This all started when I was failing the 10th grade and I had to get summer school: my dad blocked 90% of my apps, including ones that I had friends on as punishment for having low grades. He also ended up taking my Xbox and TV too, so I had no entertainment during my last week's of school now turned hell. He also threatened to take my personal MP3 player and headphones that I bought with my own money. He started treating me like shit more than usual and would get super aggressive, take out whatever anger he had on me and generally try to find ways to be mad at me. I'm scared and I don't know what to do. Nobody at my school likes me, my dad is treating me like some kind of animal and I feel hopeless, lost and like I have nobody now. There's not much I can do but wait for it to be over.
#I think I'm slowly becoming depressed and antisocial and it's my Dad's fault.

Hey. I get that. Usually, stuff like this will cause you to spiral and overthink, leading to other events that we want to prevent. Are there any things that you can do without technology?
I believe it is hurtful to isolate you from friends. Sure, a punishment should make you uncomfortable but shouldn't be to where you are hurting mental health.
If anything, I would just ask dad, "Hey, can I talk to my friends for a little bit, I really need to talk to them"
I can draw? I have a large notebook and some mechanical pencils.
Do you like drawing?
Yeah- I like drawing my OC do silly things.
But I haven't recently drawn because massive art block.
Also because I can't draw poses and hands we'll...
THen do that! I would really like to see some art work
I can onlydraw shapes.
I'll try when I get home.
Do you like any games? You can watch other people play them
I sometimes watch my sis play DBD, Fortnite and Spligate 2
Tell me more about DBD. What's it stand for?
Dead by Daylight?
Yeah.
Gotcha. What do you do in that game?
Is it like a run away game? where you run away from a person?
I heard something like that? You turn on generators, and escape this creepy guy?
A 4v1 game
Yeh
I gotcha. I know what you are talking about. Watched some of it, it looks fun.
You have a good connection with your sister?
Mhm
We play lots of games together
Mainly Fortnite
Biology and World History
That's cool. You do anything else?
We talk a lot about our lives, make silly jokes and just be goofy
Ok. Is it where you are late with work or is it that you don't understand?
Biology > didn't understand
World History > late, slept in class accidentally a lot
I have summer school
Ok. World History I would recommend looking at a better seating chart. Maybe somewhere you can't sleep at? Causing you to be attentive.
Biology. I get it, that class sucks. I would recommend talking to your teacher if you could work with him for help and to understand more. I would also recommend getting an IEP for help, which should be accepted by a psychologist. A 401 plan should also help.
I already have an IEP...
Gotcha. Ok have you asked if you can focus on that topic?
Or if you can have extra time to work on your assignments? By law, teachers have to listen to an IEP
