Going back to school is this hard?
Dear Advisers,
Just call me scaredy, I'm female, age 17, and I'm really troubled... I stopped going to school because of my fears and I'm really scared... Its been 2 years already, almost 3. I really want to go back to school. But something is holding me back. Every time I meet my previous classmates, I feel insecure and I would sometimes run away from them literally. They are already in 2nd year college while I'm still in 12th Grade. I felt bad, now I am locking myself here in our house. I never went out for 4 months already... But I want to go back to school... So badly.... The only solution I can think of is that I move somewhere else... I hate here, I despise this place... But I will surely miss my parents, if I will move out. But if its the only thing that can make me go back to school, then I will... The only problem is.... I haven't told my parents yet... Also if I tell them, they will certainly say no... We are having financial problems recently and me moving could add up to that problem.... What should I do??? People have been telling me to fight my fears... But I can't... No matter what I do, I really can't... I can't....

I think you might have a nervous disorder like my mom.so i would reccomend that you make an appoitment with a doctor. if you have a job that should cover the expense if you pay for it. i really do think that is your problem or something very similar from experience of living with someone with a nervous disorder.they should diagnose you and give you a perscription thats best for your body and will balance out your system and youll see a big change.its nothing to be ashamed of or your fault you just need to get the help.

Well is there another school you go to in your area maybe a little bit more of a drive or anything...or what you could do find a couple of friends that will be in your grade and create your self a support group share your fear with them so they can help you through it

Dear, you have classical symptoms of Social Anxiety Disorder. You should see a doctor to be diagnosed or to rule this out and seek treatment or counseling. I don't know whether a school nurse or a counselor could help you. School, a job, friends, and everything else in your life is dependent on your getting your anxiety under control. Nothing else can happen until you do that. Seventeen is NOT too old to be in high school. It is, in fact, average, so no one should be judging you. A change of scenery might do you good, but you may need to tough it out in your small town until you graduate or get your GED so you can move on to a college setting. There, you might be able to escape your past and fit in better. Most of all, though, get help for your anxiety. Good luck.

well i think you should go to counsoling about your fears. i know even that may be scary but they really do help you and they know what they are doing. and about moving, if you have a family member that lives somewhere else call them up and ask if you could live with them so you could go to school there. then consult your parents about it. best of luck to you x3
