Skipping school can be quite difficult. If you're going to pretend to be sick, taking a day off from school will require some preparation and considerable acting skills. Even if you miss class for a valid reason, unfinished assignments will accumulate. But there are days when you have absolutely no energy to go to school! It is for such cases that you will need our tips on how to convince your parents to keep you at home - for real or fictitious reasons.

Let's pretend


Stay home if you are in any kind of shock

For example, if you recently lost a family member, friend, or other person you were close to, your grief is a valid reason to stay home from school. Be honest with your parents about how much the loss has affected you.

  • If tragedy befalls you but not your parents, you may think it will be difficult for them to understand you. Grief is a universal emotion, and most people can put themselves in your shoes and give you time to process the loss.
  • However, you should understand that the period of sadness must end someday. Intense sadness can last for quite a long time, and you may find it difficult to extricate yourself from the situation. If you feel that after a few days to a week you are still unable to go to school, you may want to talk to a psychologist and ask for help with your grief.

Be honest if you are being bullied at school

If you are the victim of a bully or group of bullies at school, talk to your parents or other people close to you about it. Explain how difficult your school life has become as a result of bullying, and ask to be allowed to stay away from school for a day or two until things settle down.

  • Many students make the mistake of not talking about being bullied. You may worry that you will be seen as weak, called a wimp, or that you will make things worse by talking about it. Things won't get better if you don't take steps to stop bullying, and during your teenage years, asking parents, teachers, and other adults for help is one of the most effective ways to stop bullying.
  • Bullying can have long-term effects, such as causing anxiety, depression or insomnia. Protect your future by speaking up about bullying when it occurs.


Ask to skip school

Tell Mom and Dad you want to spend a special day with them and let them take the day off from work. This plan might work especially if you're about to graduate from high school and enroll in higher education in another city, or if it will be an easy work day for you and your parents (for example, you don't have any tests and your parents don't have urgent assignments at work ).

Get permission for a “mental health” day

It's important to talk to your parents about anxiety and stress. Adults often forget how difficult school life can be, when in fact, stress levels during school are quite high. If you're experiencing normal school-related stress, you may find it more helpful to deal with it and get through it. If stress, anxiety and depression become more serious problems, talk to a parent or counselor and ask for a day away from school.

  • If you think you may be developing a serious mental health problem, such as depression or anxiety, ask your parents to make an appointment with your doctor. This may signal the seriousness of your problem to your parents, and if you do have some kind of disorder, then going to the doctor will help you monitor your condition.


Stay at home if weather or environmental conditions require it

If there is a severe storm, flood, or other circumstance that makes traveling to school dangerous, your school may close for a period of time. If the weather conditions are dangerous, but the school does not close for some reason, you are better off staying home early.

  • Parents or teachers can usually help you determine if the weather conditions are severe enough to warrant staying home, so you may not have to convince anyone of anything. If your parents are staying home because of the weather, they will be more willing to keep you home too.

Be late on purpose

Incorporate some delays into your morning routine, finishing your morning routine a few minutes later so that you won't be able to get to school on time.

  • Dress very slowly. Get your breakfast dirty so you have to change clothes. Get dressed again...very slowly.
  • Pretend that you can't find something you need, like one shoe or a pair of sportswear. Find it eventually, but let it take you 5-10 minutes.
  • Complain loudly that you are having a bad day; shed a tear if necessary. If you're lucky, your parent will sympathize with you and let you stay at home.
  • Understand that your tardiness affects others, such as your parents, who need to be at work on time. Realize that you are putting their job at risk and decide if missing school is worth it.

Miss the bus

  • Missing the bus could be an accident, or it could be a plan. In any case, if you miss the bus, you may not get to school if your parents leave for work early in the morning or if they don't have time to drive you to school.
  • Arrive at the bus stop just as the bus leaves. You don't want your plan to miss the bus to seem too obvious. However, you should take a long time to walk home from the bus stop after missing the bus. If you're lucky, your parents won't have time to drop you off at school by the time you get home.
  • If your parents are no longer there when you miss the bus, be sure to let them know after it is too late for them to come back for you. You should sound a little disappointed about missing class so your parents don't suspect that you missed the bus on purpose. You might mention, for example, that you're sorry to miss a really cool experiment that should have happened in chemistry, physics, or biology class.
  • If one parent is still at home after you miss the bus, they may offer to give you a ride to school on the way to work. Act out a scene about how you don't want your parent to be late for work. Tell him that you are prepared for the consequences that may arise from your tardiness, but you do not want your tardiness to affect your parent's work. However, don't push too hard. It may be very easy for your parents to spot a lie.

