I think "chuckin a sickie" is part of Australian culture, a tradition almost.
I hate them.
Don't get me wrong i love days of but i think chuckin a sickie is just a stupid idea.
you feel real cool, thinking you fooled mum,dad, teacher ect. but then what?
your trapped at home trying to keep up a believable facade off feeling sick.
I did'nt chuck a sickie today, i am genuinely sick and it really really sucks!
not just the being sick part. I mean the rest of my family are going out to tea tonight with a big group of our family friends, i think 5 or 6 families re going. I cant(i might give them the plague or swine flu, whatever iv got coz i feels crappola!)
its really crap being sick and not being able to do things.
that is why i think chuckin a sicky is over-rated it ALWAYS backfires. something good happens and you wished you hadn't pretended to be sick coz then you miss out.
also you start becoming the boy who cried wolf and no-one believes you if you are genuinely really sick anymore.
my advice is don't get sick :P and don't chuck sickies-they're not that great.
