cutting school


Question Posted Thursday January 11 2007, 10:14 pm

What should I tell my parents that I have so many cuts in my school? Im in the 10th grade. My parents got a letter showing all the absences. What should I do?

[ Answer this question ]

Additional info, added Friday January 12 2007, 7:25 pm:
My friend is telling me that he can scan the letter and change the numbers of my absences. Then ill show it to my parents and say it was a mix-up with another student and that these are my real abscences(none). Should i do it?.

Honesty is the best policy. Tell your parents the truth, and assure them that you'll stop.

No, you definitely shouldn't have your friend change it. If your parents ever find out, then I'm sure they'll be even angrier than if you told the truth.

Hope I helped,
And Hope that everything goes well.

Stop cutting and admit to it, and say you'll stop.

Hopefully you won't lose your credits.

Admit your mistakes. You're not going to get through school if you keep skipping. Everyone already knows that you are skipping so there's no use in trying to lie about it. If you were doing things you shouldn't have been while you were not in school, for example smoking pot, it's your choice whether you want to fess up to it or not. Your parents are going to find out sometime and better sooner than later. The punishment will be much smaller if you tell them now.

Now lets talk about the punishment you are putting yourself through. Whatever reason you are leaving school for is probably a good one. I have a lot of respect for the choices other people make. Even if there is a good reason for you to do it, it is still the wrong choice. I'm pretty sure you know that. Try to stop skipping. If you are doing something you shouldn't be while skipping, try to stop that too. Not skipping will help you out now (you'll get out of trouble), in the near future (you'll graduate) and in the distant future (you won't lose your job because you kept skipping work).

It will take some time and effort to get caught back up in school. Once you do get caught up keep up. If you don't fall behind and seek out the help that you need, school is easy. You may think that skipping is making it easier and making it so you don't have to do work, but you're totally wrong. If you don't graduate high school, you're going to have a much higher chance of getting a crappy job and having a crappy, hard life. Try to think in the long term instead of the short term. I wish you the best of luck. :)

Be responsible about it and tell the truth. They've got the paper so there's no use in lying. Take the punishment they give, and start going to your classes before it ruins your life. Your life is nothing without an education. No education or diploma? Try saying "Would you like fries with that?" because McDonald's will be your new best friend. :] Harsh but true.

I think you should just be honest. They have the slip, there's nothing you can do about it. If you lie, they're just going to find out and get you in more trouble than you'll already be in.

you just have to be honest, there's no way out of it now that they have the slip.

Own up to it. That's all you can do. That is the responsible thing to do. To lie will only make matters worse, because it is so damn easy for them to catch you in your lie.

Did you know that in most schools, after so many absences, you can be turned into the police as a truant?

You better start getting your ass to class.
