Yes, it is terrible. Your sneeze will have to come out some how and it may just burst out of your ears. Or worse yet your nose along with some snot. Ugh.

I have actually heard of people having aneurysms because of holding in their sneezes. It may just be a wives tale but it's something to consider. You sneeze for a reason, usually to get something out of your respiratory system that it foreign to it. It's best just to go ahead and sneeze, while covering your mouth and nose, and then saying 'excuse me'. As long as you're semi-delicate about it the teachers won't say anything, after all it's only human.

the reason you sneeze is to clear dust, debri, or anything you might be allergic to, so by not sneezing and not clearing out the cause of the sneeze you will probably continue to sneeze, but there are no bad effects that i know of, but maybe an allergy medicine would work.

Sneezing is your bodies MAJOR way of eliminating toxins, bacteria and viruses from the lungs and throat. If you don't sneeze the toxins/bacteria/viruses will stay inside you. If you have a cold and don't sneeze when you want to, for example, you'll have the virus for longer and it will be more severe!
In fact, that's the ONLY REASON you sneeze - becuase there's something inside you that the body doesn't want!

The effect is a headache. I don't think it will have any serious effects though. Why would you hold your sneeze anyway?? Just cover your face when you do it and blow your nose and carry on. It's only nature, i'm pretty sure no one will hold it against you.

well if it is quiet then it is not a bad thing because that can be very distracting but other wise i dont think that there is a real effect to holding your sneeze because i do it sometimes too

lots of times i begin to get a headache... I ussually don't get to keep it back either... You know how your heart stops for a milisecond when you sneeze? If it feels bad when it stops, usually heart aches for me... but thats just me you know...

I do it all the time and have done it for years. 30 years later and I'm very healthy. This is a question to ask an ears, nose, and throat doctor. He is the only one who will know for sure.
