I feel bad...
Okay, so a week ago my English teacher gave our class a big project to work on (that was due today). It consisted of writing a song, making a movie, and writing a paper. Well, last Wednesday I was absent, so my 2 friends ended up making the song. We tried to get together over the weekend, but I couldn't get a ride so the other two just got together and worked on the script. They gave the rest to me and I finished it. The only day we could work together was yesterday, the day before the project was due...so we made our movie and they gave it to me to edit. I ended up getting sick and missing the class it was due in! My teacher is kinda strict on grading, she might say, "You guys should have been ready...sorry." I just really feel bad that I wasn't there today, and one of the girl's moms has already called me irresponsible which makes me feel even worse. I don't know what to do; I believe they're mad at me because they're not picking up my calls or anything.
AHH.
What do you think I should do? I'm going to try to talk to my teacher today about it, but I'm really worried about what I might get.

Man, that stinks. I think it's the stupidest thing in the world when a teacher gives you something you have to work on outside of class (because it's very hard to set up dates and times with the group).
But you have a right for make up time when you are sick. Talk with your teacher and see what will be happening. It's not your fault so don't feel bad. :)

Perhaps apologize to the entire class. Say that your project is not as good as it could have been because you've been sick (though I don't know why you were absent the first day). Be honest. Also, before that, you may want to have your mother or father drive you to your two friends houses so that you can apologize (but JUST go to apologize, and either take a piece of the project or a card of apology). Do NOT stay and hang out. Hope this isn't too strange and hope it helps!

the safest bet is to get a doctors note that proves you are sick. That way your teacher knows you weren't just skipping in order for extra time. I think your doctor might charge you- here in Canada it's $10, but it might be worth the trouble.
