Question About Dropping an AP Class and Help/Advice On my Situation?

Ok so I went into a depression/anxiety in the past month and a half. I ended up missing school sometimes during this time, and began not sleeping at all at nights, and getting exhausted at early times.

One day I had to do 5 tests in one day, and I couldn't sleep at all so my mom wanted me to stay home. Btw I missed about 5 days of school so far....... into the first quarter and started in late August. The first quarter is over and I am in quarter two now (3rd day) and after this all happened to get me help I had to miss a 2 days into the new quarter, but I am excepted to be back in school tomorrow and not miss another day.

My dad thinks I am overwhelmed and without telling me drops me from AP Biology and puts me in a class I have no interest and surprisingly has a nice amount of work Photography I.

He did all this without consulting me, thinking it's for my best interest, and my mom unfortunately agreeing with him.

He now realized he handled the situation wrong and not discussing it with me and listening to me, and after talking to the Vice Principal a bunch he is going to try to switch me back into AP Biology which I am now behind from not being in the class.

He doesn't have much hope him getting me back in it will be very successful, and not giving me much hope. I haven't been to school right now for the past few days since I kind went into a depression, but I am going back tomorrow, and going to make up everything.

At the start of the year I was in 4 AP Classes and 3 Honors AP Psych, U.S, Bio, and English Lang, and Honors Spanish 3, Physics, PreCalculus. I was already dropped from Spanish 3 after being in it for a month and it's not going to be on my transcript, I had an A in it by the way. Now after Quarter 1 in AP Biology I had the 3rd highest grade in the class and an A in the class. How will this show on my transcript if I am unable to get back in it tomorrow.

I love the class, and hate to drop it. I have 6 A's now and 1 B in Pre Calc after doing really really bad on one test I had to take even though I was absent..... So again dropping a class with an A in it, how bad will that look? I'm preying I get to stay in AP Biology, the teacher said I can make up my work and make up tests and lab at my own pace and understands what I'm going through since she has a child of her own.

Wait, your parents dropped without you knowing it? Weird. I thought the student has to sign as well, otherwise it can't be dropped.

Hmmm...I would try to go through some of the stuff (are you using Campbell's?) so you won't be too far behind if you do get back in. Biology is great because there isn't any tricky math/concepts that you have to learn by yourself. It's all memorization.

Try to get back in. Tell them that this was all done without your knowing. It looks like you have a tough course load and your parents just want to take a weight off your burden. Could you drop something else?
