I want to move out because lately, I can't stand being at my house.
Question Posted Tuesday April 12 2011, 7:01 pm
I'm a sixteen-year-old female and I've been thinking about moving out of my house. I know you have to be like seventeen in the state of Michigan to move out of your home. When I asked around, someone mentioned something about court? Any tips on that would be appreciated!
The reason I want to move out is because lately, I can't stand being at my house. I'm normally a cheerful person, but I just can't stay happy at home. My sister seriously hates me, my dad and I have never gotten along, and recently, my mom has been telling me that apparently I can't make it in life and I will never go to college like she wants me too and I'd die an hour without someone to take care of me. None of that is true because I do take care of myself and I know I do. And she also mentioned that I'm like my father, which hurts me so much because I can't stand him. I just want to get out of this house. I'm getting a job sometime in May too and hopefully I can move into an apartment by August. Is this possible? What should I do?

My mom says alot of things i know she doesnt mean, and im sure your sister doesnt hate you. a day NEVER goes by that im not arguing with my twin sister, but if she left i wouldnt be able to handle it. i also dont get along with my 'father' either, so my advice is to get the whole family in one room and talk to them. or first start with your mom. tell her that she hurts you with the things that come out of her mouth. and promise her that you will change something about yourself if she does the same. also, if she says more hurtful things, i know she doesnt mean it because parents say things because they think its "tough love", so ignore the negative, and try to get a tougher skin, because if you cant handle being home, then the real world will be unbearable. talk to me anytime:) <3 [ BalletArtFreek766's advice column | Ask BalletArtFreek766 A Question ]

But, do you have an adult your close to? A grandma? Anyone thats an adult that you trust. I would talk to them. Maybe you can go there for a little while and if not then i do believe its possible to get a job and move out by August. Try and find a good job and pray about everything and I promise you God will help. And if nothing else, live at your house but go to a friends a lot and stay in your room whenever your home. Good luck! [ anonymous201411's advice column | Ask anonymous201411 A Question ]
