@janbb Hey, he’s mine!
@Sarcasm I told you not to skip class, mister.
I’m 18 now.
In middle school mostly 8th grade, I’d skip and go wander around my town with some friends. We’d usually end up sitting in one of the abandoned train cars and just talking all day. No drugs were involved and it was just a relaxing time. Days total I skipped in 8th grade: 38 according to report cards.
In high school.. I was barely there.
9th and part of 10th grade was spent doing the same train car chats as we did in middle school. We just involved drugs because well.. we could.
The rest of 10th grade I’d skip and hang out with my best friend. We’d mainly play Halo.
11th grade, well. That was skipped due to a stupid, stupid boy. That turned into drama leading me back to drugs.
Total skipped days for 9th-11th grade: 38. We had a Failure Due To Absence policy.
My senior year, they took out that policy, so we had unlimited sick days.
I skipped a total of 83 days.
Most of it, I’d just stay home and sleep. Sometimes, I’d just get bored and walk out of school. The rest of it, I’d just drive past school and go to the ranch.
Senior year was a horrible year for my school. 7 student deaths in 3 months all unrelated and 4 parents all unrelated died in the spring. So I know I’m not alone with the skipping that year. Nobody wanted to be there, but I was one of the 6 students that was on a watch list because of how much I didn’t show up.
