Tell your parents you have to make up work you've missed, or you have a huge project due that you just remembered. You could also say you aren't doing anything in school that day. That's all I can think of really!

You could sprain your ankle, but that actually requires some degree of pain. It is hard to fake well enough for a parent to believe it. Do you wear glasses and really need them to be ok in school? And can you afford to replace them? If so, make sure someone sits on them. If you can manage to get a parent to do that, you are really set. You will have to go to the eye doctor, but it isn't school. If you have a really sympathetic mom, you could have a crying fit about losing a boyfriend or good friend and you really don't want to face them in school the next day so could you please stay home and spend some time with her?

Or you could be upfront about why you don't want to go to school, but the chances of that working really depend on your parents. My mom was great with that one, but she wasn't typical. I could go to her and say "we aren't really doing much in school today. Can I go to the beach instead?" and she would drive me. I don't think most parents would be at that extreme, but I think if it is a reasonable cause for you to not want to go to school, they might consider it. But, once you tell them that, if they say you have to go, nothing else will work. They will know you are faking.

Well......you can tell your parents that you have a HUMONGOUS project due the next day - and you TOTALLY forgot about it and if you don't turn it in, your grade in that class will be a 0 or something. And start crying... - That'll help too. :) Hope I've given some ideas...