Lose an item

You can't go to school without your textbooks or homework flash drive, right? Search everywhere. The more cluttered your home is, the easier it will be for you to prolong your search so you'll be late for school.

  • The smaller the item, the easier it is to “lose” it. For example, your mom will have a hard time believing that you lost your backpack or laptop.
  • The more important the item, the more likely it will seem that you will skip school if you don't find it. Losing glasses or contact lenses, for example, is more important than losing a notebook, as it will affect your ability to study throughout your workday (and depending on how poor your eyesight is, it may also affect whether you will you bump into things).
  • If you drive to school by yourself, you may lose your keys. However, if this becomes a habit, the consequences may be bad (for example, your parents may not allow you to drive to school and will force you to take the bus to get there).

We provide documentary evidence

  1. Encourage your parent or guardian to call the school. This is standard procedure. Your parent or guardian will have to call the school and explain that you will not be able to attend.
    • For most schools, a call from a parent or guardian will be sufficient. In schools with stricter rules, however, you will have to resort to an official exemption, so you will need to check the school rules. The essence of this practice is to reduce the number of unexcused absences and keep records of illnesses.
  2. Call the school yourself if allowed. Most schools require the student's parent or guardian to call, regardless of age, but some schools allow the student to call.
  3. Get a doctor's note. If you have a long-term illness, your school may require a doctor's note from you, your parents, guardians or other family members stating that you are indeed ill and need time to recover.
    • A certificate from a pediatrician or therapist will be required if your illness continues beyond a certain time. The exact timing may vary from school to school, so you may want to check your school's rules to know at what point a doctor's note becomes mandatory. This time usually varies from 3 to 10 days, 10 days is usually more common.

Typical school excuses

  • You can warn your parents in advance that tomorrow your class has an excursion, a hike, a competition, an Olympiad, in which you do not want to participate or cannot because you are sick, you were not accepted, etc.
  • In the end, be late and they may not let you into school, class, excursion, or competition.
  • Let the teachers themselves “get sick”, or “send” them to a teacher’s competition. Helps!
  • Being on duty is a wonderful way out of a situation when you don’t know what to think of. Be outraged that everyone was forced to wash and scrub again. Are you a cleaner or what?
  • In our age of technology, every student has a mobile phone. After the first lesson, tell the teacher that your mother called and asked you to urgently pick up your younger sister (brother) from kindergarten because she (he) has a high temperature. Mom can’t leave work, dad is also very busy, and grandma lives in another city. Therefore, today you will look after the sick child.
  • You hide your backpack at school, and when class starts, you are loudly indignant and shout that the backpack with all the textbooks and notebooks has disappeared, and you guess where it could have been hidden. You leave to look and come to the end of the lesson. Don't forget to get your backpack a little dirty so you can say you found it at the stadium or in the cleaners' back room. The main thing is to look very upset.
  • Come with your finger (or fingers) wrapped in a bandage and say that you knocked them out while playing basketball (volleyball). Broken fingers become very swollen and painful. Thus, you can not write for a whole week, but this will not save you from verbal responses.
  • Stay up all night at the computer. In the morning your eyes will be red and swollen. Approach the teacher with a sad look and say that you feel very bad, you have a headache and a sore throat. Your appearance will confirm this. If you are sent to the first aid station and it turns out that you do not have a temperature, then tell the nurse that your temperature rarely rises above 37, but you feel that you are getting sick.
  • You can also go to school and return 15-20 minutes later, telling your parents that the heating in the school has broken down, the classrooms are cold, repair work is underway and everyone has been sent home.
  • Or say that the school undergoes a medical examination of all schoolchildren. Doctors said that today they are examining only girls (or only boys), or only grades 1-4, and the rest have been sent home.
  • You need to get up in the morning and calmly get ready for school, as if nothing had happened. And even leave home. But you don’t need to come to school, and you don’t need to catch the eye of your classmates (if they are not in the know). They will hand over with all the giblets, that’s how they are! How to spend your time – decide for yourself. We don’t recommend sitting in hallways, but doing something useful, like visiting a movie theater or a cafe with a couple of friends, is always nice. And don’t even think about having a party at home! In the evening, neighbors may inadvertently blurt out to your parents that you were noisy, and then you will have an extremely unpleasant conversation. The consequences can be enormous, even leading you by the hand to the threshold of the school for six months, which will greatly amuse everyone around you, except yourself, of course.
  • What kind of truancy can bring pleasure? The one where the parents are to blame. It does not always work and is not suitable for everyone. It is required that your parents leave for work before you get up for school and that you have a lock on your door that can only be opened and closed with a key. In the evening you need to quietly say that you have lost the keys to your house. So that your parents seem to hear you, but it seems they don’t. In the morning, sleep peacefully until they leave and lock the door with their key. Then, about 30 minutes later, call your mom and say in a panic that you are already late, and they locked you out, and you warned her the evening before that you had lost your key! We need to groan, sigh, and sigh more. Usually parents are in no hurry to return home to unlock the student. And now, a whole day of legally relaxing at home awaits you! And you are almost not even to blame for what happened.
  • If neither method works, then you really need to get sick. What you need for this: wash, don’t dry yourself, go out onto the balcony or any cool place, stand for five, ten, fifteen minutes, depending on the temperature “overboard”, your own stamina and the degree of suspicion of your parents. Tonight, most likely, your throat will start to hurt, and tomorrow morning you will have no fever at all.
    You can, of course, get hurt on the asphalt or get hurt in a physical education lesson, but falling through with a real broken leg seems like an uninteresting activity.

