Article: Even if you feel like you don’t have to go, try and use the bathroom whenever you have a break and between classes. This may help ensure that you don’t experience any flare-ups during class or another inconvenient time. Give yourself the time you need in the bathroom. If you’re late for class, explain to your teacher that you’re sick and have to use the bathroom more frequently.  Let your teacher know why you’re late. Ask your teacher if you can talk outside of the classroom if you are embarrassed. Remember that teachers are there to help you and letting your instructor know what’s going on can prevent further uncomfortable situations. For example, you could say, “Mr. Newman, could I please speak to you outside about something important?” Once you get out of the classroom, tell the teacher, “I’m very sorry, but I’m having terrible problems with my stomach today. I may need to get up and use the bathroom during class.” Put your own health first. If you're having trouble communicating with your teacher or are not receiving the help you need, do not hesitate to put your own wellness first. Do what you need to do in order to manage your diarrhea. You should minimize disrupting your classroom and school environment, but your health should be your first priority. If you have to go to the bathroom often, let your teacher know what’s going on and ask if you can sit next to the door. This allows you to slip out if you feel ill without disrupting the class or drawing attention to yourself.  Consider asking to sit on the floor next to the door if necessary. If anyone asks, you can easily say “my back is killing me today and sitting on those chairs makes it worse.” Avoid making a commotion if you do leave. Get up as gently as possible and quietly open the door to avoid drawing attention to yourself. Use the bathroom during breaks, even if you don't think you have to go. These preventative trips to the bathroom might prevent you from rushing to go in the future. If you have severe diarrhea, you might consider wearing disposable underwear designed for bowel incontinence. These can catch any accidents and prevent odor you might have without exposing them to people around you. They may also give you some peace of mind, which can help with bowel issues. You can get full padded briefs, protective underwear, and/or belted undergarments. Choose the undergarment that you like the best, think is the most comfortable, and is the easiest for you to use. Before you leave in the morning, pack an extra set of underwear and pants in case of an emergency. This may also help relieve any anxiety you feel about having an accident. If you get diarrhea while you’re at school, ask the school nurse if she has a spare set of clothing or call your parents to see if they can bring you new garments.  Cover the back of your trousers with your book bag or shirt until you can get to a bathroom or the nurse’s office to change. Bring identical clothing if you can. For example, if you’re wearing jeans, have another pair handy. If anyone asks, you can say “I ate too much at lunch and my other jeans were uncomfortably tight.” Tell anyone who asks you why you changed your clothes that you’re trying out different outfits during the day. You could also say that you spilled something on yourself or that you fell in a puddle/got dirty. It’s easy to feel ashamed or embarrassed if you’re experiencing diarrhea in a public place like school. But it’s important to remember that everyone poops and most people will also have diarrhea at some point in their lives. Keeping these facts in mind may help to calm you and feel less self-conscious about your diarrhea. Allow yourself to use the bathroom without experiencing any embarrassment. Holding in a bowel movement can be uncomfortable and may harm you. If you need, use the bathroom and wait until everyone is gone before you leave. Each time you use the bathroom, make sure to thoroughly cleanse your hands. This can prevent the spread of diarrhea to others or may also keep you from getting sicker.  Rinse your hands with warm water and then lather with soap for at least 20 seconds, which is about as long as singing “Happy Birthday” twice. Rinse your hands again thoroughly to clean off any soap residue. Use a hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol if soap and water aren’t available. Cover both the front and back of each of your hands and rub in the sanitizer the same way you would soap.

Whether you're going to be in jail for a couple of days, a couple of weeks, or longer, you need to be honest with your employer. Tell him why you are leaving. You don't need to be explicit - especially if the details are sensitive - but you should not leave him and your co-workers in the dark. They'll need time to cover for you while you're gone. Talk to your credit card companies. Put your cell phone plan on hold to avoid unnecessary charges while you are in jail. Not taking care of something so simple as this can ruin your credit for you when you get out. If you have a financed car, try to sell it. Many ex-prisoners face bankruptcy when they get released because they don't focus on these issues beforehand. In some states, your bank may be able to provide a line of credit to cover your time in jail. This can be applied to your mortgage, car payments, and many other financial issues. Talk to your bank to see if there is anything they can do to make your transition in and out of jail easier on you. When you get into the jail, you'll have a flex account you can use to buy basic things from the commissary. Make sure you have surplus cash just in case. It will come in handy while you are in there. If you are sentenced to 12 months in jail, you can have your case reviewed after a couple of months. If you've behaved well in prison and your lawyer makes a good case for your release, you may get to leave early. A convicted parent's rights differ depending on the crime committed, the state convicted in, and penitentiary held at. In general, protective custody transfers from one parent to the closest of kin (for your child). This means that if you get locked up and your significant other is still free, they'll have the most immediate chance of guardianship. After parents, custody can be temporarily transferred to aunts, uncles, siblings, or grandparents. A judge and children's services will be a part of the decision making process in these respects. If your child doesn't have a family member to take care of them, they'll be placed in foster care for the duration of your sentence. Cases vary based on the crime you've committed. For violent offenses, you may lose custody completely - in which case your child may be put up for adoption. If you can figure all of this out before you go to jail, you'll be in a much better position. Filing claims, talking to judges, and working through the red tape while behind bars is a difficult task.
