okay i have a BIG problem , i hate going to the school i go to and ive been really depressed lately. I try to tell my parents i dont want to go to that school but of course like most parents they dont listen. All i do is cry and i hardly get any sleep at night..i need a break from all of it i try to tell them i need a break before going to school to clear my head so i can actually pay attention. How is the best way to tell them all of this and how do i get their attention for atleast 5 minutes? Thank you sooooo much!! Xoxo

Tell them everything you have said here in a very serious and mature way. Do not say anything like you are going to kill yourself if they don't listen as this will just result in them thinking that you are just trying to get attention and they will then not listen to you. Once your relative fully understands the problem and that your parents don't seem to understand how important it is, get them to speak to your parents. They will be more willing to listen if it is coming from another adult who completely believes how terrible the situation is. Then hopefully they will take steps to make your life happier.
If this doesn't work, try telling one of your teachers at school about it as this will really force your parents to face the problem. Also, you could try phoning a helpline found in the phone book or the advice sections is magazines to ask for further advice.

Why is it you don't want to go? Somebody giving you a hard time? Maybe they don't have a choice where they send you to school.Most school districts will charge you extra if you don't live in their district.I'm sure that didn't help much, maybe you can give a few more details?
