At about week 4 of Term 4 2004, my principal put me on extended leave, and I have been off school since then. Unfortunately I am currently in Year 12 and no teachers have sent work home for me so I am very behind on work. The principal says I shouldn't bother starting again with all my subjects because it will be too stressful, but do the HSC over 2 years. I don't really want to go to school again next year because I will be in a classroom with people I dont know and none of my friends will be at the school. Should I bother trying to catch up on the work?
