I was wondering if anyone was ever failed because they have missed so much time from school due to IBS.When I was in 9th grade I was an C student and my IBS got as bad as it ever had and I landed myself in the hospital. They said they were very surprised I had not done any serious damage to myself and said within a few days I would of probably been dead if I had not came in. I was so bad off I mean I went from a flat stomach to looking 8 months pregnant, I could not eat, sleep, I could not even bend or lay down and I was throwing up.I had been in the hospital for only a few days but out of school for about a month, my mom called up the school and explained what had happened to them and yet they still failed me and I had to repeat the 9th grade again, it just pissed me off so bad I mean did they want me to come sit in school while I was in so much pain and dying?My mom explained to the school what had happened after I got out of the hospital, before that she did not even no I was so bad off, I had been keeping it a secret and the only reason she found out is because she told her friend who also has what I have about what I was going threw and her friend told her what was really going on and then my mom confronted me and I told her I had been like this for several months and showed her my stomach, she freaked and rushed me to the emergency room. If it had not been for my moms friend I would probably be dead right now.It just really angers me how I could be dying and them fail me for missing a month of school yet tell me why they let all these pregnant teenagers have 6 weeks off school when they have their babies? I have a 2 year old and had a C-section, not even 2 weeks later I was totally fine. It does not take no damn 6 weeks to recover from having a baby.
