My friend (19) was kicked out of his house and has nowhere t
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

hm..i almost got kicked outta my house too and i had friends(close to family)that wanted to take me in, and i also have biological parents..but i never met them.the last thing i'd want to do is move in with parents i never met or have only known for 2 weeks.living with friends is a no-no.he's 19..he should get a job and find his OWN place ,while still getting to know his biological mother..before he moves in with her and gets himself into something else.so, he could stay in NY and get his own place with the help of his friends to get a job&money.for now a shelter is a good idea for him.hope i helped!

I think it will be good for him to get with his mother. Especially if he hasn't seen her in a while. I know it may be hard for you to let him go but you can keep in touch. If things don't work out there he can always return. While he has friends NY now, he may not have them long if he uses them for a place to stay etc. over the long haul. So let him go to Texas. Get his life on track and then he can come back when he does.

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.

well hes 19 and doesnt have a job? maybe that would be a sart then he could get his own apartment. maybe him moving to texas wouldnt be such a bad idea. he would atleast have a roof over his head. maybe you could talk to ur parents about letting him stay with you or somthing. and who knows maybe him and his dad will make up and he could move back in with his dad. or if he desdes to go to texas maybe he will like it down there if not he could always move back.
hope i could help

If he has any money, suggest maybe a hotel for now, till he decides he wants to move to Texas. Maybe his mother can send some sort of fast money and pay for the hotel stay? Like credit card type pay, till he wants to go to Texas. Maybe help him find a low rent apartment? Try going to a homeless shelter or a church and ask them if they have any suggestions of where he should go. Hope I helped
