Therapy is for Americans. It will also prove I am not religious enough. And how evil I am or whatever. With how much she says in mentally stupid or whatever I don’t know why she doesn’t but yeah. I can’t get help until I get my own doctor or whatever. I’m not even sure what age is that. I know pediatricians are till like 21
Im not even trying to rebel. I just can’t make her happy. Like I just can’t. Like I went into high school not being allowed to have friends, she’s tried to get me to quit my activities that won’t look good to colleges. I have to lie abt everything saying Harvard would love it and I feel guilty. I don’t want a long term memory. I hate high school and all of it. I can’t interact with people right and it shows.
I think most of the parents seem to genuinely care, even if it’s selfish. I know my mom cares though but I think most parents realize NYU isn’t a safety with a 10% acceptance rate.
Even if you see a pediatrician, there are limits on what the doctor can tell your parents. Mental health is one of the issues that you can address with your pediatrician.
I know in California you can submit a Confidential Communication Request to your insurance provider and request mental health services on your own, without your parent’s consent, if you feel that may be beneficial. I am not sure about other states, but imagine there is likely something similar.
The form looks like this:
After age 14, parents do not have right to access child’s chart due to privacy laws. If you request info to remain confidential, they should stay confidential.
Also back to your original question. For most full semester schools, last day to withdraw should be Sometime in April. But when you meet with Dean, some pleading should go a long way for what you are going thru.
Smartest guy in my med school class went to CUNY. The first guy to drop out after 6 week was an Asian guy from Yale. There are threads in CC that debates these points. May be mom should read some of them?
My doctor defintely would not be chill like that 
. I don’t wanna stereotype but I think she’s a bit more traditional or wtv
Yeah but then she’d get mad.
My mom doesn’t know about CC and thank God. The comparison would go crazy. I’ll just let her be for now. I don’t want to talk to her.
If you disclosed that you had “bad thoughts”, if that means about possibly harming yourself or others, those around you did the right thing by sharing that. We are somewhat concerned about you and your posts here. Please talk to your school counselor.

It’s not about being chill. It’s the law.

The counselor shared that information with a teacher that had nothing to do with it. It also got to students from the teacher, not the girl who I shared it with.
I’m sorry for concerning you. I’ll refrain from bringing it up more. I just think the cons outweighs the pros
I don’t think she’ll follow it. Maybe I’m being paranoid but I’d rather be safe than sorry. I don’t want to upset people here so I’ll drop it. Thank you for your help.
I emailed my counselor. It’s going up to the dean now.

We’ve had some bad experiences with getting school counselors involved, bad mistake (and one of our closest friends is the principal who reminded us to never bring any mental health issues up to the school in any way, their first priority is cover their butts). Self harm or harm to others wasn’t an issue, school was 100%, he wasn’t allowed to attend.
Risk of being reprimanded by Moderator for going off topic again.
Agree generally speaking, talking about stress/anxiety/generally difficulties in life with someone you know, or a mandatory reporter (teachers, doctors, whoever)is not a great idea. Things get escalated quickly and out of proportion almost always. BUT if life gets you down THAT much, please do talk to someone. There are usually support hotlines in every city. Example, in NYC 988 Mental Health Support · NYC311
Put your phone on block, they won’t know you. At least there is someone you CAN talk to.

Okay, I’m sorry.

There no need to be sorry. I was being sarcastic with the moderator remark.
Plus don’t be sorry for asking for help. I wish there was something like this when I was back in HS.
Not sure where this is true, but unfortunately that is not true in my state.
Yeah, I don’t believe that to be the case in my state, either (in fact, I remember I officially lost access to my D’s patient portal the day she turned 18, and not before). However…There are some specific services - including sexual health (birth control, STDs, etc), drug addiction, and mental health issues - that can be requested to be kept confidential between doctor and patient and that confidentiality would be protected by law. But also don’t know if that’s the case in the other states, and I suspect some states (cough, cough, red states) do not have such protections.
