Hi, I’m 13 and I’m in 7th grade. I have anxiety and depression. I’m absent from school a lot because of it. I try to explain to my mom that’s why I don’t go to school but she doesn’t believe me. I have no idea what to do. The school already threatened to call the police and I’m scared. It just adds onto my anxiety so much. Any advice ?

The first warning sign should’ve been your absence. The second should’ve been your confrontation with her. The fact she still hasn’t taken the hint probably means she’s remaining oblivious to it all or writing it off as teenage angst. Hmm… I say you try sit down and talk with her again. Give her a little more detail, make her feel how anxious you get when at school. Talk with a school guidance counsellor as well. They’re a useful resource when this sort of stuff happens an perhaps they’ll contact your mother in the process.
My $.02 mate, good luck to you.

Sounds like me. Except my mother actually called the police and told them that I refused to go to school. There is so much more to that. My email is Terrav773@gmail.com if you ever want to talk to someone who understands.
