Day off school, advice?

I know how you feel! I'm currently doing my GCSE's too and it's probably the most stressful time of my life so far. It feels like it will never end, and obviously it doesn't help if you have problems with your 'friends' too. I sometimes feel like i need a break from it, but in reality you will just end up wanting to take more and more time off, which is bad for your attendance record. You could say you have period pain or a headache if you really don't feel like going, but there's really not much point. What i would do is just be strong and face the day (take it one day at a time), try to avoid being around those people who make you feel bad, and concentrate on why your there: to p your exams and make yourself proud. You are in charge of your own life, and not them! Also when you come back from school i would go for a jog or walk everyday to de stress and sort out you head. This is what i do, and trust me it works! Good luck and stay focused on yourself and your work, NOT them :) You can do it, even if its a pain lol :) x
