<p>Who hates being sick and having to stay home? I despise it so much!!! I should be at school taking the Sunshine State Standards, but I'm at home and feeling like I"m dying!! ahhhhh. So who else hates being sick? :)</p>
<p>I hate it too, wasting precious time.</p>
<p>Same, I hate being sick because I get so behind in school and have tons of homework the day I return to class. I've heard of people getting sick on purpose so that they have an excuse to miss school, but I don't see the point in feeling awful to miss school.</p>
<p>Hm, the ironic part is I never call sick when I'm actually sick, but often call sick when I'm not sick and just have work to finish...</p>
<p>it was fun in grade school where you didn't really have to put any effort into school. now it's just a pain to make up work</p>

<p>Ditto. </p>
<p>I like to give myself a break from school every once in a while when I know there won't be very much to make up the next day.</p>

<p>same here.</p>
<p>It seems like everyone at my school is sick now, but we're all IB nerds, so we force ourselves to go to school. :)</p>
<p>Im in college, and I'm sick right now. It sucks, but I still go to class.</p>
<p>About once a year I'll take a mental health day (although I didn't last year because my work load was too much to handle it...)</p>
<p>From time to time I take days off when i just don't feel like going to school, and I know i won't be missing all that much. I usually don't miss for being sick unless it's really bad.</p>
<p>I usually only miss school if I absolutely have to. Last year I just missed a half day, but that was for an opportunity that I thought was too good to turn down. It ended up being totally worth it too. Anyway, I usually just go to school sick anyway. Just because you're sick doesn't mean you have to go out of your way to impress anybody like usual. Just keep a low profile and cover your mouth when you cough. And perhaps load up on a few decongestants and cough drops if that's your thing. </p>
<p>To the OP: If you feel good enough to get out of bed, you can go to school. That's my theory.</p>
<p>In elementary school and middle school, sure, I liked being home with a fever or a cold, but once you're in high school, fever means sucking it up because vomiting in the nurses office IS worth not having to make up work. Sad, eh?</p>

<p>same here!</p>
<p>Last year I took two "Mental health" days because I had overloaded myself and just couldn't do it anymore. My mom actually forced me to stay home. XD</p>
<p>Every once in a while I'll take the day off and just relax, especially around midterms/finals when all we're doing is reviewing and I can do that on my own.</p>
