Question

How do I give myself a real headache at school?

Community Answer

For me, I just have to think about having a headache. You could also try to stress yourself out or increase tension. If that doesn't work, bang your head on the desk or something (but not too hard). Honestly, it's a lot easier and less painful to just fake a headache.

Question

What if my friends think it's fake, or my teacher doesn't let me go to the nurse?

Community Answer

Just keep complaining and discribe how you fell and how bad your headache is.

Question

When I get sent home, what if my parent checks my temperature and it's normal?

Community Answer

Headaches do not cause a fever, so this probably won’t happen. Primarily fake a headache, as those are not part of a larger illness.

What if my teacher knows it is fake?

Community Answer

If your teacher seems to think your headache is fake, try fake crying. If you can squeeze out some tears and sob that it hurts really bad, they may believe you.

Question

When I fake a headache and go to the nurse's office, all she does is give me ice. How do I get her to believe me?

Community Answer

Explain that the headache is internal and ice just won't help, or continue to act dizzy/put your head on the desk/complain about the headache while in class after she sends you back despite the ice. If you act it really well, it'll probably work.

Question

If I hit my head on something, will it give me a headache? And if not, what can I do?

Community Answer

Don't hit your head on anything; you could end up with a concussion, which is much worse than a headache and can have lifelong effects. Instead, simply use the methods in the article to pretend that you have a headache.
