At my school, if you had a headache or you were sick or whatever, you were kinda screwed. :x We don't even have a place to lie down, so, like... you had to call home, and whatever, make sure your parents knew you were coming home, and all that. It was such a hassle because you could be there forever if you couldn't get a hold of your parents. The only way you could leave easily is if you were eighteen. Then, you could sign yourself out, and no one would bother you. :x
Kels: That's so true! I was offered an ice pack for a nosebleed in elementary once, I kid you not. >_>;
