What is a 16yr old supposed to do when they get kicked out of their home?

Answer 1

You didn't mention if you were still in high school or were working (or both.) I know it's tough out there. There must have been a good reason why your parents kicked you out of the house. If you can't mend your problems with your parents then try to find family in the area to see if you can live with one of them on a temporary basis until you can get a better paying job to support yourself. If you have no relatives, then you are going to have to swallow your pride, think about your attitude towards your parents and treat them with respect, but also, if you give them respect you should be receiving it. Hopefully they will take you back in.

What you are going through is what I call "flexing one's muscles of independence" and that's what you are doing. You are a man, but still young, so you have to put up with house rules, do some chores around your parent's home, and if working, pay some rent. No one get's a free ride in this world.

Good luck Marcy

Answerhopefully you have a friend that you can stay with or another relative until you can get on your feet. Answerthere are many shelters for homeless teens if you are desperate. they offer food and shelter especially in the wintertime. go to ones specifically designed for youth. you get better care that way. Answer

U need to start fresh. If Your parents kicked you out at age 18 first you need to find a buddy to live with. not your friend going to college or something one that has a home. A relative or friend that cares about you. If that doesn't work out go to a place that provides for the homeless. If not you're a bum. well you're already one kind of but not yet, just half way there. If you cant find a home get a job that doesn't require you to go to college. Like McDonald's or a gas station. This might not seem much but its a good start. then you're going to have to save up ,it helps if you have a buddy, to pay for a hotel. Then ya you go on from there on out you need to make you path to your future. If you're with someone in their home or something like it don't expect to sit there and be lazy. Get a job and work. doesn't matter what it is just get one to show that you're trying to get somewhere. The owner of the home will see that you're trying and most of them wont have the heart to kick you out. Now build up from there. Save up to go to college if you like or make a living with what you got. If you're parents kicked you out at 18 they don't care for you, you couldn't get into college, or didn't have the money for you. this wont be a great life but its a life and at least you can enjoy some of it.

Answer 2

The first port of call should be to contact your other relatives, Grandparents, Aunts etc. Chances are they cared for you a lot when you were small and still will. You should go to a near relative. This very bad of your parents. They have legal responsibility, because you are not 18 yet.

Answer 3

Go to the local equivaliant of the Departement of Social and Health Services, Child Protective Services, or school counselor and tell them your situation. If you have been kicked out at your age, you must be emancipated by your parent or guardian if they are renouncing responsibility for you.

Answer 4

Don't tell me about your religious beliefs - Just get to a church or other house of worship in the area and ask about help. Religious organizations almost always have contact points in your neighborhood or town/city, or telephone numbers, or friends, or other resources. They know the area and know what help is available. (I don't even know what country you are in!) A 15 year-old needs help... fast. I'm sorry for your troubles. Good luck!

You can go search for a job and covince your parents to come back to your house

Answer 5

all depending on the age of the teen if he/she is 16-17 then they are almost adults so aventualy you will have to learn responsibility..get yourself a job and cleaned up and you"ll go somewhere in life,..

Answer 6

Don't worry go one of your loved ones house or friends houses and stay there for a couple of days

Added: If you are a minor, you can also consult with the authorities. A parent has a duty to provide basic necessities for their minor children. If you are kicked out, your parents are depriving you of shelter. The state can step in and intervene on your behalf.

Answer 7

Seek the help of relatives and friends and assure them (if you can do it honestly) that the arrangement will be temporary. Couch hop if it is your only option (a night here, a night there...). If you have a job, look for an apartment, if you don't look for a job. Contact a local social services agency for any available help. Shelters are not the nicest places, but they may be better than fending for yourself out of doors.

Answer 8

Here's some background: I am a nineteen year old Community college student. I also work part-time. I think of myself as a being a normal nineteen year old; I want to experience and discover the world around me and go on some crazy adventures while make good memories with those closest to me. My mother is very controlling over me and always has the final say over any decision. I crave for a little bit of independence but I understand that its not my house, therefore I'm at the mercy of my controlling mother. I would just like to be able to make some small decisions concerning me on my own. Recently, I went to my first ever metal concert with one of my best friends who is visiting home from college. It was an hour drive away and started at 7 pm and the last band ended at a little after midnight. When I first brought up the idea of going to a show to my mother, weeks before the event, I made a good, logical argument supporting why I wanted to go as well as detailing a plan so that we would both be on the same page. As I thought, it was instantly shot down, I know there is no point in arguing with her because she doesn't listen to me. So I went to my father, who understands that I need to have some freedom and he said he was fine with me going and went to try to convince my mother to let me go. After multiple tries she still wouldn't budge and my father basically said he couldn't tell me I could go because that would cause my mom to get mad at him instead. I was stuck with a choice: To go to the show anyway, or to once again spend a Friday night at home doing nothing while my friends were out having fun without me. I chose the former. I bought my ticket and told my parents that I would be working and closing the Pizza joint I work at, which closes around the same time I would be back from the concert. I left my car at work and got picked up by my friend. We get to the show and we are having a blast, it was a great show. When I get back, I realize my car is at home in the driveway…. Turns out my mom actually went to my job to check if I was working, something she has never done before. I knew I was screwed. When I got in, she didn't say anything, nor did I. The next morning, she comes into my room turns on the lights, waking me up, and basically tells me I have 5 days to pack up my stuff and find somewhere else to stay and that she will no longer help pay for school next semester. She also took both my car keys and my house keys from me. I only have a part time job and I don't have any friends that live independently yet so I can't stay somewhere else. I wanted to finish school, get a full time job, a car, and THEN move out on my own. What do I do? I don't know how to survive out on my own yet and I am both genuinely scared and lost.

This sounds like a no win situation. Even if you smooth this over, the situation still exists, and she may decide to put you out the next time you don't see eye to eye.

To start out, you did lie to her. No matter what else happened, that is a basic piece of this story. With no intention of changing your mother's mind, apologize for that. Don't say "I'm sorry I lied, but you..." Just say you are sorry for lying. It's important. You are 19. You are an adult, even if you are not being treated like one. Apologizing for the lie is an adult thing to do. Bringing up anything she might have done takes away from the apology. It will help down the road when you guys try to fix your relationship. She is your mother for now on, so don't burn the bridge on the way out the door. If she doesn't reciprocate, that is on her for now. You did your part.

After that, it sounds like it really is in your best interest to go ahead and get things in order to move. Talk to a friend, relative, or someone you can trust. See about staying with them until you get things in order. You may need to pick up more hours, ride the city bus, and take less classes for a while. Your cravings for a little independence are important and should be explored, especially at 19. It sounds like you have been very sheltered. Just be careful not to go crazy with it. Your mom was a bit extreme, but there really are things in the world that you should not get mixed up in. It's pretty normal to be nervous. This is a big change, especially when you haven't planned for it.

If you are still talking to your dad, have him take you on a drive without your mom, and just ask his advice. Even when you are 19 and an adult, your dad can still give you some insight.

Even if you are nervous, don't make the mistake of hooking up with a guy just to find a place to live. That can lead to an entirely new set of problems.

Once you get settled somewhere, go talk to the school. If you are no longer living with your parents, you will qualify for different grants than you did before. They can help you out with getting things paid. When all is said and done, you may even do better in school after you are out of the stressful situation.
