No you really shouldn't go. You need to go and get some Nix or something to get rid of them. And if over the counter stuff don't work you need to see your family doctor.

no way can you attend school if you really do have this.
there is a 7-10 day period before all the lice is killed by the medicated shampoo you use. you cannot return to school until all the lice and "nits" as the eggs are called, are no longer present inside your hair.
the medicated shampoo can be found over the counter or you can get stronger stuff by prescription from your dr. the comb the kit comes with is the comb you have to use-it's the only one designed to remove the eggs. after it's use-you cannot wash your hair for 1-2 days.
wash all washable clothes,bedsheets,towels,etc in HOT water (130 degrees plus). anything that cannot be washed (stuffed animals,bedspreads,etc) are to be put into airtight bags and left there for a minimun of 2 weeks (lack of air will suffocate and kill any lice present)
for the next 1-2 weeks after it's confirmed that the lice are gone-continue to use a fine tooth comb to comb out your hair-this will help prevent reinfestation if there are any lice still lurking around on your bedsheets,clothes,etc...

Go to the store immediately, buy the shampoo that's in the medication isles. Use it as often as the directions permit. You should probably stay out of school until you get a handle on it. A percentage of my school once had it and they closed the school for a couple of days, so they don't want you there. And don't forget to wash all your sheets, pillowcases, etc!

no you shouldn't otherwise you would give other people head lice. best solution is to get head lice removal stuff, or get ur mom/dad/a sibling to cut your hair, if they arent afraid of head lice.

You could but they will send you home if they find out and you willspread them to other people. I would wait until they are gone. And the BEST way to ge trid of them is bleaching your hair becausethe shampoos are only 80% effective.
