This may sound wierd but im friends with this guy i met maybe 3 weeks ago at a teen dance club im 17 hes 19, i bearly know him and i dont know what makes me feel so much like i need to help him but its killing me that i cant come up with my own solution.
This kid was recently kicked out of his house where he lived with his father and step mother, and that may possibly be a good thing. his father was abusive and it wasnt a good living situation. the last few days hes either been sleeping in his car or finding people to stay with. What hes planning on doing in 11 days is moving back to texas (from new york) and back in with his biological mother who hasnt seen him in forever and who hes only been talking to for 2 weeks. All his friends and his life is here though and hes not even sure if texas is going to work out for him.
i was wondering if anyone has any suggestions of things he can do. chances he has of staying here. He did graduate highschool etc and is really a nice guy though obviously he has his issues. This is a last resort for me. idk if theres people i can talk to or what i just need someones advice on this
thanks
Hey! I think u did the right thing-Your wantin't to help him. For starters, askin' your dad to let him move in will be out of the question. He should definietly let authorities now that he has an abusive father. Especially if he has younger siblings. Then he should go any shelter ... a youth one for now, get a job. And if he still wants to move to texas, He definitely needs enough money for the trip. So pressure him to look for a job. Mind you, there's only little you can do for him If he refuses. I doubt he'll refuse bc he needs a roof over his head asap.

thanks for the advice....im not exactly asking my mom to let him move in, just stay with us for a little while so he isnt sleeping in his car. i mean its still freezing at night. as for letting the authorities know, the biggest problem is his father IS a police officer so its hard ya know? I am trying to push him to get a job but its hard when hes staying somewhere different every night.
