no, you should be worried. they wont get anywhere in life, im not trying to be mean, but its the sad honest truth. Education means everything. You need a job and you need to make money to get by in the messed up world. Talk to your mom, or dont you have grandparents, uncles/aunts, etc., ?

Talk to your father about it. Talk to their school, your mom, and disconnect the damn internet. Tell them to get a life and at least go to school and make friends and hang out/party.
Tell them, without a damn diploma, you can barely work at McDonalds and you can't join the military, so basically, most options are taken away.
My friend's parents just got a baseball bat and crashed the computer to a million pieces. It's your call.
Since your mother won't take the responsibility, just make your own choice. Talk to your siblings counselor and tell them to try to call and meet up with your parents and talk to them about their future.

Every state has laws regarding truancy. Parents can be prosecuted if their children are not attending school or are being properly home schooled.

This is something you need to discuss with your mother and other family members. Frankly, I'm surprised the school hasn't notified the proper authorities already. In the eyes of the law, this is a form of child neglect and is punishable.

How old are they?


me too
At this stage, all you can do is focus on your own future.

You have spoken to your siblings and you have spoken to your mom, other than perhaps getting the school to be more proactive about attendance, then you really can't do alot.

But have pleasure in knowing that your future will be bright - and you don't have to bail them out when you are older.

Don't worry about it to much because the school will call your mother and get on her case about it. she will get in trouble not them. Also have you tried telling your brother and sister that them computer games they are playing were made by people who finished high school and went to college.

You should tell your mother if they dont go to school and are skipping school SHE (your mother) can be charged with a crime. Seriously. Your mother can go to jail for not forcing her kids to school.

Legally they need to be in school, if your mother will not send them, then she risks the chance of the state stepping in and all of you being sent to foster homes. You could become a ward of the state and she could lose her parental rights. But then again it does not sound like she is all that worried about it.


Mimi C
If they listen, you should force them to go to school and tell them if they get good grades, they can stay home and play video games all summer long or something like that so they have a long term reward.


Pasion
Morally you seem to be obligated to act upon such act in the case these are minors. Which I am assuming they are. Try to talk to mom and if this persist I truly suggest you call school and tell them what you think and is going on in your household. You seem like a good kid and it's nice when you want to do what is right! God bless you and your family.

Look up some statistics on the internet that show how much adults make money wise that don't finish school. Compare that to the kids who do finish school.


BOSS*

kenny-(a)
talk to your counselor about that so they can arrange things.
you can also bribe them to go.
if they you want them to be successful in the future then dont let your worries go.


Mother ******
