I dont want to move
Im 16 going on 17 in less then a month. 7 years ago My mom pulled me away from my family to live out in another state for a guy she met. They have been divorced for two years now and I sort of built a new life here with friends a school and a boyfriend. I feel comfortable in my enviroment and safe. Now that shes lost her job and husband she feels like giving up here and now wants to drag me back to my home state for the easier way out. Im unfamiliar with my home state and feel like I don't fit in anymore. Im sick of being dragged around for her sake. She already wont let me apply for an art school I want to go to. I feel like I wont be able to do what I want in life. I dont have my permit or anything yet I'm sort of just stuck.

You should try to talk to your mom about this. The only other thing I know is, you can live on your own when you turn 17, but that is a hard choice.

Hello there beautiful. I have went through almost the same things you are going through. What I did was find someone to move in with. I chose my grandparents. People's situations are different though, so I don't really know if you have someone you can stay with, but your mom sounds like mine and my mother has all kinds of drinking problems and she's constantly with men and choosing her men over her kids!!! It made me so mad. Seeing as though you are only 16 turning 17 there aren't very many options!!! Look through all of your options and get back. Is there a place to stay that your mother would let you go? Is there anything? At all?

You have really only two choices.
Choose to accept what you have and deal with creating a new life, maybe more problems, and maybe being dragged around a little more. You never know
Or you can tell her you don't want to leave, that you might have more problems going back than staying there. That you don't want to leave your school, your friends, or your boyfriend. You don't want to have to start building another reputation after having to build it because she had to move to be with someone she left afterwards. Be assertive and if you have to raise your voice over hers, if she pulls the "I don't want to hear it" move, continue on.
Pick and choose, cause either way your going to have to deal with something somehow....
