Smile as Makeup

Someone at school asked what makeup I was wearing.

I said, "a smile."

They are now following me around asking if my mental health is okay.

My plan to avoid them is to not go to school.

Going to school is mandatory in this country.

Can you guess my plan?

Explanation

Experiment

The joke plays on the contrast between a simple answer about wearing a smile and the deeper, unspoken issue of mental health. The student's sarcastic reply about using a smile as makeup leads to concern from other students, which is the opposite of what they intended. Their solution is to not go to school, which, of course, is mandatory.
