Question:
Do you think mental health problems are a valid reason to stay home from school for one day?
Ive been feeling really really bad since recently and today i was actually physically kind of sick and stayed home but i don’t know if i’ll even have the strength to get through tomorrows school day without COMPLETELY breaking down and i don’t want anyone to see that and also really don’t want that to happen so
i wanna hear other opinions tho
Update: I AM gonna stay home tomorrow, ty for the commentsNov 18, 2021

Let's see here:
Is the brain a organ? Yes
Does a malfunction/dip in performance count as a sickness/illness? Yes
Does a sick-day revolve around recovering from a sickness/illness? Yes
The answer is clear, yes. It is valid to take a sick day, no matter what part of you is hurting.

Absolutely. If you’re not doing well mentally going to school will make it worse, plus you probably won’t be able to concentrate on the stuff in class anyway. Been there man. It’s shit. I used to have a lot of anxiety attacks because of school. I’m glad I’m done.
•
Yes.
Do I take the mental health days I should bc of the fear of missing school, getting behind on work and having to ask my parents for them to then ask why and me have to explain? Also yes.
But seriously, I'm happy you're taking the day off, I think it takes a lot of strength and a deep knowing of yourself of understanding when your body needs a break:)

yes it should be! if there were more/updated mental health resources in schools too, this would give people more options than just staying home, like a mental health room or something where someone can just take a break from a class instead of missing the whole day? counselors, books, and many other things could be considered
•
Ah, thats a big difficult to say. But i would say that it is a valid reason to stay hone :D mental health is important and if your not feeling well during class (makes it harder) o-o
•
Look at the words mental health problem. Minus the mental. It says " health problem". Mental health issues are not just health problems but depending on what you have are disabilities that hinder your ability to work. So ummm. Yes of course. It's just like any other sick day.
•
Ofc, mental illnesses affect your physical health that ends up affecting your mental health, its a cycle that needs to be worked with, if it means to take a sick day from school/work then by all means stay home
•
100% I actually “skipped” school for a majority because of that and it was weird because I was a top student and everything but nobody ever was concerned when I did
Make sure you have an excused absence though my parents luckily enough understood so they always called in when I didn’t go

Absolutely yes. I have personally problem with one specific class in school so I'm avoiding him until I get the problem fixed.
If I can complete ignore those classes you can with no doubt miss one day of school

Feel like letting students take a day off for mental health may be subject to being exploited unfortunately, since it hard to prove it because you can't really see it
•
Yep, I’ve had to multiple times, not exactly a good idea to go to school with swollen eyes from crying for a day and a half straight, not eating, barely physically able to get up, etc.

•Stay at home
Shut doors
Listen to some music (Pop,soft)
Eat chips
Start a new Netflix show
Party yourself
Dance your heart out
First of all,cry your heart out about all the sad things that happened in your life
After the crying session,wash your face
Then, enjoy yourself with Netflix, chips and your bed
Next day try to be friends with everyone and talk to your bestie and laugh have a good time
Treat others nicely
You will forget about all the negativity and voila

•It’s definitely ok to stay home from school to take care of your mental health, I will never understand why people think it’s not ok??
