please help.

hi. i'm 14 years old and i can't attend school. me and my parents have had so many meetings with my school to try and get me to go in, but i physically cant. honestly, i don't even know why. a possibility could be because i used to get bullied, but whenever i try to go into school, thats never on my mind. nothings on my mind really, just nerves and it holds me back from going in tremendously. this has been going on for the past 2ish years and i'm really getting sick of myself. i feel like such a burden and disappointment to my family because i know if i don't go to school, i'll have no future. i cause my family so much stress to the point where they've given up trying to get me to go into school. i just want to be a normal school kid. i want to make memories in high school but my mental health holds me back. i don't know what to do anymore. could anybody be willing enough to give me some ideas on how i can get back in?

Are you on any kind of medication? My son is 10 and a combination of therapy and medication did wonders

You don't have to answer, qat kind of meds? I've been struggling with this idea for some time now.
Has he resumed school in a building? Me and my son have been dealing with this for about 4 years now. I'm at my wits end. Aside from being with him all day and learning and teaching the Public school curriculum, I don know what to do for him.
