If you have not gone to college all this time because of family problems, then you also might not have worked. Am I right? If you have not even worked because of your problems, then you can tell Home Office that you have not even tried to get a job, and your reason for not going to college was not even to earn money in the UK.
If you have some proof, give it to them.
Also, you may have shared your problems with your friends or your college administration. Make them give a testimony on your behalf and ask some respected people to give a guarantee on your future activities, a letter form or in person.
Ask your parents to send a letter too, saying that you really had a family problem.
You know, if you were not attending college you should have taken a suspension of your course and gone back to your family for some time, till your problems were sorted out. And then come back to complete your studies.
But since you are from America, what does it matter that you study here or in US. Both countries have good educational institutions.
Just think of the worst that could happen, plan your next strategy around that and for now try to get other people involved here too.
And don't worry. it's not the end of the world. What's done is done. Now think wisely about the future.
Best of luck!

If 'some time' is more than a couple of days you have a problem. If you have left the UK in order to try and sort out the family problems this may be of considerable benefit to your case. However if you have not left the UK and with your parents in the US you are going to have difficulties explaining why these family problems prevented you from attending classes.
If 'some time' is indeed weeks or months it's time to pack your bags because whatever the family problem is, it is preventing you from doing the very thing you were being allowed into the UK to actually do, at which you have broken the terms of your visa and should leave. Sympathy letters wouldn't convince me very easily and I don't think the Home Office are going to be an easier reception.

I'm a bit confused. You say you have not been attending college because of family problems, yet you are asking US to come up with a proper reason because your reason is not adequate.
I would say the home office has plenty of reason to believe you are being dodgy.
If your parents are in the US and you didn't return home during these 'family problems', then they will see it as it wasn't a great enough problem for you to miss so much school.
So, sorry, can't help ya. Sounds like you will have to accept your fate and you made some bad choices. Welcome to adulthood, the land of consequences.

if you don't have an adequate reason then there's not a lot you can do, you will have to have proof that these problems did occur, no offence ,but if ANY student didn't attend college some one somewhere would want to know why!! and i know of UK students who have been asked to leave as they have not had a good attendance or adequate reason for doing so

Well, if you haven't been attending school because of family problems, then write to the Home Office about the family problems. You know more about your problems then we do. Don't make anything up, because they will check up on it, and lying will hurt your chances of ever being allowed back in to the UK.

To whom it may concern:
I am writing regarding a letter I recently received from your office instructing me to leave the UK within 14 days due to my poor attendance. I humbly ask you to please reconsider your decision. A lot of things have gone on in my personal life that have been out of my control, and I would like to be given a second chance to continue my studies.
Education is extremely important to me, if not the most important issue aside from my family. If given a second chance, I will abide by the attendance policy. As of now, I have better control of my personal problems, so I can stay focused on my education.
Again, I humbly and sincerely ask you to please rethink your decision, as it will significantly affect my future.
Sincerely,
Your name

As others have indicated, a truthful letter may give you a second chance. I am a student myself, and understand the pressures. I do hope this works out for you.

You write "have not attended college for sometime (due to family probs)"
As long as 'sometime' isnt a couple of months or more, and you can explain the 'family probs' bit then you might be ok.
Just tell them what your family probs were.

If you were in UK to study and have not been studying then you have broken the rules of your visa and should go before they throw you out. It will be on your record that you abused the system and you will find it hard to come over here again.

you can mention that you have a very sick family member and you had to stay with them to help them recuperating. they were dying, or maybe eventually died. you had to be by the bedside to assist to their every need. or, you can mention that you are poor and you had to stop attending college temporarily in order to work and save money for your education. those are the most common and legitmate reasons that i have seen and heard. i am sure their are more but i cant think of any.
