How to make my parents think I'm sick!
I don't want to go to school on Wednesday because I have this presentation that is due and I haven't finished it yet. I want to convince my parents that I'm really sick so they let me stay home from school. How can I do that? I really don't want to throw up because throwing up is NASTY. My best friend pulled it off once by wearing make-up that was too light for her and made her look pale and then squirted her face with warm water to make it look like sweat. Should I try that? Is there anything else that will make it believable? Please & THANK YOU

Okay so I start a couple days in advance. So sunday or monday mention that your stomach has been hurting you. Do the same on tuesday but kind of act like your pushing through the sickness to go to school because you don't want to go to miss out on school. Then wensday is when you've become so sick you can't possibly go to school even though you really don't want to miss it :) then thursday you start to feel a little better by going to school but still kind of acting like your just overcoming the sickness. And friday you can go back to normal and enjoy your weekend.
This always works for me because its more realistic. Most people (unless you get food poisoning) feel the sickness coming. When I would be totally fine the night before and then wake up on the day of some project due and randomly be all sick my mom would always totally know I was trying to miss school for a reason. You kind of have to get into to the acting of this whole thing in order for it to work.
Also wake up numerous times in the middle of the night to "throw up" or do the water trick like the person below me explained. And the morning of put something hot on your face or blow a hair dryer in your face to make it hot so if your mom feels your forehead she can't say "well you feel fine"
Good luck.

i don't condone misleading your parents just because you're too lazy to do your homework (even though we've all done it...trust me, i'm no hypocrite) but this is what i did:
can you make it sound like you're throwing up? if you can, thats all you'll need, plus a cup of water. get the cup of water, go into the bathroom and shut the door. make gagging noises, like you're throwing up, and whenever you make the noises, pour a little bit of the water into the toilet. keep this up until you think its done the trick. when you come out of the bathroom, be sure to look very weak and tired.
or, if your parents are like mine and assume you're absolutely dying just from throwing up and insist on running you to the ER asap, you could try what you're friend did. also something else that works and concerns most parents is telling them that you couldn't fall asleep at all the night before due to a migraine. but this is a tricky thing to pull. first of all, you'll have to be sure to wake up before them and, you know, ACT like you have a terrible headache. first of all, headaches are annoying as hell and everyone knows it. secondly, parents get concerned when their child doesn't sleep. if you want to get really into the "acting" process, pull an all nighter.
next time, don't procrastinate. its not fun to miss school, anyways. catching up is a bitch. plus, you'll have to be sure and do the homework that you absolutely COULD NOT finish due to very good, very reasonable reasons.
P.S. again, i'm not a hypocrite. i've just grown out of this phase. :) take care and "feel better"
