What is "sympathy sheet"?
Hello, people
I encounter this word 'sympathy sheet' from Wimpy Kid.
"Would you like to be the first one to sign my sympathy sheet?"
In this part, he is wearing a cast and handing a pen to some girl.
I'd really appreciate it if you could give me the answer.

Yeah, I agree with the above, except to mention that it sounds like he's referring to the cast as a sympathy sheet. Usually kids sign each others' casts when they injure themselves, so it's just a funny way of talking about the cast.

Hi, There is no "sympathy sheet" normally in our culture but in this story I think this is his personal attempt to have people feel sorry for him because he is in a situation that he doesn't like. He humorously wants people to feel sorry for him so he can feel better about himself. In English we call this a "pity party". My guess is that no one will sign is paper and he will feel even worse!
