Steps

Method 1 of 4: Ask parents for permission to leave school

1. 

   Take leave from school. Don't think you'll always be the one you want. If you want to stay home from school, whatever the reason, you should also ask your parents for permission.
   • Finding the right moment is when your parents are in a good mood. If you ask for permission at the wrong time, they may not accept your reason. If they are preparing to go away and you are still applying for a leave of absence, they can refuse.
   • Prepare to be rejected. Your parents won't want you out of school, unless you have a good reason to stay home.

2. 

   
   
   Keep calm. If your parents won't let you stay at home, don't get angry. This won't do any good, it just means you're not mature enough to be at home alone.
   • If you feel angry, take a deep breath. If you have time, you should ask for permission again that day.
   • Don't offend your parents or treat them selfishly. Perhaps they have a good reason to force you to school. If you scream in protest, it will only be in trouble.

3. 

   
   
   Get to do some chores in the house. You should find ways to compromise with your parents. They may accept your request to leave school if you clean the house. If you are willing to wash clothes then suggest washing some clothes for them.
   • If your parents allow you to stay at home on the condition that you do housework, accept it immediately. Don't give them reasons to not trust you. If not, it will be difficult to negotiate with them in the future.
   • Offering a good compromise proposition can boost your credibility in the eyes of your parents. If they see you as a responsible person, it will be easier to convince them later.

4. 

   
   
   Be truth. You may not be sick, but there is another reason why you don't want to go to school. If you are being bullied or feel uncomfortable at school, talk to your parents.
   • Maybe your parents still force you to go to school, but they will help you solve the problem.

   Dress up a bit if you can. This takes a bit of skill, but it will make your performance more realistic. Lighten your skin by applying foundation, and make your nose red with a little lipstick.
   • If you don't have your own makeup, be careful. If you are caught wearing her mother's makeup, it will be even more trouble.
   • When choosing lipstick for your red nose, don't use lip gloss or metallic lip gloss. You just use basic red lipstick.
