About This Article
If you’re looking for a good excuse to get out of school, try an old classic like telling your parents you’re feeling sick. Use symptoms that sound serious and are easy to fake, like a terrible stomachache, headache, or cramps. Another option is to pretend your friend is having an emergency and you need to be there for them, or that you’re having a rough time and need a mental health day. You can also fib about school being canceled or let out early, but be careful—your parents might check with the school. Need an excuse to tell your teachers? You could call in sick, say you have an urgent appointment, or tell them you have a family emergency.