My head hurts, my throat hurts, my stomach hurts, I had to go to the doctor to check my eyesight, to the dentist, to the pediatrician for an annual examination, but you never know what you can think of!))

ASKA ME!

yes yes leg arm head belly throat all together!!

Well, try “twisting your ankle.” However, there is a risk that they will send you to a doctor.
A little make-up like “bruises under the eyes” and pale foundation and to the teacher - “Oh, I feel so bad, I’m really sick. Maybe I was poisoned by something? We bought smoked fish yesterday, maybe it was stale? “And a hand to your throat. The same can be done for parents - a moaning voice from the toilet, only for a more real reason.

Nadya Tarapata

Ahaha, yes, everything is simple here, take a thermometer and measure the temperature, and when the parents leave, tap your hand with the blunt end several times and the temperature will rise (but only with mercury)) ahaha

I remembered my childhood, I personally got up specifically at 5 in the morning, and while the kids were sleeping, I took kefir from the refrigerator, drank it, and ate walnuts, whatever came my way, I ate everything, literally after a couple of hours I got very bloated, and in the toilet I sat there for about an hour, so I didn’t go to school like that 🙂 advice, don’t do this very often, because they’ll burn you because you’re constantly farting before school), one day my dad burned me, he realized something was wrong 🙂 he woke up early and saw that I came in I go to the kitchen and start eating anything, oh, I remember my butt was red, it was painful to sit down 🙂 in general, good luck with your fantasies,

Warnings

  1. Face the real reason. Ask yourself why you don't want to go to school. If you want to hide from an abuser or avoid another serious problem, you should better look for solutions to the problem rather than run away from it. This will make your life happier and healthier in the future.
  2. Don't skip school. Go through all the options your school provides for accounting for absences. If you skip school without a reason or a call from your parents, you will be considered truant and you could get into serious trouble as a result.
  3. Find out what you're missing. You will have a harder time catching up with your grade in some subjects than in others. Before you stay home from school, you might want to think about how difficult it will be for you to catch up with class when you return, and whether missing school is worth the effort. This is especially important if you are pretending to be sick or staying home for a reason that is not very important.
  4. Consider the consequences. You can stay home for a real reason, or pretend to be sick if you don't have a real reason to be absent. Either way, missing one or more days of school can make your life more difficult later on.

