Q&A for How to Get Permission to Use the Bathroom in School

Say: "Excuse me Mr/Mrs (your teachers name) but I really need to use the restroom." If they say no, then say: "I respect your answer but I need your permission and I cannot absolutely wait any longer." If they say no still, go to the restroom and call your parent or guardian and let them know what you had to do.

Just go. Request that a friend tell the teacher where you are if she returns before you do.

You can, but it is not advisable. If you are caught, there is a good chance that you will not be allowed to go to the bathroom again, even if you really need to go next time.

If it's a female teacher, whisper in her ear or ask to speak to her for a moment in private to explain your situation. If it's a male, just tell him you have a girl's problem to attend to -- he'll know what you mean. You might consider having a parent write a note so you're teachers will be aware you may need to use the bathroom more frequently because of your period.

Just leave the classroom and go talk to either another teacher, the principal, or someone in your school's office. And let your parents know. Your teacher should not prevent you from using the bathroom in an emergency.

You should talk to the principal, and perhaps the superintendent about what happened. Teachers cannot prevent a child from attending to natural bodily functions. Tell your son that accidents happen to everyone, and that people will forget all about it in a few days. You should also tell him that if this happens again, he should just get up and walk out of the classroom. If he is punished for doing this, once again, you should call and complain about this teacher.

If your class will be over in a few minutes and you can wait, attempt to do so. If you cannot wait, respectfully say that you simply cannot wait any longer, and exit the class. Verify your guardian of this after doing so.

In most schools in most countries, locking the classroom door is forbidden by law, specifically for safety reasons in case of a fire or evacuation. With attacks on schools and such, this is an ongoing debate. However, if you need to leave, for whatever reason, you must stand your ground and insist that the teacher open the door. If you are sick, or even if you need to use the bathroom, the teacher is obligated by law to let you go. Stay calm and polite, but do not give up until they let you go.

If you're a female, just say that you think you've started your period. If you're a male, and don't mind waiting a bit after class or school, simply tell them you really need to go and that you'll make up any lost time afterwards. They shouldn't argue with that because it shows your dedication to the lesson and proves that you genuinely need to go and aren't just trying to skip out on class.

Don't worry about asking. Everyone needs to use the restroom. Raise your hand and say, "please, may I go to the bathroom (I really need to go)?"

Just go, and run as fast as you can. When you get home, tell your parents what you had to do, you don't have to mention it dripping out, just mention it being an emergency, and you couldn't wait any longer.

If it legitimately is an emergency, then you can say that. However, if it is not a real emergency, do not use that as an excuse.

If it's an emergency, just go. You can always explain later. No teacher is going to imprison you in the classroom and no teacher wants you to pee on yourself.

Assuming you're male, give your penis a shake or two before putting it back in your pants. If that doesn't help, you can also use toilet paper to wipe yourself off. If you're female, just make sure you're wiping properly and using enough toilet paper.

You should have a doctor's note on the subject and be able to use the restroom at any.time.

Just leave, and when you return, reinforce that it was an emergency. If you face any consequences for leaving, talk to your parents.

Try waiting a few minutes and ask again, explaining that you really need to go.

Just go! Your teacher should always let you go in an emergency. If not, just go anyway, and tell another teacher or the principal about it later.

Look for your teacher, then raise your hand or signal to them that you need to use the restroom.

Get out the classroom as quickly as possible, walk or run to the nearest bathroom. Don't worry about getting in trouble, if it's an emergency, your teacher will understand. Clean yourself up as best you can. If you've stained your pants, go to the nurse or the principal's office and ask to call home.

For now, you should have him wear diapers. Don't make him feel bad or like his fear is not an appropriate reaction to the situation, because it is totally valid. Talk to his doctor and ask for a referral to a therapist.

This is probably not going to happen. Make sure to use the bathroom as soon as you feel like you have to, don't put it off until the last second. If this does happen, just ask to use the restroom or to go to the nurse's office and clean yourself up.

When that happens, calmly explain that you were in the bathroom.

Tell the teacher that it is an emergency. If this happens in a regular basis, inform your parents about the problem, and ask them to write a note to your teacher.

Just allow plenty of time to get to the bathroom, don't wait until the last second to ask. Your teacher should understand and let you go.

You should always go whenever you have a break, just to be on the safe side. Nonetheless, if you have to go, you have to go, and no one has any right to stop you. Remain polite and calm, and say something like "I did indeed go at lunch, but now I urgently need to use the bathroom and would like to be excused immediately. I understand this is an inconvenience, but I can't help it."

First, make sure the teacher can hear you. If the door is open, stand where they can see you as well. Then, make sure you are calm and polite. Wait for a break in what the teacher is saying, to avoid interrupting them mid-sentence. Then knock on the door, even if the door is open, and ask for permission to enter or to speak. Examples: "Excuse me, can I make an announcement?" "Excuse me while I return to my seat."

If it's not an emergency, just wait. If it is an emergency, state firmly that it's an emergency and you have to go. If she doesn't get out of the way, say you will not sit back down until you have gone to the bathroom, and you will talk to the principal about this. Complain to your parents later and maybe ask them to talk to the principal.

Call out that you've had an accident. It'll embarrass everyone, and you'll be allowed to go to the bathroom.

If you've made it clear to your teacher that it's an emergency and he still won't let you leave, then yes. You can always explain to an administrator later on why you had to leave against his wishes.
