if your principle said to your face and gave you a certificate that your going to 9th grade, then surely your going into 9th grade?

FluffyPie agony auntI'm sorry to hear that.

You need to discuss again the issue with the principal. It's pretty hard for a person to believe you felt really bad and such. I think you should get them a medical exemption for the day when you had that health problem, so you have a legal written proof.

Good luck
