Well i was skipping with a couple friends and we were hanging out in his trailer for two classes after lunch and when me and my friends sneaked back into school and waited for our parents to pick us up, my mom told me she knew i was skipping when we were in the car because well i'm failing math and they called her to discuss this problem and they wanted to talk to me so they called the class i was skipping and i wasn't there. In conclusion my mom got really mad and was all disappointed but like really whats so bad i have a decision whether or not i should go to school. This is my 15th time but my first time getting caught but i was asking myself all day and well whats so bad about skipping ?

See I'm a student as well, and there are many days that I don't want to go to school, I'm in college now. The reason you shouldn't skip and why it's so bad is the exact reason you just said, you are failing math. How are you going to get a job when you grow up if you have no motivation or willpower now? Skipping is wrong because if you aren't at school, and you aren't at home, and your parents don't know about it then it could end up being a huge problem for everyone. My advice to you is to simply suck it up and go to school, it's not so bad, after all everyone else manages to stay in school, why can't you? And here's a dose of reality if you don't go to school, you'll probably end up being a balding old man, I mean sure you could somehow win the lottery and prove me wrong. But that doesn't happen to everyone, stay in school. Honestly if I were your mom I'd do a lot more than say I was dissapointed, actually I would've yelled until you were in tears, then I'd take away your T.V. and anything that's reccreational, all my years of school I've never ditched a day.

Whats so bad about skipping? I don't know, maybe you are failing math, and I think from the way it sounds you might be failing a few other classes. You think it is OK to skip, well let me tell you from a business owners perspective.Don't skip math class, because believe it or not math is very important and you will use it in just about everything you do in life.Take it from me you think you don't need to learn math, well when you are 30 yrs old, and working at McDonald's or pushing boxes you will think back to when you skipped those classes, and say to yourself why did I skip.

Skipping will and does show your mentality when you get older and you sit down at your dumb *** job making peanuts and griping about the long hours and lack of funds. While your other classmates who were attending class pull out in their Mercedes and splash you while waiting for the overcrowded bus to go home. There is an old saying that "you can play now and work for ever, or you can work now and play for ever". This means do something with your life and education as you only get a first chance at being in school to prove yourself. Later it is no fun taking adult classes to get your high school diploma just to get a job in a hardware store or a machine shop that your classmate the studier owns and pays you crap wages...grow up and show your mother that you can and will be a responsible student with a lot of AMBITION.

first, our mom cares about you more than you know.
second - the reason she is so upset is because she also knows that regardless what you may think about choices you think you know best about - she knows better.
this is because she knows that your potential to succeed in life will be jeopardized by your lack of consideration for your efforts / grades in school.
I know it's hard, and believe me, I know how you feel. But trust me, even though you think so, skipping math or any class, and failing any subject is not in your best interest. Especially if you are trying your best and you know that you can do it! Obviously your mother thinks so. And obviously your teachers have a concern for you as well. They aren't trying to make your life miserable, you are doing that all by yourself.
You have to look at it from a different perspective honey - it's called growing up and taking responsibility - and they are trying to assist you in doing that.
Best of luck
Now show us what you're made of and pass that class!!

Dude, you wanna get out of school? Then you need to go to all your classes so you can pass them rapidly and graduate already and not spend so much time in school.

If you're failing math, and you don't go to class, how are you supposed to learn and pass it at least with a C?

Hey, you need to graduate from high school ok? You need an education boy, I don't wanna sound like your mom, but the more you go to classes the quicker you get the hell outta there.

You didn't state your age but it's illegal to skip school until you're 18, then you can write your own excuse.

Poor baby school is boring. Most things in life are not exiciting. But c'mon -hanging out in a trailer - is that what you want to with your life? I have another alternative to the guys suggestion learn the phrase "Do you want fries with that?" How about "Paper or plastic maam?"

Get your candy *** back in school buster! And pay attention while you are in there also. And I mean it too! Good kids, like yourself go bad because they fail, so do the right thing for once. Do it for all of us, do it for your mom, who obviously cares a lot about you and your future. either you im me, or your mom. I would like to know how you're doing, Ok? Thanks.

What is bad about skipping is that you will not learn anything, and you will spend the rest of your life needing to ask other people for answers on Yahoo! Answers.
