I am a high school drop out.
And i am being held back by ****** jobs and high rent. What i want to do is move back in with my parents so i wouldnt have to pay rent and go back to school. But my father passed away and my mom lives in a one bedroom apartment with her new husband. I want to get my diploma and go to a trade school and get a good paying job. But i need a place to stay so i can work and go to school without paying rent. I can ask my grand parents if i can stay with them but i havent seen them in over a year and im not sure about that. Or mabey go on welfare and stay in a hotel untill i get my education and a good paying job. It is a very big problem. Any suggestions or any information about public assistince or anything at all will be a big help. thank you

Where were you?
You can also watch events on Help.com as they happen
my parents were going through a divorce and i had to move out of my house into a one bedroom apartment with my mom
Why couldn’t you stay in school through all of this?
i didnt want to , i just stopped going
You should first try and obtain a GED (if you’re from the States) or a diploma. Whichever fits you better.
Once you’ve gotten this you can apply for grants scholarships and even student loans to help with school.
As for now, have you talked to your mom about maybe staying with her for a little while…?
i am going to call her in about an hour to talk to her about all of this
well.. call her dude.. no mother.. to whichever religion she belongs. cannot see her son unhappy.. n sad .. n depressed. talk to her.. n if for sum unavoidable reasons she can’t help try ur grands… they will help you.. n u wud b a support to them…..n they will luv u.. don worry.. it wud all b fine…… jus hav the courage to say things……
Hon I am much older than you Have 3 kids 32, 29 & 26. Oldest and yougest dropped out. They went got their GED right away on their own. 1 was senior other junior. Talk 2 your mom. Parents aor most parents are more than willing to help their kids if they’re trying to help theirself. Do you have aunts uncles family talk be open and honest. If you just want to quit school caz JUST DON’T WANT TO GO does show much effort. I dropped out too. Family is always your 1st answer to a hard question. Good Luck Call your mom.

I quoted you because what you just said is irristable to parents and grandparents. I know because I am both. Go to your parents, grandparents, and any other person who has supported you, ever. Present the words you have given to us. If you were one of my children, grandchildren, or any other family member, I would help you myself.
By the way, even if your grandparents are not in a position to help you, you might want to get close with them again. I miss the grandchildren who live far away. I think of them often and wish that they would call me once in awhile. The love I feel for them is the same as it was when they were children, but I can no longer travel to see them the way I used to. A call to ask me about what I have been doing would start a great conversation. I am quite a talker. Maybe they are afraid that I would keep them on the phone too long. lol Call anyway!
It’s nice to see that my tax dollars will be going to you and your mom to pay for the food that your worthless ***** are eating.
thanks for the help anderso , your information saved my life , i hope you will help other people on this web site as much as you helped me , i cant thank you enough
an honost thanks to everyone else , i am going to my grandparents house next week to talk to them about my problem and i think they might help me , and in return i can help them becuase they are in there upper 80’s , and i will be able to do all there chors for them like help with the food shopping and cut the grass and whatever else , so we will be helping each other and i think they will be open to the idea , so i ask everyone to just say a prayer for me and wish me luck , and i will come back to this post and let you all know how i made out
if i were you.If you really want to get a diploma, study hard, dont waste every second try to do some of assignment of your classmate… and study how to write a term paper especially thesis… You Know what, Im still studying but in my hard work i pay all my bills because i really study hard in spite of the hindrances that comes in my life and Put God especially in your life… Hope this advice will help you.
