Q&A for How to Get a Sick Day off from School Without Going to the Doctor

I wouldn't recommend actually getting sick to stay home from school, since that could land you in the doctor's office, which is even worse than actual school. Instead, complain to your guardian about common syndromes (headache, stomach pains, dry throat, etc. ) Don't say anything too extreme, like 'My stomach hurts so badly I think I'm going to die.' Also, don't pull this stunt too often, or your parents are sure to catch on.

Chicken noodle soup is a classic remedy for colds and other such sicknesses. While it won't solve the problem, the heat will help your throat. Even if you are faking to stay out of school, you might as well have a bowl.

Usually, there's no school during the summer. If you get sick during the summer, however, make sure to rest a little bit and take some medicine, but don't let this stop you from proceeding with fun and casual summer activities.

If you feel sick and you need help, yes, wake up your dad.

Look on the bright side - at least you don't have to sit through boring classes all day. Just bring a book or something else to do, or socialize with your friends.

I think if you read this one carefully, it would work. Otherwise, there is a whole category of articles for you for more information, if you search for the "Feigning Illness" category. All of them are good in some way or another.

This whole entire article? Well, yes. It is really up to chance, however. If you are younger, you may want to refrain from doing this, because for it to work you have to be home alone, at least that's what I take from this.

Take medicine to numb your symptoms, act bubbly, excited and upbeat, make small excuses for your sick behavior ('I don't have a cold, just hay fever!'). Stay hydrated and get lots of sleep.

Be open to consequences, make an apology, help out around the house, do extra homework, aim for better grades, and show a lot of remorse for what you did.

Wake up early, tell your mom you have a really bad headache and can't fall back asleep. She'll expect you to want to sleep in more, so this might catch her off guard. Don't attempt to tell her you have a stomachache or a cold because she'll want evidence.

Try not to say what you want her to think, the key is acting. Try to look exhausted, and bothered. Act unfocused, normally headaches can interfere with your sight. Try confusing words while reading out loud. Act like this everywhere; for example, she might hear you from your room, that way it sounds convincing that you have a headache.
