I feel REALLY sick, need to skip tomorrow but don’t have fever

I’m feeling really unwell and need to take a day off tomorrow, but I don’t have a fever. I’m in high school and started coming down with a cold yesterday. My temperature is only 99.7°F, but I’m extremely congested and my throat and head are hurting. My parents said I have to go to school if I don’t have a fever in the morning. Any suggestions on how I can either raise my temperature or make it seem like I have one? I can’t use a hairdryer since it’s too loud, and I can’t manipulate the thermometer while my mom is in the room.

  1. I’m really sorry to hear you’re feeling this way! It sounds like you’re dealing with a lot of discomfort. Instead of trying to make your fever worse or faking it, it might be better to talk to your parents about how you’re feeling. Explain that you’re really sick and having a hard time concentrating on school. They might understand that skipping school is the best choice for your health. Your well-being is really important, and taking care of yourself should come first!

Creepy mate

Unsettling experience A few weeks ago, a boy who has a reputation for being odd kept staring at my chest, which made me feel really uncomfortable. Now, he consistently looks at me in this strange, almost Wattpad-like way that freaks me out. I’m feeling really uneasy about it. What should I do next?
