“I haven't pooped?”
I haven’t pooped in five days and it really hurts to sit and I just have anal discomfort in general. I don’t know what to do. I’ve tried stool softeners and laxatives but nothing is working. I’ve also been drinking more water but it’s still very painful.

It seems like you need an enema. Do you exercise? That helps move the bowels. Type of food also makes a difference. More fruits and vegetables and less processed foods helps move bowels.
You need to go to the emergency room.
You need to take more laxatives or see a pediatrician or pediatric gastroenterologist. Drinking water doesn't help you move your bowels. Take Miralax and dulcolax at the same time, twice per day.
