Depression Understood Forums

I don't really know what I'm even doing here, this isn't my sort of thing.
I guess I'll just get into it then.
Currently, I'm a student (15) but I'm trying to leave school to pursue a TAFE course.
Though my high school won't actually let me leave.
They think I'm leaving because my grades are suffering and won't listen to me when I tell them that I can't put myself into that environment without risking my emotional and physical health.
I am diagnosed with depression, anxiety and social anxiety but not currently on any medication.
My school wants me to continue until the end of the first semester, which is not over for several months, even though my parents and I are insisting they let me out immediately.

Hi Nina
Could you not get a doctor to help fight your corner with you and your folks? It might help to add some professional weight to your words. Making assumptions about your motives and not taking your health seriously sounds dangerous to me. Would they be so belligerent if you had an identifiable physical disease that was affecting your ability to be at school, I wonder?
I hope you get the outcome you want and need, by the sound of it. On the plus side, it sounds like you have supportive parents, which is lovely.
Good luck with everything. X

Hi Nina, it always helps to write things out. Best part is that sometimes you can get this just huge sigh of relief when you are done and you have the strength to continue the battle.
Do you have things that you practice daily to help you, seeing as you aren't on any medications right now?
You are very lucky to have such supportive parents. And I think you are a very strong person knowing what you want to purse at 15.
Good luck to you, Always keep fighting,
