Steps1.Schedule your sickness. The best day to miss a day of school usually tends to be Wednesday. This is because it is towards the middle of the week since it is not a particularly important day. You'll have the whole weekend to do whatever you want. If you fake sick a lot, don't try it on a Monday, because your parents might get suspicious that it just happened to occur right when you need to go to school. Don't fake sick after a holiday or a break, this just shows that you want an extra day off of school and your parents will definitely send you to school

2.Begin the night before. If you are planning on staying home the next day, tell your mom or dad that you don't feel well the night before.

◦If you've been ill before with a virus or bug repeat those symptoms; it will seem less like you are faking. If you've been to see someone who had a cold or something replicate those symptoms so it seems as though you caught it from them.
◦Stomach problems. Only eat bits and pieces of dinner; when your parent(s) ask what's wrong, tell them that your stomach hurts. Make sure you have snacks hidden in your room so you can miss a meal because you're "not feeling well." If you normally do your homework, get started on it, but put your head down periodically so that they see you're not feeling well and it's interfering with your work.
◦Sore throat. This only works if your parents are not the over-worrying kind. If you have over-protective parents that go running to the emergency room over a minor strep throat, do not attempt. The day before you plan to fake a sore throat, say that you're feeling a bit scratchy in your throat, and clear your throat a lot. That night, at about 7:45pm/8:00pm, say that you feel tired, and that you have a headache.
◦Cold/flu. Breathe only through your mouth, as if your nose is stuffed. Wear many layers of clothing. This makes it look as though you are freezing, since sick people feel cold easily. Sneeze loudly, then sniffle in front of your parents. Do this also when they're not in the same room but can overhear you from wherever they are. While they're not looking, rub your forehead, face, and eyes (if you have parents who check your face for temperature) then approach them, saying you don't feel so great. It'll make your face red and warm.
3.Go to bed early. Don't say anything. When you're around them, just walk out of the room and go to your bed. Don't brush your teeth--they'll probably wake you up to remind you. At that point, they'll probably wonder what's wrong, and you can tell them that you're not feeling well. Describe your "symptoms" and appear impatient, maybe even cranky, and eager to go to bed.
4.Prepare to have your temperature taken. If you do a good job, your parents will probably want to take your temperature, in which case you can say "i have to go to the bathroom" make sure you have a cup with you then turn on the sink faucet and take some warm water and drink it and rinse it thought your mouth especially under your tongue "note this only works if they check it under your tongue"
5.Wake up in the middle of the night. If you're pretending to have stomach issues). For flu or sore throat symptoms, cough or clear your throat loudly enough to alarm them, and rub your face vigorously right before they come in.


6.Stay up till late at night. This gives you bags underneath your eyes, and you will have a legitimate reason to have a day off. Be aware you might be asleep for the day though.
7.Reinforce your feigned illness in the morning. Be especially reluctant to get out of bed. If they still want to make you go to school, get up, but sluggishly. Slowly dress, but not too slowly. Skip a button on your shirt, don't comb your hair properly, and don't tie your shoe laces properly (or even at all). Pick at your breakfast as if you have no appetite. If you're pretending to have a cough, go to the bathroom upon rising and rub your eyes with water a bit, just to give yourself slightly "sick eyes." If you didn't start faking symptoms the night before, it'll be much more difficult to convince your parents that you're sick. Here are some other last-minute strategies you can try:

8.Protest if they suggest you stay home. When your parents decide to let you stay home, don't just shrug and agree. Protest their decision (but only if you didn't have to convince them first). This reinforces the fact that you really are sick. Say, "But Mom, I'm going to have so much work to make up!" or "But I have a math test today!" Do not over do it. If your parents know you don't care about tests, say "But I have Band Practice, or Art Class" or something they know you enjoy. If you protest, be sure it is something you would really say. For example, if you don't care about tests, your parents know you don't care. Don't randomly state that you want to do a test.
