So I’m in year 10 right now and have been going to the same secondary school since year 7 (the beginning) , over the years I struggled with social behaviour and just this year about 3 months ago I was diagnosed with ASD , I also have developed insomnia and this year almost every school day I have had to show up either not at all or at period 2-4 , I live with my mum who tells me almost everyday when I can’t make it to school because of my lack of energy that I will be living with my dad soon , I believe my attendance is 65% as of now (somewhere near there) , school starts on september the 6th and right now it’s 27th of November , my mum gets a phone call everyday when I’m not in school on time and altogether it seems to be my fault although I cannot help it , my dad is not very financially stable and lives in a rough place in London , my dad is my dad but I just really couldn’t live if I didn’t live where I do right now In London with the same school and everything , with my attendance being 65% so far , does that mean that I am going to have to? My dad is apparently building a case but he has never said this only my mum has , I really just don’t even know what to do anymore with my life , I have big aspirations and dreams but I’m starting to feel like giving up because my future is looking terrible and I hate it . What do you think will happen , will I get kicked out ?

What does this have to do with personal finance?
Go to a doctor (NHS if you can't afford anything else) and see if they can do anything to help with your insomnia. Insomnia is sometimes caused by treatable medical problems.
You need to be in school on time every day. Any job you get to support yourself will require the exact same thing. It's about time you started learning that.
Your parents are legally responsible to get you into school each day and on time and as you live with your mum then she is legally responsible and I am sure she will get a fixed penalty and be prosecuted if you continue.......... sounds like your parents are both enabling this behaviour from you and your mum will end up in legal trouble, you will end up being excluded from school and mum will have to find you another school to take you and/or teach you at home so forget your" big aspirations and dreams" as dreams/aspirations need to have some reality and without a basic school education you are failing now, so the future looks bleak, 65% is disgusting attendance and I am suprised you are not already excluded

You need to grow up. You're a whiney lazy teenager. You're bringing all this on your self. I hope you have to go to your father's and he physically kicks your sorry @$$ out the door every morning.
If you were my child you would be dragged out of bed every day, fed breakfast and shoved out of the door. Your Mother is enabling you. I would take away your screens and send you to bed early. Your father is not going to help, but the problem lies with you and your mother.
Pull yourself together.
