hates school

i  hate school. i cannot stand my school so i skip it almost every day. luckily, i am a smart person and i'm in all of the advanced classes and don't have reputation as a rebel. only the people who really know me know about my strange feelings. my parents don't care  - they don't even mention it if i don't go to school. what i end up doing is sleeping all day and then staying up all night talking to my imagination. i get behind in my work and when i try to go back to school i get a bunch of crap from my teacher and all of my friends juat laugh. i just get so depressed when i think about it. i have given up on trying to go back and now am considering dropping out altogether, but i really don;t want to do that because i realize it would ruin my life. i don't want to go back at all but i also don't want to ruin my life. i am so confused and i have really tried to go back and just can't take it. what should i do? :)

Help me and my family

my family don't get along. i mean, it's like we all hate each other. it's my dad, mum, me, and my brother. i'm the eldest. we all have certain problems. my dad wants to quit smoking, so his really stressed out. i am really selfish ( i just can't help it). my mum is too bossy. she think she is better than the rest of us and that she is the only one who helps my dad. and sometimes my mum is kind of abusive and depressed. we always start fights everyone and she's really  spoiled. and my dad doesn't yell at her for doing things wrong and when he does, she laughs at him.
my brother makes messes and doesn't clean them up. i  really want to help because i don't like being upset all the time and having everyone hate everyone else. even when we starts to get along, someone will say something to upset someone else. just help me and my family.
