I skipped 23 days of school in eighth grade
What was your reason for missing so much school while in the eighth grade?
Ok, why do you want to know this?
Skipping school because you're lazy is a bad idea if you want to graduate. Talk to your counselor and find out what you can do to make up the days of school you missed.
No, it's just this isn't any of your business.
It is just not a great idea to skip so much school. This gives the school and state reason to want to know why you are missing in the first place. This can also get your parents into pretty big trouble.
