When I was 8 years old, I pretended to have really bad stomach pains to get out of going to school (I had a very strict tea her who I didn't like).
I stayed home for over two weeks, my acting skills improving everyday, multiple visits from the doctor and many different medicines given.
My poor parents were frantic, it went on so long, and to be honest I was quite enjoying the attention!
Everyone was relieved when it stopped all of a sudden, but was talked about for ages.
I can't believe I caused so much worry on purpose.
