i'm 15 and i have developed this anxiety/depression disorder, because of moving from private to public highschool and the whole environment problem i have...i have like one more day left of absences you can miss, i go to a therapist once a week during a school day so i get notes for those days, but the days idon't feel exactly able to get out of bed in the mornings, my parents yell and yell. i talked to them about homeschooling me but then they gave me this whole lecture on how they don't trust me...well my question is, would the cops really come to my house if i miss one more day of an unexcused absence? my mom doesn't really like me all that much, so she just kind of laughs in my face about it and saying she'll jsut let them take me to juvi. it's not that i don't want to go to school, it's just the whole environment. i've talked to the counselor at school, i'm on medication, but i just still have this big phobia of going. help? like what can the police do?

I'm not sure exactly what the police can do in your state- in mine they can take you to the juvenile center and hold your parents for educational neglect.I'm sorry that you have anxiety and depression- but I do think it's great that you are seeing someone - this will help you in learning ways to cope with the anxiety.
Have you spoken with your school counselor? She can give you other options and even help with the problems at school.
It's sad that your parents aren't taking a more active role in your life and education. Although, this is where you can show you ARE a survivor!! In saying this I mean you can complete school- go to college- and make a wonderful life for yourself. I hope that you have other family members or friends that help give you the support you need to succeed!! In 5-6yrs. u can come on here and show us all you have graduated and even become an attorney, child advocate, anything u want to be!!!

the police won't really come to your house....if they do it's just to find out what's going on, why you are not going to school....other than that your parents should receive a letter of a warning that they will be send to court if you keep missing school, and will probably be ticketed...but since you are having medical problems, something should be arranged, you should talk to your therapist and counselor, or even the principle to talk about the problem

you have a home problem as well! i hope you discuss your family issues with the counsellor as well. if you have been diagnosed with an anxiety disorder and are taking medication your parents need to be more involved in managing your condition and helping you. i dont think the police will cart you off to juvi for a truancy issue

the police CAN come to your house, I've seen it, however, I'm not exactly sure if you would be locked up. I think they just try to sort whatever sh!t you got going on, and they will make you go to supplemental learning or something like that. Not really sure, i graduated with a 4.2, so I never had that problem.

The police ticket your parents, not you. Talk to your counselor.
