**Liliana: What is the average amount of days a teenager should miss of school?
I was just wondering what the average amount of school a teenager should miss in a year. Not the max they can miss, but how many you think the average teenager misses.

maybe 1 day. I would say on average most of us are sick about one day a year.

there are many who will go years without a day of missed school or work.

Answer by Katie
I suppose the ‘proper’ answer should be 0 days, since everyone should attend school so they do not miss anything of their studies.
