do you skip school a lot?

not a lot. my school has a system that automatically alerts your parents if you are absent or late lmao. sometimes after i've been away from school because of therapy or somehing i will skip the next lesson because it will say in the system that i still am at therapy (they always write that i will be there for longer than i will be) so i can safely skip without anyone finding out B)
 
I hated missing class in HS. I probably stayed home like once a year when sick. In uni I skip once in a while... Not as much of a big deal to me.
 
No. Once you're an adult and you have to pay like $10,000 a year for school out of your own pocket skipping becomes a pretty stupid idea.
 
I didn't skip school in high school apart from a few days, and I still don't skip school in college. Well. I don't skip at all now that I'm in a grad program, but there were certain classes I didn't mind taking a few days off from in undergrad, but it would still feel like I was missing a lot so I tried not to. I've always been pretty good when it comes to attendance.
 
back when I was in high school I skipped most of my junior year. then I just didn't go for my entire senior year lol.

I have yet to go to college - although since I'd be paying a TON for it I can imagine I would never skip.
 
I never just skipped school, though in middle school I would infrequently play sick. I never did once I got to high school. My friends were all there, I could get my homework done in class, listening to lessons made it so I never needed a textbook (other than for math) and it was nice getting a perfect attendance award. The only year I didn't get the award was in junior year because I got the flu. I had begged my parents to let me go to school but they stayed home to make sure I wouldn't get a ride to school with my friends.
 
I'd skip out during lunch period back when I was in middle school and high school so I could eat at my house. Otherwise... don't skip school kids. ;)
 
Sometimes. I do somewhat care about my grades. As I am only in Year 10 (no idea what that is in America) I can't skip school without my parents knowing.
 
sometimes i wake up and have no energy whatsoever, so i consider faking sick.. but then i think of what i would miss that day and the late assignments that would result from it and that's what motivates me to go.
i only miss school if absolutely necessary. i stayed home on october 26 because i was sick, i missed half of december 16 due to a sore throat (i went in late because i was doing the swimming unit in gym and i really did not want to make that up) and i missed school on monday because i had to go to my grandpa's funeral.
2 and a half days isn't too bad in my opinion
 
There's a difference between being immature and being fun and easy-going. Plenty of adults on here are nice and kind without the use of emoticons and spamming pointless **** about grapefruits.

Uhhhhh Have you not seen your post history.
 
rarely, or let's say only when I got really sick. our school was extremely strict and we would be given hell not only if we skipped a day but also if we forgert to bring anything like the ****ing pen for example.
 
no. if your excuse for skipping school is just because you don't want to attend class, then that's pretty pathetic and stupid imo. i've never skipped and i dont see why i should be effort into it and risking getting caught and getting my ass whooped. missing just one days worth of notes and labs can set you back by a lot. having to study new content on your own as opposed to actually being there in class isn't worth it

edit // i forgot about mental illnesses. i'd say those are an acceptation, but i mean like if you're simply lazy and you dont necessarily have any issues going on and just want to have a good time while classes are ongoing, then that's what my post applies to

I don't necessarily skip school entirely, but I leave early a lot. After lunch, I only have one class that isn't study hall and I don't care for it so I leave at 11:30 at least 3 times a month just for the heck of it.
 
i only ever skip if i know i have homework i haven't done. and i try to do my homework on time most of the time so i don't skip a lot. skipping in itself, for the purpose of just not wanting to go to school without a reason or to just be edgy is stupid

also @OP, i dont know how it works where you live, but did you ever think to yourself your parents might get tried for truancy at the time because of your frequent skipping?
