mental health day.

[Sparx]

i need one, bad.

but i can't miss school.

ughhh.

 

[::Snow_White::]

My mom doesn't let me have one of those.
I wish she did, but even if I did have one, I'd have a lot of homework to catch up on. I probably couldn't afford to miss it.

 

[ThePurpleMorphy]

I'd probably end up spending mine doing chores and being a busy-body.

Completely defeting the purpose lol.

I hope you get your mental health day soon!!

my mom was the one suggesting it.
i've been going to college and highschool lately, and i'm just exhausted. i get up early and go to school an hour before anyone's there, to take a us history 101, then i do all of highschool, then i come home, do hours of homework, and then i do english 101.
its exhausting.

 

[::Snow_White::]

I've asked my mom a couple times, and she knows I'll get my work made up.
She just refuses to let me take a day off unless I'm sick. She doesn't think there is any reason for it. Even though she knows I have a lot of clubs I have things to do in and some of my classes are pretty hard.

When I ask she just tells me that she never got one, which I don't understand why that matters, or she'll just say because and that's the end of the conversation.

Today's a random half day.
It makes me so pleased.
See you all in half a day.

Yeah I could totally use a mental health WEEK!
I get up @ 5am everyday, go to school, usually go to work (for the past month I've been getting 5 shifts a week!!! HELLO IM IN UNIVERISTY!!! IM KINDA BUSY!!!!) SO I usually don't get home til about 11-11:30ish, then I get roughly 5.5 hrs of sleep, then I get up and do it all over again, trying to squeeze in time for my VERY important readings/hmwk.
All while trying to maintain a relationship and something of a social life.

It's not working out too well for my ATM.


ETA: And I don't get a day off until mid-october for thanksgiving....but then again, i'll probably be working that day anyway.

[KitKat_Tink]

gosh i need one today so bad...its horrible

 

[pigletgirl]

I'm there too! College is whipping my butt. I'm exhausted. I want a mental health day too.

 

[I'm a Divaaaaa]

I feel ya. I kind of took one yesterday, eh. I shouldn't have in all actuality.

 

[imabrat]

I take mental health days. The way I see it, school is our "job" and our "pay" is knowledge. If adults can take personal days at work, I can take one at school.
I only go to school Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays for now. Tuesdays and Thursdays are my rest days, my "mental health" days. When I get better, I'll only take one when I need it.

Kayla - Sorry, but that "If I didn't have it, you don't need it" attitude some parents have really chaps my hiney. Isn't a point of being a great parent being able to give your child what you didn't have? Ugh.
Shelby - Take the day if you need it. You have the rest of your life to go to college, your health is more important.

 

[Babyjustrun]

I don't need one yet. Usually if I want a day off, and I happen to feel tired and run down I use my stomach ache excuse. Like 90% of school days I wake up with one. I usually try to stomach it, but if Im' tired, I can't even bother.

I ahve to actually be some form of ill to stay home.

I'll probably need one when we actually start doing work. I don't have it rough like you do Shelby, but I am finding I have no time to sleep anymore.
I get around 2 school nights off and then Saturday off. I'd prefer to work all day Saturday and get my sleep on Sunday before school goes back in.

If I have homework on a night I work, I'm doing it at like 10.30 and it's not working out well.

 

[Tinkerbell424]

I took a lot since 6th grade. But luckily this year, I haven't needed one yet. I haven't missed a day of school, despite how much I would like to. I have left early from my last period because I wouldnt of had a ride home.

I'm saving my days for when I'm sick or just have an emotional breakdown.

if i fail this class, i don't graduate HIGH SCHOOL. i'm getting hs and college credit for both of them, and both are required classes.

If I take a mental health day, i'd freak out at the end of the year.
We have 'vouchers'. And you get out of a certain amount of finals if you meet a certain criteria. One of the criteria is attendance.

i think that stuff is total bs personally.
people shouldn't be exempt from finals. my school offers it, but only the fluff slacker teachers do it.

 

[HSMndLKfan92]

I wish I could take a mental health day! Mind you, I'd miss about 2 or 3 lessons worth per subject if I missed a day. Most people in my school have suffered an in-school breakdown at least once during their high school education.

At least the teachers are sympathetic about it.

 

[Babyjustrun]

Exemptions were removed here.
In some cases yeah, it's good because we'll learn how to really prepare for an exam...

But for certain classes, it's just a pain in the bum.
But I wish midterms could be like finals, like the week off except for the exams.
