    There isn't a right or wrong answer here. It's down to what the person prefers, I suppose.

    Some people might prefer a quick shower, while others prefer a long soak in the bath.

    For me, I'm in the middle somewhere...I like to have a bath but don't stay in there too long because I also get dry skin.

    How about you?

    Echoing what @Maisy said, there is no such thing as ‘normal’ when it comes to bathtime, as it’s based on personal preference really!

    For me it changes with my mood, if I’m feeling stressed (or cold) I prefer a long bath, maybe an hour plus, as it relaxes me, but other days I prefer a quick 10 minute shower! What do you prefer?
    Keep fighting the good fight!

    Hello @ellie2000

    Just wanted to add that depending on someones mood they may feel like spending a short time or long time in the bath/shower. Also depends if someone is having a quick wash or washing their hair or pampering themselves!

    @LydsRose9 An hour plus?? I thought I was the only one who spends so much time having a bath, my parents always got angry at me for taking so long haha, and I rarely have it for over an hour. That's cool tho, interesting to hear that I'm not the only one taking so long here :)

    Hello @ellie2000

    How are you doing?

    Has something happened today? I noticed you mentioned someone being nasty and feeling panicked.

    Not really been in that situation myself. I would personally stay, but if you're feeling really overwhelmed then maybe its okay to leave and just explain yourself to the teacher later.

    In terms of the nasty person. I wouldn't say that at all, it will only make things worse in my opinion. I'd say to just ignore them and try your best to not let them know they upset you.

    Hope you're okay @ellie2000 :)
