Help HELP! TA noticed I wasn't attending class. planning to CTB this month in the dorms

[happy2die]

I stopped attending all my classes in October when I decided that I was going to CTB by the end of this semester. I also didn't take the last exam for this class. One of the TAs noticed that I hadn't been attending class for a month and emailed me, asking if everythings alright. What do I do?

I don't want her to contact anyone else to ask if I've been going to class because they might send intervention or get rid of my housing access. Should I reply? Should I just ignore it? PLS HELP I NEED HOUSING UNTIL THE END OF THR SEMESTER

Ignore it, that's what I did, and as long as you are legally enrolled in classes you still get your housing if you have paid it.

Just stop caring, but if you hear a knock at your door be sure to look and see if it's cops.

I have handled campus police before, so I would say DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR, even if they say they will break down the door. The campus has a key to your room, they will not bust your door down so if they are about to do it, answer the door.

They may ask to come in, DO NOT WAIVE YOUR 4th AMENDMENT RIGHT, tell them no, and exit your room and go out into the hallway so they legally cannot enter your room now without a warrant.

If you need to confront the police, SHUT THE HELL UP. Even if you think it will be in your favor, just shut up and just sit down and record audio with your phone. Ask the cops the following questions "am I under arrest? am I detained? or free to go?"

If they demand ID you are not legally required to give it up. If they are insistent, ask the following question. "Do you have reasonable suspicious that I have, will, or am going to commit a crime" if they say yes they are legally required to tell you the reason.

Then just chill, wait and turn the situation into your favor by forcing them to play by your rules.

What the hell? Since when is not attending classes a police matter?

Maybe talk to a guidance counsellor? Don't tell them you're suicidal, but tell them you're depressed and not attending classes. They might be able to help.
