Talk to your parents.
This is called constipation and it can be caused by many things.
It will usually pass in a few days but if you are already feeling uncomfortable, talk to your parents or the school nurse.

At this point, getting more fluid is more important than what you eat. Putting in more fiber right now can make things worse by adding bulk upstream from the problem. Go to the pharmacy and get something like Dulcolax - which is a stool softener that draws fluids into the intestines.

try drinking coffee, the caffiene usually stimulates the intestinal tract, also milk usually helps. Stay away from protien, like meats and cheese until you go though, those will only help bind you more. Also try refried beans with sour cream and salsa. I knows these foods may not be what you like, but they always usually help me with constipation. Also fast. Take a day for only liquids, and make sure you drink milk on those days usually will help start you going...good luck. BTW, if it hurts, ride it. Buying stool softeners will not help you go, but once you start, they may cause diarriah, also, don't do laxatives....they will overstimulate the intestines, so once you start, you may dry yourself out and start the cycle again, I say try with the stuff above first.

if you haven't pooped in three days you should probably either go to the doctor and get an enema, or if you really don't want to do that, buy an enema kit yourself. the stuff inside you gets hard and can cause problems after three days. you really, really do not want to get a bowel obstruction.
otherwise, milk of magnesia is a mild laxative, and lots of liquids will help. prune juice is also a mild laxative.

Broccoli and cauliflower, esp. raw. Popcorn. Water. If all else fails, try some Citrucel or Metamucil to help you go.

Eat some papaya. It helps a lot. If that doesn't work, go find some MiraLax.
