Recent research has revealed that there is a specific function for the appendix. It is: a store-house for all of the microbes that naturally occur in our Gut. When our normal intestinal flora becomes diminished or depleted by 'gut-flushing' diseases such as cholera or dysentery, the 'ware-housed' store of 'intestinal flora' is released from the Appendix to repopulate our intestines with good bacteria after the danger has passed.

Can teachers not let you go the the bathroom?
Well I just sneak out of the classroom then come back...
Or, if it's not possible to sneak out, just walk out of the classroom when the need becomes unbearable. Urine is filled with poison that, if left in the blood, would have killed you, so Nature intended on it leaving your body in a timely fashion, roughly every 3 to 4 hours. If you need to go so badly that it hurts, try to disengage from whatever you are doing and go. If you make a regular habit of waiting - and too many people do - you will definitely eventually harm your urinary tract health. If, however, it is a rare occurrence that you need to hold it back, flex the muscles that are used to stop the flow of urine (pelvic floor muscles) and try to keep from moving around (you will feel like jumping around but that will only make it worse), don't let anything press against your lower abdomen, and try to stay as calm as you can. As soon as it's possible in any way to break away from the situation you're involved in, do so.
