I think I would have rather gone to a chicken pox "party" and missed a week of school when it had no real consequence (other than social) than missed 2 weeks of high school when it did have real academic consequences because my mother didn't like the idea of our having chicken pox, and thus shielded us from it. I was 16 when I got it; my sister was 21. My niece and nephew had to be vaccinated before they went to pre-school.
