Can anyone help me? Does anyone know what I should do? I am seriously panicking because my parents don't have a clue how to fix this situation.... this might take me a long time to explain.
when i was 11 my gransma of whom i was very close to died. she was my only protector and the one who looked after me/raised me.
she died just as i was starting high school....at this point i began to realise i was being neglected by my real mum. she had had a tough childhood, had been abused by her mum and apparantly there was physical fighting in the house etc....my mum married my dad just to get away from that situation.
at the point when i was starting high school I began to notice that I was being neglected, I never got took out anywhere, never got bought anything, didnt get fed properly etc....also...my mum and dad were practically split up but in the same house.they hardly spoke,didn't have a relationship,didn't sit down to eat etc...i don't think my mum even knew HOW to move away. anyway i began to get very depressed and began not to be able to cope with school. I began to refuse to go on-and-off for 2 years. it was a terrible mistake but at the time I was severely depressed and not thinking rationally. at the end of this year my parents sent me to another school and lied to the head teacher saying that I wasn't behind in my work. I coudn't cope with the work tht year...it was alien to me....at the end of the year I quit school altoghether as I was so tired, fed up, depressed and had no-one to help me. i think deep down I was half waiting for my grandma to come back and save me. i was still not being looked after properly...and my mum was always cold towards me...I ended up having 3 measly hours of home tuition per week and I had no friends or relatives to check i was ok (which I wasn't) i ended up with a teacher who wasn't even qualified to teach...plus she just made me learn out of a book, instead of teaching me herself. NO-ONE was there in my life to make sure i was ok. my last school didn't realise the amount of danger i was in because my parets had lied to them...same with the home tuition lot. i wasn't getting any sleep, being taken anywhere, spoken to even or in general looked after by my parents.I ended up getting G grades in my GCSE exams...apsrt from a C/D in English as I as always above average at this.I was still SEVERELY depressed and didn't get ANY help. my parents didn't know really what to do. I briefly saw Connexions but they equally weren't much help. I then sat at home for the next TWO YEARS doing nothing. I am now 18. I still wasn't being looked after properly. I didn't have any sort of a routine, no regular meal times etc...etc...I didn't go out of the house..or meet anyone. I was severely depressed,not thinking straight and didn't have a clue how to get out of the situation. plus the fact that I was quite frightened of my mother made it impossible for me to talk to anyone about everything.
I really need help, i don't have a clue how to do even the most basic things such as how to use a washing machine, how to cook etc..etc...
I don't know also how to fix my education. I am 18, have had no education, don;t even know basic stuff ..and have no-one to help me. what on earth should I do? even if I did manage to sort my educatio out somehow it's unlikely that my parents would help/support me..my mum's quite cruel to me..and very abusive and doesn't seem to want me to learn even the most basic stuff.
How can I fix my education? I have looked into doing GCSE classes at college...but they only cover work from the last 2 years in high school
(and I missed years of high school from even before then) and even if I did that I still wouldn't have a clue how to link them etc.... and what a cv is etc...
PLEASE HELP!!! Could I fix this situation by doing home education for the next 5 years until I've caught up and can take my GCSEs? If so....then how will i know how to arrange this? How to arrange the subjects/how many hours? How can I link in the socialisation? What would I do once I had the GCSEs?? What organisations could help me with this? Could it be arranged the same way that under 16's home education is arranged??
what on earth am i going to do? can anyone help me?