Dear friends, especially schoolchildren! We've all been in your shoes, so we know how much you sometimes don't want to go to school. Especially when you spent half the night in contact, discussing with the girl-boy you liked how you would spend Saturday evening. At such moments, you don’t even think about the fact that in three hours the nasty alarm clock will start ringing. And then, when the damned drill does sound and comes to consciousness the third time, you cannot open your eyes and sleepily wonder what you can say to your beloved parents so that they officially allow you to skip school just once!

As luck would have it, parents are people who do not intend to make life easier for their family and friends, their only and adored children under any circumstances. Probably, when a person becomes a parent himself, some hidden genetic code is triggered, which deletes all memories of the time when the adult himself was a teenage child. How else can one explain the fact that parents do not want to understand the completely normal desire of children to occasionally skip classes? There are simply no other explanations.
From about 8th grade, I personally realized how strong the desire to run away from classes can be, and even not show up at school for one day at all. Soon I fully mastered the skill of absenteeism. Fortunately, the experience of numerous friends and classmates helped. So, rejoice, schoolchildren! Today the truancy guru will share his secrets

The simplest, and at the same time the most difficult, is to honestly go to your parents and ask them to allow you to stay at home one time a year. In this case, it is advisable to rehearse the conversation in front of the mirror before doing this. You need to learn how to make a sweet face with incredibly touching eyes, like the cat from Shrek. At the same time, it is necessary to add without hesitation that today at school there are still only two lessons, and one of them is physical education, and the second is life safety. Any sane parent can take this bait and think: “Oh, it was there, it wasn’t! I’ll leave my child at home, why should I go to school for these two lessons? It’s not algebra!” In general, the method is not bad, and it can work, but you can only use it once or twice a year. So take it on board!

Why even say anything to mom and dad?

Go ahead. Sometimes telling your parents that you are going to stay away from school is not necessary at all. Well, why, pray tell, bother busy people with such nonsense? Parents need to be protected from such little things in life. Moreover, if dad and mom suspect something is wrong, the truancy plan may be disrupted. So the main thing is that parents don’t find out. And at school, as a rule, they turn a blind eye to a single absence. Who needs to keep an eye on you? Now, if you sat at home for a month, the alarm would be raised. But they usually don’t pay attention to one day. If something happens, lie that you went to a medical examination at the clinic - they don’t check such information.


This is the action plan. You need to get up in the morning and calmly get ready for school, as if nothing had happened. And even leave home. But you don’t need to come to school, and you don’t need to catch the eye of your classmates (if they are not in the know). They will hand over with all the giblets, that’s how they are! How to spend your time – decide for yourself. We don’t recommend sitting in hallways, but doing something useful, like visiting a movie theater or a cafe with a couple of friends, is always nice. And don’t even think about having a party at home! In the evening, neighbors may inadvertently blurt out to your parents that you were noisy, and then you will have an extremely unpleasant conversation. The consequences can be enormous, even leading you by the hand to the threshold of the school for six months, which will greatly amuse everyone around you, except yourself, of course.

My head, little head...

If you have already tried both methods, and everything worked out, and the desire to skip classes has become obsessive, consider the following ways to excuse yourself from lessons in front of your parents. A very true and common reason - headache. Really, why can't you get a headache? You are a living person! And you probably live in a terribly polluted city, where there hasn’t been clean air for a hundred years. Therefore, the fact that you have a headache is generally natural. Selflessly lie in the morning that you have a terrible headache, that you had it since the night, so you slept poorly, suffered from insomnia, counted sheep and now you not only have an illness, but also your eyes are sticking together. Rare parents will not complain. 90% out of 100 - they will leave you at home to sleep, they will also give you a pill for a headache, and maybe they will pour you some sweet tea.

Am I to blame...

Now about the pleasant things. What kind of truancy can bring pleasure? The one where the parents are to blame. It does not always work and is not suitable for everyone. It is required that your parents leave for work before you get up for school and that you have a lock on your door that can only be opened and closed with a key. In the evening you need to quietly say that you have lost the keys to your house. So that your parents seem to hear you, but it seems they don’t. In the morning, sleep peacefully until they leave and lock the door with their key. Then, about 30 minutes later, call your mom and say in a panic that you are already late, and they locked you out, and you warned her the evening before that you had lost your key! We need to groan, sigh, and sigh more. Usually parents are in no hurry to return home to unlock the student. And now, a whole day of legally relaxing at home awaits you! And you are almost not even to blame for what happened.

