost me at cut down on caffeine haha
@@Marina-xd7gp oh like, try to have less caffeine, since some people have caffeine everyday lol

MrSkinnyWhale that made me laugh too hard
you probably don't drink enough water
+Jake La Forest you are only supposed to drink when you are thirsty. Over drinking water can be bad for you so the 8 glasses a day is bullshit. mobile.nytimes.com/2015/08/25/upshot/no-you-do-not-have-to-drink-8-glasses-of-water-a-day.html
Prof. Ingo Froböse from the German Academy of Sports recommends at least 30 ml per kilogram you weigh to keep all cells going. The problem is more that people don't drink plain water/tea but sugary drinks that have other side effects on your health, rather than not drinking enough. Also a lot of people are so disconnected from their body awareness that they think they're hungry/have an appetite for something undefinable, when they're actually thirsty, so a reminder every now and then is actually not all that bad :)
My cousin dared me when I was 5 that I couldn’t go a day without peeing...he was wrong I went 2 days...and then weeks later I had to go to Texas Children’s for a week after going into sepsis from a Kidney Infection😅
Don’t recommend not peeing....
hahaha this is hilarious. what a brave child you were! :DDD
wtf 😅
When my son was about 11 years old he entered a Jaycee Relay Race. He’d never ran track before and didn’t know everybody wore shorts. He came in jeans, to everyone’s amusement. He ran the last leg for his team - and came away the fastest runner of the day, and made up considerable distance to win. This video made me think of that day. How I wish I had been able to see it, instead of only hear and read about it. I was a single mom and had to work. My son was an amazing athlete. ❤️
I hold it up to about 6 hours a day at school cuz I hate school bathrooms
Edit: I meant I feel the need to pee for 6 hours
hahaha same 😂
+Camila A stop holding it in!
lol same
What the fuck?
Zane314 maaaaann!!!
99% of comments: we need to show this to teachers
1% of comments: what I just said
Underrated 😂
it was from having to go 20-30 times a day i actually learned that my nervous system wasnt working right. never take these functions for granted, ever.
I go 15-20 times a day. I don't know what's wrong..
@@lemonzest_ same... i always thought i just had a really small bladder? maybe i messed something up?
@@dabordietrying I have this issue and got a urologist to check it out. For me at least, there is nothing biologically wrong with me. He said it’s in my head and I can train myself to go less often. He mentioned a good test is that I can get a full night’s worth of sleep without having to go. If you find yourself waking up at night to go or just have bad streams, that may be a sign that something is actually wrong.
I go an infinite amount of times a day. I am superhuman
I am a teacher and I believe children must not be stopped to go to bathroom. Stopping can lead to urinary tract infections.
I hate when I laugh too hard unexpectedly and I end up peeing a little >.
yah and its so weird to
When I was little I oncd laughed so hard that I peed in my friends car... Twice...
LOL IKR
Yingdi Han so true
Me: Ms, Can i go to the toilet?
Ms: No, you should have went at lunchtime
Me: I didnt need to go at lunch!!!! 😠😠😩😪
That's so true 😂😂
Just walk up to their desk and urinate on it
Get up on the Desk to show dominance, get bladder-shyness and ask everyone to look away ^^
Ross Calvary my teacher literally said that today
so true omg
I have a neurological disorder called 'dystonia' throughout my body. Dystonia is A LOT like Parkinson's disease and are in the same region of the brain. Recently I found out that dystonia effects the sphincter and detrusor muscle, so the bladder doesn't empty completely because the sphincter won't relax. It's annoying to always have the feeling of having to urinate because the bladder doesn't empty completely.
Isabella A Rossellini That does sound annoying.
Since about March, (TMI) I feel a lot of the time that I can't empty my bladder all the way, so then I end up trying to pee more often because I don't feel right, and when I go I try to "push" the urine out. No idea why this suddenly came on, I don't have any new health conditions that I'm aware of. Anyway, it might not even be that's it's not emptying but something else, I'm just saying it really is annoying to *feel* that way. Sorry you have to deal with this much worse though! :(
Why are people disliking? They are telling us the answer
I sneezed and my period came on, and it got all over my pants:/
Ylene P. I'm not sure periods come on.
Woow badluck for you m8 X3 I'm sorry I had to watching this video makes me pee!
That's hot!

Ylene P. What?
One of my teachers gives us bathroom passes that could be turned as extra credit at the end of the semester depending on how much you didn’t use , so basically we get rewarded extra credit for not using the restroom
That’s terrible!
literally my lit, chem, and geometry teachers are doing this rn and for literature after we use our 3 passes we start getting tardies if we want to go the restroom 🥲
@@katiep6294 yup it really is I never use that restroom in that class I have to hold it in for that reason
this is weird...
@@roisinrosheenrose sorry to hear that, really wish teachers acknowledged how much of a problem not using the restroom when needed is
I was in a non communicative state in a ward in hosp when I was regularly emptied of pee by sitting me on toilet, a bright young doc decided to fit me with a catheter without telling me what it was for. I waited for my emptying time which never arrived, I was in so much pain but not able to scream, eventually the pain became so great I almost passed out. So I thought I will just have to wet my bedding, only to find that I became relieved with no wetness in the bed. They then explained what the pipe was for.
This was 24 years ago, I still have a damaged bladder that has been stretched beyond its limits with no pressure and acts like an old balloon which empties in stages.
I have learnt to live with it, but so-called clever docs cannot understand what or why.
Ouch.The catheter should not need you to pee.It empties it as it fills.
This is why I think most homes should have more than one toilet
My mom always tell me to go every time it's needed. She always threaten the risk of getting kidney stones by holding my pee. Now I know the real risk of holding pee.
“choose your moment of sweet release”
Great video! I have suffered from interstitial cystitis almost my entire life & I've never heard the term " detrusor muscle" from urologist I have seen in my life, over the years. This helps me see & understand my issue more clearly. No medication has ever helped but thanks to your video, I will study everything about this muscle & go back to my doctor with this new information. Very informative! 👍
Did anyone else get this recommended 5 years later?
