21 and going to live on the streets.

amairela · May 30, 2009

So basically I got laid off my job, and have been applying for jobs non-stop. I just turned 21. I never got taught how to drive by my mom. Everytime I wanted to make plans with her she blows me off.

So we never used to fight.. but suddenly she's BEING evil. I am a good kid, I don't do drugs and I stay out of trouble. I packed half of my stuff already and she is going to drive me to a secluded area.

What should I do... I have chosen not to make any friends, and I ditched all my bad ones yearsssssss ago. I basically only have myself and my boyfriend. My boyfriend is not an option because his Dad is helping him out and my boyfriend just got laid off his job and has unemployment.

I also plan on not telling my boyfriend where I am getting dropped off.. So that's basically another story.. I would be breaking off almost 3 years.

I know no one probably knows how to give advice on my situation.. but basically I see my near future as getting raped.

first off i have to say you have to be putting god first in your life, you have to live in the word. beyond that we cant control anything. but god always does find a way to give us just what we need, we just have to be aware of how he is working in our lives.

i honestly think you should look into joining the military.

actually, I want to be a graphic designer.. but I don't see that happening anymore..

I just don't get what happened to her.. It's like something possessed her. My brother has done drugs, stole metal parts, and so many things and he is 28.. And she is basically helping someone who she has helped many times but failed.. Yet she has never done a thing for me but supply food.

So yes My brother has been staying her, but she's kicking out an innocent. Why? I have no clue. You are probably thinking it has to be something. ...Nope.. I can't believe what has been happening to me this week. I haven't had any sleep yet and it's almost 10am. Just been packing.

do you feel like your suffering?

Do you wonder if God cares about you?

Do you even consider God working in your life?

Hi there! I am so sad that you are facing being homeless. I have been homeless and is not good. Many today are and it's so very sad.

I can't think of any advice but to search as much as possible while have access to a telephone and net to find a shelter.

God, please watch over this precious child and help her and I pray favor for her for a safe place and good place to stay. I pray for loving people in her life. Bless her and put angels all around her. Thank you Lord.

Blessings Amairela.

Go to the nearest college where they have a dorm, enroll in some classes, get a student loan, and from there you can find a part-time job, get yourself on your feet and get an education and a new better life.

Contact the Peace Corps. and see if you can't get in there. Go to the Dept. of Human Services and tell them what is happening. They may not be able to give you aid in the form of money but they do know of programs where you might find aid. The Salvation Army will also do what they can in the form of temporary place to stay, food, and maybe even a job.

What type of work were you doing that you got laid off from? What State are you in? What is your schooling? If I know more about you then I might have more ideas.

Seek GOD in prayer and read HIS WORD.

AND HAVE FAITH.

LOVE

Always wanted to go to college, but I have been all self taught on my work. Made some monies here and there doing it.. but it wasn't enough so I got a job and got laid off with a temp agency. Temp agencies are all burnt out right now.

I don't really want to say I am above anyone.. because I am defiantly not.. but I defiantly have the looks creepy people are after.

why don't you move back in with your mom till you can get yourself on your feet again? She ought to understand that.

It is because it is her mom who is kicking her out, no job not supporting the house hold costs, out you go.

I will surely pray for you :crosseo:

Salvation Army will let you stay there for a certain amount of time (a couple weeks?), and people there can help you find the next spot to stay. There are also missions of different denominations in cities -- look in the blue pages of the phone book, or ask around.

If you're really stuck, knock on the door of a church and ask the pastor if they can refer you somewhere -- pastors are (ideally) trained to know these local resources.

There ARE places. Homelessness is a common dilemma, and many people donate money, clothes, and food to help people in transition. Don't give up.... just keep asking around.

go to a homeless shelter....tell ur bf and people where you are going..in case you do come up missing or dead...they know where to look for your body...sounds rude..but thats the truth about living on the street..many people end up dead

Is that your only option? I can see that life has been hard, and you have really struggled against being confined by your background. Don't throw that away now.

Graphic art won't be great career opportunity right now. Recession usually hits that area of employment pretty hard.

Do you have a church family? Someone who will take you in for a while?

I don't know why it is but we have seen many examples where the reliable person gets criticised while the ratbag receives all the attention and support. That's hard to take.
