im 13 and i am so close to just ending it bc of school

[lemon-lexy]

i am in the 8th grade and i already just want to leave i have changed schools and everything and i really just want to leave. I am constantly skipping class, skipping school, injuring myself on purpose to get out of school ect. I am constantly begging my dad to let me homeschool. The 2 week holidays  are almost over and i don't want to go back considering the fact that i had the most embarrassing thing of my life happened right on the last week of term one. A girl got on my friends nerves and her and my friend got in a fight, i went to separate them and the girl who is infamously weird dislocated my knee and i have not been back since so i am soooo scared.

Hey Bulldog (from your avatar!).

Quite a scary situation to find yourself in.

So this fight had nothing to do with you other than putting yourself in the middle of it?
And I presume you are wearing some sort of cast/support for your knee - are you on crutches?
This incident would have been reported to the school - any charges laid?

There is a lot to said for going back to school to show your determination not to be intimidated by the callous actions of others. Standing up for yourself (passively) sends that message (and often receives kudos from classmates and teachers alike who will rally behind you).
It also sounds like your friend could do with some emotional support as well.

Keep your distance from the 'weird' one for a while, and stay close to your friends. Standing together in solidarity is preferable to shying away from fear as you are sure to develop resilience to confrontational encounters - school is but a microcosm of society and the actions taken now will serve you well in the real world in the future.
