I tried to play the patient at home today.🤒🏠

Ever tried to fake a stomach ache just to skip school, only to find yourself caught in a web of family chaos? Last week, I thought I had it all figured out—baby powder for a pale face, skipping dinner, the whole nine yards. But my mom, the family detective, kept checking on me, and my little brother kept cracking jokes, making it nearly impossible to keep a straight face. The worst part? My dad insisted on taking me to the doctor, and I had to keep my story straight the entire time. I felt trapped, not just by my own lie, but by the pressure to be the perfect student and child. Why does it feel like we have to go to such lengths just to get a break? Have you ever found yourself tangled up in a family situation like this? Sometimes, I wish my parents understood how overwhelming school can be. Tell me, have you ever tried to pull off a sick day and ended up in more trouble than it was worth?
