LAKELAND, Fla. – An eighth-grader was suspended from riding the school bus for three days after being accused of passing gas. The bus driver wrote on a misbehavior form that a 15-year-old teen passing gas on the bus Monday to make the other children laugh, creating a stench so bad that it was difficult to breathe. The bus driver handed the teen the suspension form the next day.

Polk County school officials said there's no rule against flatulence, but there are rules against causing a disturbance on the bus.

The teen said he wasn't the one passing gas.

Whether he did it or not, he might have gotten off easy. A 13-year-old student at a Stuart school was arrested in November after authorities said he broke wind in class.

The media simplifies this kind of .

The kid might have been acting a fool and doing all sorts of stupid that led to this. Who's to say that the kid hadn't been doing that all week long?

Bus drivers have to put up with some stupid because kids are totally untouchable nowadays.

I bet one of my farts would get me arrested.

he should have gotten kicked off the bus for being a 15 year old 8th grader.

I got detention for farting in class once. I wasn't doing it to cause a disturbance or get a laugh, although it caused both of those to happen. Stupid of a subs ute teacher gave me a write-up and the Vice Principal said I should've known better and sent me to d-hall. I got her back by peeing all over her driver side car door handle and windshield.

I was thinking the same thing.

What a pig. I really hate the "it's a natural bodily function" excuse. So is crapping but I don't see anyone doing that in public!!

The kid didn't even ass-k for permission.

Those bus drivers should have to drive my puppy around for a few hours. Then they would truly know the depth of how badly gas can smell. After that they wouldn't even notice a teenage boy farting on their bus.

People fart. If he was making a scene then handle it, but otherwise farting just shows how socially unacceptable even common things we all do are. Amongst all the issues with today's youth that is just stupid.