There is an elevator in Africa too

Another option is that the elevator is stuck. The ideal solution for unexpected absenteeism. Again, you need to call your parents and report with horror in your voice that you are stuck in the elevator, you pressed the panic button, but there are no technicians. It is clear that in the morning the repair crews are not particularly in a hurry to respond to calls, so your words will sound convincing. The only catch is the neighbors. They can easily tell parents that the elevator was working. And especially harmful ancestors can go in the evening to sort things out with the elevator operators. After all, the child skipped school through their fault! You understand what such a showdown can lead to. In general, there is a risk. But those who don’t take risks don’t drink champagne... hmm, sorry, soda! So you can try to do something like this once, maybe it will work.

Sleep is the best medicine... for school!

And the last option for today. The simplest and most effective. Don't want to go to school? So sleep it off! But, of course, it’s not your fault, it’s the alarm clock that’s broken. Again, you need acting skills. To call your parents and scream in horror that you overslept, the vile traitor alarm clock didn’t wake you up. In this case, it is advisable to really somehow spoil the alarm clock a little (the parents can check it). And don’t forget to mention in your conversation with your parents that today there are only three lessons, and you have already skipped one and a half of them, not of your own free will, but due to tragic circumstances. As a rule, parents take such explanations at face value and leave their children at home.
So, now you know a few specific ways to skip class. Personally, I and my friends used them. But at the same time, dear students of today reading this article, we studied well. You just need to skip in such a way that there is no damage to your knowledge. And for this you need not to be lazy. For example, work like a horse for a week, and then sleep for a day. By the way, when you have excellent grades in the magazine, teachers trust you more, and parents are more relaxed about rare absences. So the truth is simple - you need to walk wisely. And without a mind there is nothing to do in this world!

So that your parents believe that you are really sick and allow you not to go to school for a while and sit at home.

This article is specifically devoted to the question of how to pretend that you are sick and so that everyone around you believes that you are really sick. In addition, we will tell you about how you can quickly get sick with a sore throat or the flu at home.

In fact, there are a lot of ways to pretend to be ill, and recently many boys and girls have come up with even more ways to feign illness so as not to go to school. Therefore, it is not at all necessary to eat icicles or ice cream in the cold so as not to go to school in the morning - below you will find the best ways to get sick in 1 minute... well, in extreme cases, in 5 minutes, simply by simulating an illness at home.

HOW TO GET SICK QUICKLY IN A MINUTE

So, let's begin:

Method number 1

Keep a jar of ground pepper with you and as soon as one of the adults is near you, quietly open the jar and smell the pepper. Your eyes will become red and you will sneeze so much that adults will think that you are really sick. This method is more suitable for boys. How can a girl get sick in 1 minute?

Method number 2

The next method is perfect for girls. If you rub your eyes hard with painted eyelashes, they will become red and watery from the mascara that has gotten into them. Your household will think that you have a cold and your nose is starting to runny. Tell them that you feel dizzy and feel unwell. 5 minutes of the “I have a cold” skit and don’t go to school for lessons for a couple of days!

Method number 3

An option that will help you get sick in 5 minutes... or rather, cause cold or flu symptoms at home. How to quickly “raise” the temperature in your home? A simple trick will help us deceive the thermometer - while measuring the temperature, quietly pull out the thermometer (mercury) from under your arm, wrap it in a rag and quickly breathe warm air onto it. As an option, you can rub your armpits with salt before taking your temperature. But don’t overdo it - just raise the temperature to a cold-like 37 degrees.

What to do next? Pretend to be sick with a cold. If you heat your forehead with a lamp or hairdryer, you will get the effect of high temperature. In the morning, pretend to be lethargic and apathetic. Make a sour face and say that you don’t want to eat and you feel sick. Periodically run to the bathroom, pour from the roof into the toilet, making gagging sounds. You are guaranteed not to go to school on this day!

