i donated blood at school in the middle of november. after that i found out that i was anemic and that they shouldn't have taken my blood. well i have been having really bad headaches, had to go to the doctor to get blood drawn, taking really expensive medicine and my doctor is wanting to send me to a specialist 2 hours away. i am a good student and i get good grades but some people have said that the school is allowed to hold me back if i miss too much. i don't think that it right. i am getting nervous about going back because it is my first year and i don't really know that many people. my mom is wanting me to move back to my hometown and live with my grandma. i was wondering if me missing school now would make me have bad grades there and if this could cause me to have problems getting into college. i hope this isn't ruining my life, but i can't help how i feel.

i am a good student. i do my work and i never get into trouble. i have migraines all of the time right now and the medicine they gave me makes me sleep all of the time. i get light-headed and i run out of breath just walking up the stairs in my house, i can only imagine what it would be like if i was at school. seriously, if i was in school right now then i would not be able to concentrate anyways. it just makes me mad to know that they could fail me when i do have a good reason for not being there and i am a good student.

You or your mom should speak with your school principal. Considering the circumstances, it's possible that the school will allow you to make up the work, or to do make-up work at home (or in hospital) while you are out. It is worth it to try, anyway, and better than having your grades drop badly.

An anemic donating blood may not be good, but it doesn't cause more than a few days of feeling weak.
Other health issues may be a problem, but the blood donation is not the cause.
Missing school for medical reasons is usually treated differently than 'un-excused' absences.
Most school districts will allow you to make up the missed work.
If you fail to make it up, you can be held back or failed in those classes.

well since it is medical you can always request to get a homebound teacher so you can keep up with your work. also they have to let you make that work up. as long as you are making the grades i would say they don't have a right to. if they try to hold you back your parents can actually refuse. when i was younger they tried to hold me back because i had a learning disability (really there was no disability i just learned differently i made honor roll and later in high school i took honors courses) anyway my mother told them they were full of it and i was too smart to be treated that way. they allowed me to advance to the next grade and i graduated high school with an advanced diploma. of course things could possibly be different in your state. but defiitely since it's medical then i doubt they could or should.

The policy is different for different schools. I know that back in my high school, you could miss a lot more days if you had a doctor's note to excuse them. As far as grades, you're responsible for keeping up with those. Do you have a handbook or something? If not, i would talk to someone in charge?

some schools have a policy that you can't pass unless you attended a certain minimum number of days. that policy may have existed for years. you need to check into it.
in any case, if you don't pass your classes because you weren't there to do assignments and take tests, you can certainly fail.
check into all this more.

It relies upon on what college you bypass and what their attendance coverage is. ( excused absences and unexcused absences). Ask a instructor. except that once you're doing all of your paintings and getting good grades i do not see it as that huge of a difficulty.

Regretfully I skipped half my senior year and proved that if you do just enough to pass they can't do anything about it. But I do wish that I hadn't, I could've learned so much more and pissed it away like an immature nymphette

It depends on the school, different schools have different policies. i suggest that you talk to your school counselor to see if they'll fail you for missing too much school.
