This teen got sick and tired of being home sick. Here are some of her do it yourself self-entertainment tips.
I woke up Friday morning with a 103 degree fever and a cough that woke me up before my six-thirty alarm. I have not had a fever since probably second grade, and being sick as a sixteen year old is quite different than being sick as a child. For one, when you are a sick kid, you have your mother bringing you food in bed and handing you game after toy after game in case God forbid you should become bored.
Also, if you miss school as an eight year old, chances are you will only miss the math lesson on how to multiply by fives and the next chapter in Charlie in the Chocolate Factory. If you miss a school day in eleventh grade like me, you have missed a chapter in chemistry, a portion of Torah, three quizzes, one test, one pop test, and a math lesson on conics. So being sick as a teen is just plain unpractical.
At home, pacing back and forth time and time again, there is no question that some sort of entertainment is needed, and there is nothing like some kosher entertainment for today's sick and weary teenager. Here are some sick, flu-themed do it yourself crafts to make your lonely day at home an exciting day off:

Anyway, I've used up all the lemon-tea scented paper I have, so I'm afraid I have to start wrapping this article up. I have to boil up another fresh pot of tea. I have a ton of quizzes and homework to catch up on tomorrow, and I'll need as much lemon-tea scented paper as I can make.
