From age 4 to age 16.
[sp]I was homeschooled[/sp]
A week. I got sick with that swine flu shit. Not really that bad but everyone at school avoided me like the plague when they found out I had swine flu.
8 months.
2 weeks. Had surgery.
2 months in highschool.
And in 2004 i was out of school for a YEAR cause my lungs shut down. I remember my mom crying saying that id die. Luckily my lungs turned on and i breathed again. I was told to stay home for safe measures
Around 2 years. I had no energy and my immune system was non-existent. My social skills took a big hit.
I was off for 2 or 3 weeks after I has my tonsils out, but overall I was there probably about half the time once I got into year 10. Only just been diagnosed though, I have ME/Chronic fatigue syndrome. I dropped out of college 2 years ago because it was just too much at the time. Probably going back in September next year, hopefully I'll be a lot better by then now I'm on the right medication to help me deal with it.
2 1/2 weeks, since I was bedridden with mono.

You have chronic fatigue too? I was told I had it back when I was 11. I think one of the worst things about it is when people tell me I'm faking it or when my teachers tell me I'm a bad kid that just doesn't want to go to school.
2-3 days
3-4 days when I was sick with the flu.
2 weeks in grade 4 because of salmonella poisoning.
A week with bronchitis.
2 weeks. Road trip to St.Judes for lymphoma.
Suspended for 10 days 2 years ago.
Sick with MRSA, couldn't leave the hospital for 2 weeks about 4 months ago.
a day
longest when it was my fault? no more than two weeks. from school being cancelled, etc.? a couple months, right after hurricane katrina my high school was closed because the building was gone.
2 weeks when I went on a holiday to the Gold Coast with my family. I've only been away from school like 5 times for being sick. And that was only for one day.
1 Week-Because finals are over and teachers dont teach a damn thing
How can I be absent in school?
Since I quit
[quote]we're[/quote]

Like three months due to moving.

The exact same thing is happening to me right now.
A month.
One week.
Surgery doesn't wait for school to end, so I had to start my "summer vacation" earlier. And by "summer vacation" I mean lying in bed for weeks after the surgery and after that some muscle training to get the body rolling again.
Severe Scoliosis ain't pretty I'm telling ya. Had to do it twice, too.
5 months with a broken leg
Since I switched to online schooling.

I know right it was fucking shit. Are you properly diagnosed? Then you can prove it to the teachers. Unfortunately I wasn't diagnosed until after school and college, so it really wasn't fun at all. I've had it for about 5 years.
