live help: Seeking Advice - Help.com

Do not do it.Moving out at a young age will jeopardize your future. He may be your friend, but you need to think about yourself. Do you want to start paying all of your own bills while still in highschool? He needs to work out the problems he is having with his parents and it would be best if you advised him to do so. If you are still living contently with your parents, then why move out? It is best for you to stay with your parents but continue to be there for your friend. He is going through some hard times and he needs a friend that will help him through it. You don’t need to leave your parents’ house and move in together in order to help him. Just be there for him to talk to, and he will appreciate it.

Would your parents be okay with him living at your place? What do they think? Living with a friend can usually cause more conflict. What if you change your mind half way through? What if it isnt how you thought it would be? By the way, a good friend wouldnt put that much pressure on you.

That has to be really hard for him. Once he gets through all this he’ll really appreciate that you’ve been there for him. That’s smart of you to ask for more info from him about what’s going on. He’ll open up if you just give him more time. You’re a good friend for caring about him so much.

From what i read, Edward is upset that he has to be uprooted from the environment he is accustomed to and forced to thrive in a place that is unfamiliar to him. This has happened to me when I was 15, but it sounds like the situation is just the opposite. My parents took me from a city and moved me to a quiet town where I felt very closed in and alone. I thought It is too quiet here, I don’t like the people, and I want to get out!

Who our families get to be when we get to this world, we don’t get to choose. If our family moves and we are still young, we usually don’t have a say in the matter. But that is th story of any life- it’s sometimes crazy, sometimes surprising you don’t always know what happens!

To your friend:
I say, don’t even worry about where you are or that you feel you have been robbed of everything you hold dear. It’s all about how you look at your situation. Think of yourself as an adaptive, and capable person. You can still be happy, you can find your niche, and whatever life throws at you, you gotta believe you can take it and excel despite of all the hardship. Don’t cave- you must prove to yourself that you are capable. If you keep running away from your problems, you will never gain a strong character- be a person who is brave enough to conquer the giant and you will develop as a survivor, someone to be proud of.

To you:
I agree with gadz. His life is his journey and you as a friend, should be there for him for moral support. Friends should be there to share experiences/wisdom/ to relate. Be there for him, and let him know that he has a friend in you, but he has to face the situation he is in. Either move back with his own mom, or stay with his dad. Moving is a very good bet for throwing his life to the wind. If he is two years from graduating, much better to just finish up. Tell him to finish school first because if he wants to be independent he has to be smart about it. At least be independent with a good life- education can give that. Who wants to be an independent bum working hard to the bone? Think about it! A year flies. At least be productive, invest in yourself and build yourself up while it’s passing. Right?

talk to your parents about it maybe they have some good advice

I feel for you-it’s very hard to turn down a friend but if you don’t know all his facts then you very well might have to!!! just make sure that if he does move in you give yourself some space from him. its always great to have a pal come stay with you but after the novelty wears off there could be some resentment between the two of you—-believe me i know i have had several friends come to stay with me and my parents-most of the time we ended up not being friends when they decided to move on. if you really know this friend and are prepared to act more like a brother in the long run then i say help him out!! remember you could be in a situation some day when you need help from a friend and they say what goes around comes around!!!
