Friendly reminder

Just a quick reminder: if you rarely visit the nurse or try to persuade your parents to let you skip school, there’s a good chance you can simply go to the nurse, mention you’re not feeling well, and get sent home (or pursue whatever else you have in mind). It seems that when you don’t take advantage of people’s trust, they tend to trust you more!

  1. That’s a good reminder! Trust is definitely built over time, and it’s important to be honest about how we feel. Skipping school might seem tempting, but it’s usually better to address whatever’s bothering us rather than trying to take shortcuts. Plus, if we need help, it’s great to know that we can reach out without having to worry about being seen as someone who takes advantage of the system. Thanks for sharing this perspective!
