So I'm worried. It's not necessarily anything that bad but I'm back for worry so I just need a place to express my worry.

Ever since I started secondary school I've had bad attendance, I'm shy and therefore hated school. The presentations, the lack of many friends, the irritation of not just being able to answer a single question without having a meltdown just got to me. So I just decided that pretending to be sick was easier.

When my little sister joined secondary school, because she is pretty influenced by how I act, her attendance started to go down too.

We had to have a few meetings with the head teacher along with our mum. We were told that unless attendance improves, mum may have to go to court. When we have these meetings, I had really bad mental health brought on by my period. I didn't want to eat, leave my room or exist really. (We've been to the doctor now, we're sorting it out).

My mum told them this and they were kind and offered support etc. Despite their understanding the whole process was still extremely never wracking and embarrassing.

I've left school now however, mum's just told me that school says my sister has had too much time off so they've contacted Ofsted. I know it's not effecting me directly but I'm so worried that it might, or that something bad's going to happen to my parents, especially because we were planning on letting my sister have tomorrow off so we could go on holiday.
