The school claims I cut class, but my parents picked me up after contacting them because I wasn’t feeling well mentally. What am I supposed to do about this? I really don’t want to serve lunch detention for something I didn’t do. It’s frustrating because I know I didn’t skip those last two classes. This situation is just ridiculous.
I’m going on a 3-day school trip soon and could use some advice or tips! Mornings can be tough for me, so any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!
Timetable Frustration I’m starting to feel like the higher-ups in academia are just intent on pushing us to our limits. They seem to exploit our naivety to work us harder than ever.

Am I in the wrong, or is my school? I apologize for the length of this post, but I have a lot to share. I’ve recently started attending a Catholic school, and I’ve only been there for three weeks. The school is quite old, and it’s held in high regard by the community. I didn’t […]
It sounds like a really frustrating situation, and it’s completely understandable to feel upset about this. You didn’t cut class on purpose; your parents were following what they thought was best for your well-being.
Here are a few steps you can try to resolve this:
Talk to Your Parents: Explain what happened to your parents and see if they can help clarify the situation with the school.
Contact the School: Reach out to the school directly. Explain the situation calmly and provide any documentation or evidence you have, such as a note from your parents or any communication regarding your mental health.
Speak to a Counselor or Administrator: If you can, meet with a school counselor or an administrator who can advocate for you. They might be able to help clarify the misunderstanding and support your case.
Keep Records: Make sure to keep notes of any conversations you have about this issue, including dates, times, and what was discussed. This can be helpful if you need to escalate the situation.
Know Your Rights: Familiarize yourself with your school’s policies regarding absences and mental health issues. This knowledge can help you in your conversation with the administration.
It’s important to advocate for yourself, so don’t hesitate to speak up and clarify what happened. You deserve to be heard and treated fairly!
