How old are you now? Do you have a job or are you still in education?

Could you talk to the school again or contact social services yourself? Is there a more distant relative you may wish to live with? I know that it's really hard to be honest and speak up but if you dont then none of those professionals around you will know what is happening for you. Do you have a social worker? You need to be being crystal clear what is happening at home, that you feel that it has adversely affected your mental health, and that you would like help to live somewhere else. You so need to realise though that this will be foster care or a children's home at your age

If you're not happy with the response from your social worker you could contact their manager, ring the social workers number and whoever answers should give you their name. You could also ring the duty team, number should be on your council website. Your school should also have a safeguarding officer you could tell them. Explain you don't feel safe and it's affecting your mental health

It sounds like you are a young carer - have you had any support caring for your mum?

Have a look here to see if there are local support services:
carers.org/

Also give the NSPCC a call on 0808 800 5000, they can support and talk through your problems and how to get more help.

A better option to foster care could be to find a family member or family friend or parents of a friend (preferably not boyfriend's parents) to take you in. It is a big ask though.

Going into 'care' at 15 is a risky step. You could end up away from your current location, in a new school, without your friends.

Oh my god, you poor darling. (You’re the same age as my girl, so I feel protective of you). Can you call Childline? They might be able to tell you who could help you, and they’d certainly listen and take you seriously. You van go to your GP alone, if you have one, too. I will listen and hold your hand, if that would be any use.
Really well done for working hard at school, that will help you get out faster.
