Money help: Due to tension between me and the rest of my family, I need to move out before things get even worse. - Help.com

Are you sure you have to move out?

Can you work on a farm?

Or have a discussion with your family, and work some of the problems out?

I suggest you talk to your family about what is happening and try and find a way to resolve the problems. You need to make the most of the home that you have got.

If you don’t want to go into further education, talk to them about what you plan to do. You need to let them know that you have a “plan” and that you know what you are doing.

I think you should go ahead and get an education, it can’t hurt. You could be making good money and be independant if you finished school.

I understand what you are saying there and it can be a bit of a pain when people are telling you what to do. However, your parents are just trying to look out for you and help you get the most out of life.

I suggest you try and get a “plan” and start thinking of some ideas on what you want to do with your life. Try and let your parents understand what you are doing and that you are aiming to be successful.

You’re 16 and you’ve got your entire life ahead of you. I was strongly advise you go to college, because if you want to get a decent job, college is almost essential. Maybe have a lot at a prospectus and see what things interest you.

I had this exact same problem with my parents. They wanted to run my life for me and couldn’t see what was wrong with that, when they were just making everything really difficult. I opted for the unpopular option - I moved out. It only took them a couple of days to come round. Because I just stopped at a friends for a couple of nights I didn’t need any money to do it.
It’s not a great move to make. If your parents can’t see the error in their ways or be prepared to compromise and consider what you want too, then you might get stuck in a place that isn’t home but isn’t yours. And I have no idea if there’s even somewhere you can go or not.
Going to university isn’t essential no, and it’s no guarantee to anything, so even if don’t have a ‘plan’ there’s no need to make uni a fail-safe. I don’t think I’m going to uni and that doesn’t daunt me.
Definitely speak to your parents before you make any move though. Don’t just leave or they won’t udnerstand why you went and that won’t help anything. It’s a case of them considering what YOU want in YOUR life and being open to their advice because YOU want to be, or not tolerating their ‘dictatorship’. Hope this helps :)
