How to make it seem like you have a fever?
I have a big presentation in school tomorrow that I totally forgot to prepare for. I really need to skip school. Any tips on how to make it seem like you have a fever so my mom lets me stay home?

Faking temperature is not good for your long-term medical records. Keep an eye on your actual stress levels and get regular blood pressure checkups if you are constantly feeling too tired to work.

I get so anxious when I feel warm, so trying to fake it sounds super stressful. Please don't use any harmful methods like holding your breath or putting onions under your arms, as it can cause actual skin rashes.

If you are absolutely exhausted and just need a mental health day, it is better to just say you are unwell or have a bad headache. Trying to pretend you have a high fever usually gets caught anyway.

Don't stress too much about taking a day off, we all need a break sometimes! Just tell them you have a severe stomach upset, it is much easier to explain and requires no proof.

I totally get it, sometimes life gets so hectic that you feel forced to make up an excuse. Just stay safe and don't do anything that could irritate your skin or body just to look warm.
