Depending on the number of absences you’ve already accumulated, your school might not even care if you skip. If you’re a known skipper with many absences already stacked against you, proceed with caution.
Note where the cameras are in your school. If possible, avoid walking past them when you are supposed to be in class. Do not skip classes where you have significant tests or projects due, as this only increases your chances of getting caught. If you’re skipping class to avoid having to turn in a project or take a test, you might be better off faking sick and not going to school at all. For tips on faking sick, check out this article.
If you’re a bad liar, keep the excuse as simple as possible. The best lies have elements of truth in them, so include truthful specifics in your falsehoods to make them easier to swallow. Don’t use the dead relative excuse or the family emergency excuse, those excuses should be hinted weeks in advance, if you are planning your skip later. You could say that you were looking for something you lost if you absolutely need an excuse. If asked what you lost, say a key or a flash drive. [1] X Research source
If someone enters the bathroom, keep your feet out of sight to avoid detection. Switch stalls every so often, just in case someone is monitoring bathrooms to ensure no one is hiding inside. Bring activities to keep your mind occupied (like a phone or a book) but make sure they are quiet and do not arouse suspicion amongst other bathroom goers.
