i was charged with truancy and have to go to court tomorrow for the second time. (ninth grade last year, and now tenth.) last time we got away with no fines other than the court fee, but i'm positive this time we won't. i don't go to school for several reasons, the main being that it makes me depressed, because i hate everyone there. i don't like going there or seeing any of the people. i know it's a lame excuse, but if i had the choice to stay home rather than have to deal with the people there, i'd stay home. i've been thinking about it and i realized that i just need to grow up and deal with it, and from here on out i'm going to be good. do you think if i tell the judge that he'll have any leniency on me? do you think my mother will go to jail? it's not her fault at all, because she tries really hard to get me to go, but i just refuse, or i'll skip certain classes. we don't have a lot of money either, so is it likely that i could convince him to let me do community service or something like that? i know i've been messing my life up, but i really want to change it now.
is there anything i can say to him that could help me get him to be lenient on my mom? i take full responsibility and i don't want anything to happen to her.
we live in texas, i know the law varies by state.
i'm obviously expecting "stiffer penalties", but i was hoping someone could expand more into it, like exactly what might happen.
