What do you think about opening an Afro-centric school in Toronto?

I think I have what is called "School Phobia"?

• Hi. I'm 13, and I think I have whats called "School Phobia." I hate school and will try to do everything to avoid going. About one month ago I was terrified to go to school and I have no idea why. I was refusing to go and wouldn't leave my bedroom. But I soon got over that. My first year of school was fine and I didn't find anything about it bad, until I started to get bullied all over again.. I don't really have any friends at school, and I hate being around a lot of people, and I would much prefer being in a room on my own. I've told my mum I would prefer being home schooled, but she can't afford it because it's only been me and her since I was 4. She doesn't know how much school is messing me up. I start to panic when going to school and I don't think this is good. I'm on the verge of a nervous brake down!. I can't talk to my mum about this because I've had 3 days off this week and she'll think I'm just making up excuses to not go to school I feel so depressed at the moment : ( Is there anything I can do? Thank you~♥

• Answer:

  You dont have school phobia...its the bullies that u are afraid of. U need to tell someone. have you told your mum about these bullies? if not then u must, it will make her more understanding towards your serious lack of enthusiasm for school and avoiding it so often. Tell your teachers. You are not alone, there are people around to help you, u just need to open up to them and tell them exactly what is troubling you. You cant leave it bottled up....that will just make things much worse. Please speak to someone.
