Depending on your school policies, don't feel so down about it. I was like you once, a good student who never skipped class, but when I did, I never really got in trouble.
Also, depending on how you spent your ditching time, if anyone asks about it, just say you weren't feeling well and you thought it was best not to go to class. But if everyone knows what you did, then I can't help ya here. Just tell the truth then, but conjure up a good motive.
Again, don't feel bad if you just skipped class once. If you're an avid student, other kids will probably give you a little slack. Instead of thinking that you're the preppy goody-goody, they will realize that you're just like them. So you're rep won't be damaged much, because I bet half of your grade ditched at least once anyways.

I think I'm going to go ahead and tell you the only good thing that came out of this. I think something made you skip because you wanted to be like the popular kids so you could get a wake up call. Telling you that you need to stop trying to act like something you aren't, that regret and guilt is there to tell you that what you are doing or what you've done was wrong. I think you've found those feelings to know whether its right or wrong. I'm glad you got up the courage to tell your parents what happened, when the teachers and principals ask you where you were or anything tell the truth. Just say, "I skipped with Joan and Laura, I'm really sorry." Apologize and tell the truth, because I think you know that lying gets you nowhere. As for the people who give you looks, I think those are looks of students in your class wondering why a person like you would ever do something like that. But, next time remember your guilt and regretful feelings instead of the enjoyment and freedom of skipping, because you won't feel that when you do it next year and get held back.
LoveNJstyle answered Monday April 25 2005, 5:25 pm: well yes, you should have thought about that before you did but honestly i dont think you have anything to worry about. rep? its the end of the year and rarely do ppl judge you if you skip class... some ppl actually think your cool. i skip class every chance i get and make up an excuse. dont think to much about what they will do like questioning. teachers dont usually do that, they just make it look like they will to make you guilty and make you freak out and stuff like you are doing now ; ) take care and dont do it again! <3 [ LoveNJstyle's advice column | Ask LoveNJstyle A Question ]
Sherry answered Monday April 25 2005, 4:58 pm: Its just skipping class, why will people make a big deal over it? You told your parents already so thats good. Your rep isint ruined because you skipped class...so dont worry worry. If teachers/principals ask you...tell the truth or lie. your choice. But honeslty, what is the school going to do? Hit you? So you should just be like "Yes, we skipped class." And to the people that give you werid looks...just be like "What are you looking at?!" Your making this too much of a big thing when all it is, is skipping one class. [ Sherry's advice column | Ask Sherry A Question ]
