Have your blood sugar tested just to be safe. Perhaps your diet at school is causing it to drop and I know from a friend who is diabetic that this can cause increased thirst.

That's so funny...but so relatable! Honestly your thirst seems psychological, as weird as that may sound. When your at school, you have to sit around in classrooms 8 hrs out of the day. You don't have the free will to just get up and grab a drink of water in the same way that you can at home. Think of it in this manner...You ever been at a friend's house in which they or their parents seem to offer you everything in the fridge and pantry, and it's always stuff that you don't or can't have at your own home? And of course what you did was enjoy every last bit of it! Or in even easier terms....your friends bag of potato chips always seem to taste better than your own bag! lol It's human nature to want what we can't have or what someone else has, and while you are at school, water is more appealing because it is there and readily available (you don't have to get a cup and get it out of the fridge). Plus, it's different than having water at home. It's totally psychological, we're weird like that. It doesn't sound at all like anything serious because you would be just as thirsty throughout the day. If it is anything more than what you have described than go ahead and let your doctor know. At best, drinking water is really good for you. Hope this was as interesting as it was writing it. I learn silly stuff like this in PSYC 1105 ALL the time! lol

Take a bottle of water to school with you and drink all day! It's good to keep yourself well hydrated. If you are not allowed to drink water at school, then how will you get your required amount of water for the day.
I see no problem with bringing a bottle of water to school and if any teacher says anything about it let them know you have a medical condition called "Diabetes" and you are always thirsty.
They'll shut up and let you drink!
Cheers

You are always thirsty at school because school is a place for learning and thinking. When you learn or think, the brain absorbs a lot of water. Plus you are basically learning the whole time at school.
And maybe its because you walk more at school than at home. You rest at home.

Dry air or allergies could be your problem. The pollen count is very high right now. The dry air makes some very thirsty.
I this continues then I would go to the doctor and have your sugar tested. Just to rule out diabetes.
Good Luck

Have you been tested for Diabetes?> simple painless blood test (just a small poke)can tell alot.One of the symptoms is excessive thirst. Wise to get it checked out. If its Type I Diabetes ,diet and meds could be all you need to get your blood sugar levels under control but pls check it out..

It may be nothing, but, a sign of a diabetic is excessive thirst. Best to let your folks know and have a check up just in case.

It might be dry there. Keep an eye on it though. Thirst can indicate other problems like diabetes.

Are you drinking water while you're at home, but not at school?
If you answered "Yes," then that is the reason.
