eat lots of fruits and veggies and lots of fibers, this happens to my little sister over winter break, spring break and summer break, basically anytime that she is allowed junk food, she over does it and can't get a normal bowel movement.

That normally happens when ur eating junk food , so start eating healthier from now on, and to make ur self do a poo now drink plenty of water , and eat some fibre that'll make u poo (weetabix). :)
