Answers:
GO BACK TO SCHOOL. deal with it lock yourself in your room and wait to move away for college. the best part is you made it 17 years why would 1 more year kill you just deal with it and go back to scool
You can't leave.not until you are at least 18. That's when you will be considered an adult by law.
You can't drive? You better do that. And get a job, and get a car, and get an apartment..it's a lot to get when you don't have a college degree. If you don't think you need college-----think again. You are sadly mistaken.
get a job and carpool to work..i'm 13 and i'm depressed.and i need to see the doctor because i'm depressed..and i don't think i'll be able to go to college because i dont think i'd be able to handle it.
Can you stay with a friend or extended family? That's what I did. Just find a job. The best place to look would be something dealing with food. They're the easiest places to find jobs because people are always leaving. As long as you have SOME income, you can look for a better job. It's going to look really bad that you dropped out of HS though, you're probably better off just staying in school and working.
Well, i would say, STICK IT OUT... i highly doubt your life is Absolutely horrible..
you could do things to make the arguements go away..
and i say go to college.. because thats how you get by these days..
you dont need to drive, use the bus, but if you want to drive then i guess you will need your moms money, if she has it... for the lessons, so basically... you should MAKE UP with your family, its probably the thing that will get you started..
BUT if you dont want to do anything the easy way, i would suggest McDonalds or some other fast food place, and then look at the sunday paper for a better job.
good luck
It sounds like you need to chill out for a while. You need to step away from th etroubles at home and take a vacation. Where exactly are you located. You need to hang out with people that are into what you like and stop worrying so much on things at home. Im almost 21 and ive been on my own since i was 16. Ive worked since i was 15. You need to get you mind off of your problems and just relax. I could use some relax time myself. LOL. Cheers
well to be honest with u, i think u should stick it out at the house until u garduate from high school, so at least go back to school and finish it up. college would be great, but not necassary, hoever most work places are going to at least want u to have ur high school diploma. Get a decent job, start saving money. Depending on where u live, do u really need to get a car right away to go places? or could u possable save for an apartment and get it within walking distance of ur job and grocery stores. Have u maybe asked a friend if u could move in with them? if thats not a possability, maybe u and a friend of yours could get an apt. together..that way the bills are split and things would be much more affordable. good luck and dont give up, brighter days will come, always do!
You really gotta get a job first. Do you have any friends that can get you on where they work and maybe roommate and carpool too? I got away from home by moving in with the people I babysat for, it wasn't ideal, but it did get me out earlier than I would have on my own. Then a girlfriend helped me get a minimum wage job where she worked and we two girls got a cheap place together. It is very hard at first, but your home life sounds like it would be a good change for you.
Live well and do good.
it isn't realistic to run and you know it...not with so many strikes against you. so, what you do instead is get that job while living in your madhouse home...meaning you will be there less. earn money to pay for driving lessons (in the states, it's curriculum). learn to drive and work your job. the important things right now are food and shelter, which you can't provide for yourself. i know it's tough, but i also think you've got a good head on your shoulders. pls. take my advice, it is meant to be nothing but helpful.
well if i was you, i would run away, far far away and never look back and then try to work out things myself, i had rather live on the streets than put of with that stuff so i guess do what ever you want , and if you run away, go to walmart cuz there open 24 hours a day and if you really really really need a place to stay you could always steal something and let them catch you then go to jail and have shelter, food and water away from your family lol thats if worse comes to worse though
well first of all don't stop getting dat medication b/c u can get awful effectz trust meh i'm 13 and am getting medication 2!
Please,
for your sake, go back to school emediatly. You will have a better chance at getting a job and be able to get money to pay for collage and the car stuff and an appartment when you are older. And for gosh sake, do not smoke marajuana! That will make everything worse and you will be more depressed! Do not do that! Stay away from drugs whatever you do.
*Hope this helped!
Please go back to school... I wish you luck!
school a high school diploma.trust me ive been there.
Do you have any friends that you can stay with for a few days? Possibly during that time you could make phone calls. I would start with department of children and family services. Call anonymosly and tell them your situation. I am hoping they could give you some names of agencies that could help you. In some states you would could be immacipated and be considered an adult. Also I dont know how far job opportunities are for you but, if close enough start filling out applications.There are many companies that you can fill your app out online Lowes,Menards etc are a couple. Google a company that you might be interested in most have websites Good luck and God bless you I will keep you and your family
in my prayers.
finish school or get your GED and join the military!
Go to college. Work your a** off to pay for it. It will be worth it. I thought I didn't need a degree and have been working full time since I was 18. Now I am 26 and trying to work full time and go to school because I DO need a degree. Look at job postings and see how many REQUIRE a BA... almost all of the good ones do! If you want/need out so badly, pick a school that is far away from home. You will get out of your current situation and get yourself into a MUCH better one without compromising your future.
This is your life and very serious. So think every decision through to the end.
Right now, at 17, you are equal with your peers. In a few years they will be graduating while you are wiping grease and sweat off your brow from working at some fast food place. Maybe you'll have a child.
Right now, if you work and they don't, the money you earn will seem like enough but it isnt.
So your peers will go on, some to college, some increasing their intelligence and their vocabulary and maybe you'll be stuck w no one but baby to talk to.
Oh, yes, you may have paid for your driving lessons but a car, insurance, tag fees and title fees will be too much to pay for so your drivers license will be good for ID, or say you do manage to buy a car-what about gas, oil,maintainence and repair.
Maybe you'd have childcare to pay for-which basically equals your pay. So eventually, your real life needs are going to be unaffordable with your real life income.
Now, tho you dont care about it now-maybe-there will be the social issues. Are you going to want to go to a school reunion years later? What about bagging groceries in a store that many of your school chums that have their degrees shop at?
You're young, probably look healthy and nice. Your hard life is going to age you, and a frown will be your normal face expression.
Sweetie, the ticket out of the pits you are in is an education. Dont blow it for yourself b/c you wont have a chance to be 17 again and make a better choice.
Its all about education in this world.
Go back. Re-enroll. Spend your study time at the library, at a diner, anywhere you can. If you go to school you can also work part time in evenings which will make you spend less time at home.
Do good for yourself. You're in my prayers.
