Q: Depressed

I'm depressed about a whole bunch of things right now..But school is the main one okay here goes:

all pregnant people that are out from school get excused absences...Well the office is a retard and they havent been excusing me. I could be counted as truent or get held back. My mom..The doc..The hospital called the office and clearly let them know that I would be out of school.

Heres what ticks my timer....Everyone who is pregnant gets a tutor..Well I dont cause my freaking principle didnt sign the paper in enough time. So I have to make up all my work by myself..Then im going back to school for halfdays next week.

It's not fair. Im trying to bust my butt for school and make something of myself and half the girls that are pregnant or already have babies that got everything that there supposed to get will either still being working in a grocery store or a fast food place. Or living off the state. It's not fair.
I can't controll my crying and I feel like just crawling ina hole.

Well if I get held back or counted as truent im quitting school...Cause I cant deal witht his...Its not fair and I feel like..I dont know what I feel like.But ill let all of you go. You probably wont reply to this much anyways..As seems that I like to get ignored on here because everyone is too busy saying how everyone is fake, and then you get people like me whos lokoing for help ignored

Omg
What if when you see the truancy officer you show him your excuses or get copies of the excuses for the days you missed. I would be upset to hun. If they do take you to court or try to hold you back, you should smack them in the face with a lawsuit. Have your mom, Dr., everybody come together and try to get this worked out. Maybe you should let it go to the truancy, that way you can prove your case. The same thing happened to me. I got truancy on me and he told me to bring in all my doctor excuses in since I told him the problem. I did and they dropped it.
Good luck with that. I hope it works for you. About the fake junk, lots of people are being ignored. Look at all the reviews, my gosh, you would think somebody died!! I wish ya the best of luck, let me know how it turns out.
Lots of love,
heather

I think school is important and even tho all the stuff on here about fakers is going down I wouldnt let that get to u u seem like u have more on ur plate to deal with than that.

I wouldnt quit school because that would be like they have won and proved that single mothers are quitters and then u would just become a statistic I would use it as determination to prove them wrong.

I hope everything gets better for u and u work everything out.

I Agree Allusivepond
I agree with allusivepond. Do it to prove them wrong for all single mothers. If I was still in school now I would do it for all the single mothers to let them know we do have a chance and we can win this! You go girl. When you all go to school you make sure they don't twist it around on you. Sounds like you got a nice supportive mother. Good luck and let us know how it turns out.
Lots of love,
heather

Yeah girl you can do it! I used to have these problem all the time and you wanna know what worked for me? Yelling at them. It actually intimidates them that a student would stand up to them. Like earlier this year this teacher (not even one of mine) kept harrassing me about my shoes. I told him I had a doctors note and I was allowed becaus eof swollen feet. Well he said I was no exception to the rule. I got in his face and told him that the day he became pregnant, and had to deal with the extra weight, back pain, low blood sugar, swollen feet and all the other crap I have to go through, I would gladly listen to him gripe about my shoes. But until that day comes, keep his mouth shut. Then he tried to take me to the assistant proncipal about it and I told him that he had already okay'd it. I just told him to get off his high incredibly horse because he's an english teacher not the principal. That's really all you can do. Don't rely on officers and doctors to do it for you. Get a doctors note explaining your absences, go to the office, and harrass them until they straighten it out. School never do anything on their own. I have to call and harrass them about getting my work together at least 3 times a week. Take charge girl. Don't take no for an answer. You would be amazed at what wimps they are when you stand up to them. Good luck and you are very important here!

If I were you, i'd go bust in on the principals office and let him know exactly how you feel. Let all your frustrations out and tell him how hard you've been working and that you think he could at least try to help you out a little more since you've already helped yourself out so much! Trust me...I know how you feel. I'd be going off! Lol. It took me a while to get things straightened out with my schooling at first...Matter of fact i've finished school and they've never given me a report card yet. They should have like 3 months ago. Don't give up though, you'll be glad you stayed in school in the end. Don't let them win by giving up...Fight till the end girl! Good luck!
