Answer 1

THIS IS NOT THE ANSWER! THIS IS THE QUESTION! I JUST NEED TOO EXPLAIN MYSELF

okay so i am 17 and I'm turning 18 in august. is there any way that i can possibly go live with a friend or on my own before i turn 18? the problem is that i don't know that happened but now me and my mother just don't get along. we used too. but that was before she got addicted to diet pills, and i seriously think that they made an effect on her brain because now shes bipolar. one minute she is nice and then the other she just blows off on me for nothing. and i used to live in this town with all my friends but i moved, but she made a promise to me that every weekend i would be able to come down and be with my friends. the school i am in now is really hard for me. i have no friends because I'm hispanic and people in that school is racist. and to think it would better at least going home, its not. we went bankrupt last February and since then my parents took off all the furniture in the house so the bank doesn't take. they made me pack away most of my clothes and everything. its almost been a year and i cant stand living in these conditions any more. i sleep on a cheap mattress on the floor because my good one is packed. i don't have a lot of clothes because most of it is packed in a storage place. they shut off the gas so therefor i don't take showers, i cant use the stove so everything i eat is microwaved and that made me gain weight. and its winter again and i don't have a heater. on top of that i don't have inter net and cable anymore at home so i sit there and do nothing. because i cant do anything. my parents complain that i don`t do chors like washing the dishes but the water is so cold it hurts my fingers. so all i have to look forward to is my weekends with my friends and my boyfriend of a year. and of course my mother always tells me i can go and then the day before she changes her mind. she says that i do nothing and that i should get a job. so i do. i apply at McDonald's and i get it. for my first job it wasn't bad. but once i got it they complained that i couldn't work because they weren't going to sit around all day at home to drive me to work. so after my interview i never showed up again. time went by and once again they complained about me not getting a job so i did, i got one at finish line, and Loews theaters. but i couldn't go to them. i am really close to my boyfriends mom and family and i been talking to her and she said that she would take me in. but only legally of course. so she said for me to go to court and try to get it, but i did research and i read that the court wont let me because even with a job, it wont be enough for me to support myself. but she said she would help me and support me, like a parent. and the only thing i have to do is get a job part time because i am a junior in high school. is there anything i can do with that ? because i had enough i try my best at everything to make them happy and it doesn't work. just like tomorrow is Thanksgiving and i was supposed to go to my boyfriends house and celebrate with him and his family, my mom said yes. and today last minute she changed her mind. and its not like she said that because she wants to have family time because its that's not the case. tomorrow shes working all day even though she could have had off and get paid for it. so I'm going to be home alone eating chef boyardee tomorrow.

Well honey, you can go to the courts and ask about emancipations. That is a way you can get away from your parents but you should have a job that can support you and a stable place for you to live in.
