i don't skip school with friends, if i ever do, it's always a particular class, and it's always by my self. i rarely do it, but its something that comes with being angry at things, at people. mainly, i guess, i do it because people think its weird.

I used to skip P.E. I'd pretend to be ill or something to stay home, or have mum write me a not to get out of it. One time my boyfriend persuaded me to just not go to the lesson and to skip it with him. We skipped school together a couple of times, I wouldn't have done that if I wasn't with him. I'm less easily influenced now, but I resent him for that. He was an idiot. Sorry, I'm rambling.

Before I went to my sixthform I did quite a lot. It was either because I hadn't done the work yet and was worried about it, I was having a hard time with friends or becuase I was with friends.

I'm a lot more organised and happy in sixthform so I tend to go in most days. Have a couple of itmes skipped school in sixthform(such as for Glastonbury last year) or for lessons I can't be bothered to go to. But far less often.

My high school years were really depressing, so I skipped a lot. Not so much that I would end up failing my subjects. But I did enough to take a small break from certain people. I never actually faked being sick, but I have pretended to feel worse that I did so Mom would let me stay home.

i skipped school a couple of times when i was going out with this guy, but only for one class. If i skipped school for the whole day my school would find out, most definately.

I was sick enough for the first eighteen years of my life that skipping would have been pointless. Whether it was because of my asthma or the problem with my eye, I missed like ten days every quarter.

Since my senior year of high-school, though, my health has improved a lot. Nowadays I'm absolutely sure that all my problems with asthma relate to stuff inside the house since whenever I'm outside or at college, I'm fine.

Here at college though... I never skip math classes, but as for any other subject, depends on what it is. I probably went to one out of every three classes for my American foreign policy class last semester since I wasn't learning anything in that class (I got an A), and there was a geology class that I took freshman year and only went to once every two weeks or something ridiculous like that (A again). So if it's a stupid class that I know I'm going to get a good grade in, I skip a lot. But if it's a class that I either enjoy (like the Shakespeare class I'm taking now) or a class where skipping just one means you may as well just drop the class (like any math class I've taken and for some economics classes), then I don't skip.

i don't mind school. i'll like it tons better in May because we've chosen our subjects and i can ditch stuff like home economics and wood/metal work. We still have to do maths and PE and junk, but ill get extra history!

One--Dad's a doctor, Mom's a nurse. Faking sick never worked.

Two--My school is so small that if I skipped everyone would worry about me and my teachers would call my parents to see where I was. Besides, my school's out on the loop..nowhere to skip to unless you can drive. Which I can't. (*counts down to October*)
