What do I say when people ask where I've been?

I've been gone from school for about a month due to my mental issues. I was put in a mental hospital 3 hours away from my home. I am, well was on the track team. The kids at my school are extremely nosy and pretty much will annoy you until you tell them what they want to know. I really don't want that many people knowing where i've been, but I need to tell them something... any advice?

The truth. Now is the time to stop being embarrassed about any of your health issues. And who knows? Maybe you can make a difference for someone who follows you. Because others will walk your path - believe it.

Where we've been matters far less than where we are going. Get good with yourself and surround yourself with others who do the same. And get running again - track team or not.
