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

Why couldn’t you stay in school through all of this?

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…?

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!
