Over the last week, Jason has not been feeling well. It started with feeling tired all the time and having headaches daily. Today, when Jason got out of bed, he lost his balance and stumbled back into bed. He has no appetite and has uncontrollable shivers. Jason has a big test at school today and is not sure if his parents will believe that he is not feeling well enough to go to school.
How should Jason communicate his health concerns to his parents?
