NOTE:Just being prepared,when i go to school on September 2nd (in Canada)

Answer 1

if he's really that rude to ask just say "lady issues" or if you wanna a real smart *** say your surfing the crimson wave!! LoL but to be polite I would just stick with lady issues. I used to tell my nosey history teacher that it's girl time!!

Answer 2

Being a high schooll student in Toronto and having had many a male teacher in my day, I have been in your same position.

It is none of the teachers that you are on your period, however, if you are going to the washroom a lot because of it, then you should let the teacher know.

If they question your motives about going to the washroom, then just explain that you are going because of a private female reason. Though (at least at my school) all the male teachers are given a class in teaching teenage girls.

Answer 3

They shouldn't ask you why you want to go to the restroom. Isn't that kinda a personal thing lol? Just calmly tell him it's an emergency or a female thing. My teachers never asked me. I would just pick up my purse and ask if I could be excused to the restroom. Usually they would look at the purse and realize and just let me go.

Answer 4

I would tell him if he was asking privately, if he was yelling it out for the class to hear then I would probably not tell him. I would probably be a smart ***, but I don't want to encourage you to do that. If he said I couldn't go, I would probably just walk out anyway, but leave my books, just so they know I'd be back. If you get in trouble then explain it to the principal.  

Answer 5

As said just tell him you have a female issue and need to take care of it. A male teacher should not have a problem with that.  

Answer 6

He will understand I had a male teacher last year and he understood.

I'm going back to school september 2 too(In Canada to)

Answer 7

A friend of mine would always say, "I have feminine needs" and the teacher would end up not wanting to know any more about the subject and let her go.

Answer 8

I would tell him Because I really have to go.I'd never tell a male or female teacher the reason.

Answer 9

Ya just say that its  a personal problem. one time my male teacher wasnt giving in for that excuse so i just told him flat out that i had killer cramps because of my period and needed to go to the washroom.  it was way more awkward for him than me and it totally worked!

Answer 10

I sure would. I'd tell him exactly why I have to go to the bathroom and I would make sure I didn't leave out any details then maybe he would think twice before asking anybody why they have to go to the restroom.

Answer 11

as embarrassing as it may seem this is the best situation ever!

male teachers usually get embarrassed and wont ask questions, whereas female teachers are more likely to check everything is ok etc!

and don't worry about asking them to go, just wait until they are near your desk and say quietly "sir, please may i go to the toilet for private reasons" or something like that and they'll totally understand...he's a mature adult, he can handle it!

Answer 12

tell him that it's personal and you need to go know!!  

Answer 13

Well tell him it's a female problem. And if he continues to persist on a more detailed answer tell him straight up you're on your period. He'll probably feel more embarassed than you.  

Answer 14

I'm sure your teacher will understand! Tell them its personal !  

Answer 15

haha my friend once told my teacher she wanted to lay down at the beach because she had "cramps,bloating, and fatigue" he laughed and said "whats your excuse jenna?" and i was like "Cause i don't want to go down there"

I got my period during our standardize test and i asked my friend to go grab my purse and my male teacher knew. It's okay. Everyone goes through it. I've had teachers have to clean period blood of there seats from girls! (ewwww)

But if he asks (which he shouldn't) just say "uhh, i have my period" he'll never ask you again hahahah.  

Answer 16

Tell him it's a female problem. :P

I'm sure he won't ask again.

And he should understand, he's older so he already knows about that stuff.

Answer 17

Usually they won't say no unless you go to the bathroom ALL the time in their class. I had a teacher for my last class of the day and I Always had to go in there, I really had to go! One day he told me I had to wait and I flat out told him you know sometimes when it's the end of the day and you are having 'female' issues you can't help it! And I really gotta go! He let me go.....They will be so shocked you flat out say I'm having female or personal issues (however female issues gets the point across better) they will let you go

Answer 18

Dont Be Embarrassed,

Just Talk To Him In Private Quietly.

He'll Understand Babes,

x

Answer 19

Most male teachers know better than to ask a girl why they want to go to the restroom!  But in case he forgets, you can look him straight in the eye and when he says, "Why?", just say, "Because I have to USE THE BATHROOM, sir!" He'll catch on.  

Answer 20

Well one way to avoid staining is to wear a single pad around the time that your period is about to start, that way if you start to bleed during class you'll have time to get to the bathroom.

Good luck!

Answer 21

Teachers know that any one of their female students might need to rush off to the washroom.  Just ask to go to the washroom, they usually say yes.  If he says no, then say it's a female emergency, don't be embarrassed.  

If you know it's coming though then it would be wise to use the few minutes in between classes to use the washroom.  They give more than enough time to do that and go to your locker.
