I'm not sure if this is the right forum, but it's the closest match I could find.

Now, this is probably going to sound pretty stupid, but it's a serious problem I'm worried about. I'm addicted to wagging school. I like school, I've got plenty of friends, I don't get bullied, I like all the teachers and I like all the classes... except maths. My parents have split up, and I live with my mum. My mum leaves for work at 5:30 AM and school doesn't start until 9:00 AM and I don't live that far away from my school, so she just leaves it up to me to make my way to school. One morning when I was getting ready for school, I saw that it was a really crappy day, every class I had there was a test, and in every class I had there was homework due, and I totally forgot the homework, I really did, so I thought, "I'll stay home today, and that's it." But after that one day I got addicted to it, I'll have off 2 weeks at a time, part of me is saying "Go to school you idiot, you like it, you need to learn." And another part of me is saying "Why go to school, when you can stay home and write your stories and play video games?" I really need help. What should I do?

Just go. Maybe get somebody to take you. We have the same birthday.

Arrange to walk to school with friends who live nearby. If you both agree that they will knock for you instead of meeting you at an agreed point then that will apply more pressure for you to actually go to school.

If there are any extra-curricular clubs before school (e.g. badminton) then consider going along to them with a friend. That way you are both already on school grounds.

fight it...go to school, just as you made the habit of staying home, make the habit of going to school. This uasually happens during puberty, when emotional change happens..but school is important! So fight, fight fight!