Method number 4

How to become sick quickly? There is a reliable and proven way to get sick in 5 minutes. This method can quickly make the temperature high, although it will quickly drop to normal. In any case, you can skip the difficult test. So, take a small piece of bread and drop a couple of drops of iodine on it. All that remains is to undress him thoroughly and swallow him.

HOW TO REALLY GET SICK AT HOME

Method number 5

This and subsequent methods will help you not to imitate the disease, but to get really sick, but in a mild form. These options are useful for students who are very tired from studying and want to relax at home for a week. But remember! The main thing is not to overdo it and follow our instructions - after all, we want to take a break from school, and not suffer from a serious illness...

Experts provoke the appearance of a mild form of sore throat like this: spend 5 minutes in a light shirt on the balcony or lie in ice water in the bathroom for 10 minutes. After one of these procedures, drink a glass of cold water. 5 minutes of work and a week of rest from homework and school lessons after that...

Method number 6

A method similar to the previous one. Walk around in thin clothes in the cold for half an hour and then drink a glass of cold water at home. If there are pieces of ice in the refrigerator, place them on a rag and stand on top with your bare feet. After this, drink another glass of cold water. In the morning you will feel the result.

Method number 7

A very effective way to catch a mild viral disease at home. Stand for 5 minutes without a hat in the cold. Then go visit a friend who already has a viral cold. You will do two useful things - you will visit a friend and catch a cold virus from him. Chat with your sick friend longer, drink tea from the same glass with him... by the evening you will go to bed and be free from school for at least a week.

Method number 8

Another proven option to get a sore throat very quickly. It must be cold outside. Get excited - run, jump, climb into the snowdrifts. Then just stand for 10 minutes in the cold and chew on the icicle a little. Do not eat food at home on this day,

Skipping school can be quite difficult. If you're going to pretend to be sick, taking a day off from school will require some preparation and considerable acting skills. Even if you miss class for a valid reason, unfinished assignments will accumulate. But there are days when you have absolutely no energy to go to school! It is for such cases that you will need our tips on how to convince your parents to keep you at home - for real or fictitious reasons.

Steps

Part 1

Let's pretend

    Plan ahead. It's more likely that your parents will believe you when you get up in the morning and say you're not feeling well if you set the stage the previous evening.

    • The sooner you start pretending to be sick, the more time you have to show how your condition is getting worse. Show some fatigue the night before. For example, instead of walking outside after school, stay home and lie in your room.
    • Be lethargic in front of your parents. They should get the impression that you are tired and have no energy. In the evening, do not stick to your usual routine. If you are watching TV, lie down and show no interest in anything. You should also go to bed earlier and make sure your parents notice.
    • Add fire to the performance - eat very little at dinner or try to eat something, but clutch your stomach as if you were in sharp pain. Say you don't feel well. Naturally, skip dessert. You can also ask your parents to give you some hot tea to calm your stomach.
    • Tell your parents that your classmate threw up at school or that your friend missed school. Make sure it's a friend your parents don't know. This information will add fuel to the fire.
  1. Demonstrate symptoms. Outwardly visible symptoms, such as a rash, are difficult to portray convincingly, so in most cases you should show external signs of internal pain.

    Be unobtrusive but convincing. One of the biggest mistakes is overacting. If you act out your imaginary illness too dramatically, your parents may catch on to the falsehood.

    • It's best to act out a simple ailment rather than pretend you have some illness that requires proof. Trying to make a vomiting sound can be quite risky, as your parents may catch you in a lie. Likewise, if you want to fake a high temperature and dip the thermometer into something hot, it may backfire on you.
    • Don't protest too much when your parents ask you not to go to school. You may find that acting out your worries about missing class may be more convincing, while trying too hard to stay home may make you suspicious. But don't forget that if you really felt as terrible as you pretend to, your parents wouldn't have to convince you to stay home. Be hesitant before you agree, but don't act like you're too worried about missing school, especially if that worry doesn't apply to your role.
  2. Don't get better too quickly. Never forget that your parents may take you to school later if they realize that you have recovered or that you were faking it. If you want to skip school by pretending to be sick, you should maintain that imaginary illness throughout the school day.

