I have mentioned before that I can't cope with school and that it makes me feel trapped and depressed but I really can't my mum and doctor say it's my depression and I really want to be home schooled however my mum says that she 'isn't clever enough' and 'wouldn't know what to do' but I really can't cope with it all. My mum suggested I moved school but I can't do that as it's not anything to do with that school in particular it's every school. Why can't it cope? And how will I get my mum to agree to homeschool me if it comes to it?

You're calling your mother mum which probably means you are in the UK. I don't know what the rules are for homeschooling in the UK. However, if it's the same as the US your mom replaces the teacher and not all parents are cut out to do that especially if they work. So you may be asking for her to do something she is not qualified to do.
I want to know why aren't you in therapy for your depression and why aren't you taking an antidepressant?
With the correct medication in the right dosage and supportive psychotherapy, there is no reason you can't function quite well in an educational atmosphere and learn how to cope with lifes ups and downs or stressors.
So homeschooling solves nothing. You need to talk over ALL the components with doctor, mom, and a school representative. Good luck!
My mum doesn't work and I do take antidepressants I just didn't think I needed to mention that also when I say doctor she is my therapist but thank you