    • You should recover gradually throughout the day. Rest and be relaxed. By lunchtime, you might mention that you're starting to feel better, but you're not recovered yet. By late evening your recovery should be almost complete.
  3. Don't pretend to be sick too often. If you pretend to be sick too often, your parents may not believe you when you actually feel sick and need to stay home.

    Part 2

    We don't pretend
    1. Tell your parents if you are sick. This is the most common reason why students miss school. If you really don't feel well or think you might be sick, tell your parents and ask to be kept at home.

      Stay home if you experience any shock. For example, if you recently lost a family member, friend, or other person you were close to, your grief is a valid reason to stay home from school. Be honest with your parents about how much the loss has affected you.

      • If tragedy befalls you but not your parents, you may think it will be difficult for them to understand you. Grief is a universal emotion, and most people can put themselves in your shoes and give you time to process the loss.
      • However, you should understand that the period of sadness must end someday. Intense sadness can last for quite a long time, and you may find it difficult to extricate yourself from the situation. If you feel that after a few days to a week you are still unable to go to school, you may want to talk to a psychologist and ask for help with your grief.
    2. Be honest if you are being bullied at school. If you are the victim of a bully or group of bullies at school, talk to your parents or other people close to you about it. Explain how difficult your school life has become as a result of bullying, and ask to be allowed to stay away from school for a day or two until things settle down.

      Ask to skip school. Tell Mom and Dad you want to spend a special day with them and let them take the day off from work. This plan might work especially if you're about to graduate from high school and enroll in higher education in another city, or if it will be an easy work day for you and your parents (for example, you don't have any tests and your parents don't have urgent assignments at work ).

      Get permission for a “mental health” day. It's important to talk to your parents about anxiety and stress. Adults often forget how difficult school life can be, when in fact, stress levels during school are quite high. If you're experiencing normal school-related stress, you may find it more helpful to deal with it and get through it. If stress, anxiety and depression become more serious problems, talk to a parent or counselor and ask for a day away from school.

      • If you think you may be developing a serious mental health problem, such as depression or anxiety, ask your parents to make an appointment with your doctor. This may signal the seriousness of your problem to your parents, and if you do have some kind of disorder, then going to the doctor will help you monitor your condition.
    3. Stay at home if weather or environmental conditions require it. If there is a severe storm, flood, or other circumstance that makes traveling to school dangerous, your school may close for a period of time. If the weather conditions are dangerous, but the school does not close for some reason, you are better off staying home early.

      • Parents or teachers can usually help you determine if the weather conditions are severe enough to warrant staying home, so you may not have to convince anyone of anything. If your parents are staying home because of the weather, they will be more willing to keep you home too.
    4. Consider other special circumstances. A family vacation or a visit from a distant relative may be a reason to miss school, but don't miss school for such reasons too often. Compare what you might miss if you go to school versus what you might miss if you stay home, and discuss with your parents whether you should miss school.

      • Please note that the school does not usually consider such reasons valid. If your school is one of these, you should tell your parents so that they inform the school that you will be absent, without explaining the reason.
      • Typically, if you know in advance that you will be absent from school, it is a good idea for your parent or guardian to write a note that you can bring a few days in advance. This will give teachers time to prepare assignments for you.

    Part 3

    We're stalling for time
    1. Be late on purpose. Incorporate some delays into your morning routine, finishing your morning routine a few minutes later so that you won't be able to get to school on time.

      • Dress very slowly. Get your breakfast dirty so you have to change clothes. Get dressed again...very slowly.
      • Pretend that you can't find something you need, like one shoe or a pair of sportswear. Find it eventually, but let it take you 5-10 minutes.
      • Complain loudly that you are having a bad day; shed a tear if necessary. If you're lucky, your parent will sympathize with you and let you stay at home.
      • Understand that your tardiness affects others, such as your parents, who need to be at work on time. Realize that you are putting their job at risk and decide if missing school is worth it.
    2. Miss the bus. Missing the bus could be an accident, or it could be a plan. In any case, if you miss the bus, you may not get to school if your parents leave for work early in the morning or if they don't have time to drive you to school.

      Lose an item. You can't go to school without your textbooks or homework flash drive, right? Search everywhere. The more cluttered your home is, the easier it will be for you to prolong your search so you'll be late for school.

      • The smaller the item, the easier it is to “lose” it. For example, your mom will have a hard time believing that you lost your backpack or laptop.
      • The more important the item, the more likely it will seem that you will skip school if you don't find it. Losing glasses or contact lenses, for example, is more important than losing a notebook, as it will affect your ability to study throughout your workday (and depending on how poor your eyesight is, it may also affect whether you will you bump into things).
      • If you drive to school by yourself, you may lose your keys. However, if this becomes a habit, the consequences may be bad (for example, your parents may not allow you to drive to school and will force you to take the bus to get there).

    Call the school yourself if allowed. Most schools require the student's parent or guardian to call, regardless of age, but some schools allow the student to call.

  4. Get a doctor's note. If you have a long-term illness, your school may require a doctor's note from you, your parents, guardians or other family members stating that you are indeed ill and need time to recover.

    • A certificate from a pediatrician or therapist will be required if your illness continues beyond a certain time. The exact timing may vary from school to school, so you may want to check your school's rules to know at what point a doctor's note becomes mandatory. This time usually varies from 3 to 10 days, 10 days is usually more common.

Warnings

  • Face the real reason. Ask yourself why you don't want to go to school. If you want to hide from an abuser or avoid another serious problem, you should better look for solutions to the problem rather than run away from it. This will make your life happier and healthier in the future.
  • Don't skip school. Go through all the options your school provides for accounting for absences. If you skip school without a reason or a call from your parents, you will be considered truant and you could get into serious trouble as a result.
  • Find out what you're missing. You will have a harder time catching up with your grade in some subjects than in others. Before you stay home from school, you might want to think about how difficult it will be for you to catch up with class when you return, and whether missing school is worth the effort. This is especially important if you are pretending to be sick or staying home for a reason that is not very important.
  • Consider the consequences. You can stay home for a real reason, or pretend to be sick if you don't have a real reason to be absent. Either way, missing one or more days of school can make your life more difficult later on.

The most honest way is to simply tell your mother: “I really don’t want to go to school, can I not go?” Surprisingly, this method sometimes works. A mother loves her child and does not want him to suffer. As an adult, she understands that sometimes a person needs to be given a “bonus”, so it is possible that she will meet you halfway. Let's make a reservation: this method works extremely rarely, so you need to try it no more than once a month.

A good interpretation of the previous option: agree in advance with your mother about a “bonus” day off. Ask yourself one extra day off a month; it’s unlikely that a mother will deny her child such a trifle. The disadvantage of this method: parents understand perfectly well that they will be able to blackmail you with this in the future, demanding obedience. Plus: you will know in advance that on such and such a day you will not be able to go to school without “excuses.”

Not entirely honest ways

A good, effective way without harming your health: a room with keys. You take your keys and put them in your mother's bag. In the morning, mom leaves for work, and 10 minutes later you call her on the phone and start shouting: “Where are my keys? Why did you take my keys? Mom rummages in her purse and finds the keys, after which she calls you.

Further events can develop in two ways. If mom is a busy person, she will tell you to find spare keys. You, of course, won’t find them and will go to bed peacefully. If mom's work schedule allows her to return, she will return and bring you the keys. This way you can take one or two walks, which is also good.

Completely dishonest methods

A completely dishonest method is the classic simulation of illness. All methods are good here: from the banal “headache” to a full-scale simulation of pneumonia with fever and redness. It is better to limit yourself to “minor simulation”, since more complex methods involve the ingestion of various substances and drugs. Of course, if you want to go to the hospital instead of school and experience unforgettable minutes during gastric lavage (from all sides), then you can swallow all sorts of nasty things. But we do not recommend doing this.

The temperature can be raised using completely harmless methods. For example, wrap a thermometer in the corner of a duvet cover or sheet and start blowing intensely into it. The temperature inside the fabric will rise and the thermometer will show the desired mark. After this, you can lean back languidly on the bed, put the thermometer under your arm and call your mother. One caveat: if mom realizes that she is being deceived, trust will be lost forever, and it will be very difficult to establish contact with her in the future.
