Somebody told my school counselor about my home life without my permission.

[french_fry_guy]

I looked it up and I could be emancipated at 16, but idk how I would get stable housing or hell even a job

[Yanderemenhera]

@french_fry_guy you're right. I mean, if it helps to think about you can take custody of your siblings when you're an adult. I guess until then find something to keep you going, like a goal to help motivate you to get outta bed every day and keep going

[Yanderemenhera]

@french_fry_guy I can dm you if you'd like, housing is tricky, so is a job but I do have some ideas and I can help explain the process of a GED so you can get a decent job if you choose to drop outta highschool, i dropped out of school for a GED btw

[french_fry_guy]

@Yanderemenhera I will, and I’m gonna find a job this summer because I turn 16 this summer. I really need to find excuses to leave (like my volunteer hours or a job). The worst part about emancipation is my parents would have to be ok with it, and they would FIGHT to keep me. I feel like it’s a power thing but maybe they genuinely think this is the best way to parent

[french_fry_guy]

@Yanderemenhera I don’t want to drop out though, I still want to go to school and live like a teenager— I just wouldn’t have to be around my family
(Thank you though)

[Yanderemenhera]

@french_fry_guy that does suck, but I mean, it might be worth talking to them about, if they hate you enough they might not care, but at the same time they might want you with them bc they like having someone to abuse or they "love" you and they think they are doing the best they can for you

[Yanderemenhera]

@french_fry_guy ok, i hope you are able to have a good teenage life, I really hope that things do get better. i'd recommend going to your town/city hall if you can bc you could find job applications there or things for volenter work like animal shelters if you don't have access to a phone to find a job online

[french_fry_guy]

@Yanderemenhera said in Somebody told my school counselor about my home life without my permission.:

I think this is the most accurate reason. They say they love me and I don’t think they hate me, but I also know that they know how they are isn’t ok (well, my mom at least)

they might want you with them bc they like having someone to abuse or they "love" you and they think they are doing the best they can for you

[french_fry_guy]

@Yanderemenhera I probably will do that, I can also look it up because I have my school device and I have a careers counselor at my school. Thank you for everything man, I really appreciate you

[Yanderemenhera]

@french_fry_guy aw, you're welcome^^^ i'm glad I could help at least a bit

[Yanderemenhera]

my DMs are always open if you need to vent or anything btw

[french_fry_guy]

@Yanderemenhera thank you man ^^
(You kinda remind me of a senior I talk too, she’s trying to help me get out and we talk with Zoom)

[Yanderemenhera]

@french_fry_guy oh, I mean i'm around the same age, i'm 17, I'll be 18 next year. i've never actually been to highschool though lol I was always "homeschooled"

[french_fry_guy]

@Yanderemenhera oh damn lol

[Yanderemenhera]

@french_fry_guy i'm unc ik but at least I have a bit of life experience

I hate the mental health "things" (don't know what to call it) It's actively against kids who have suffered, is suffering, or will suffer with HUGE mental issues in the future. Like arresting them for having violent thoughts about themselves or others, and sending them to a ward. It's disgusting, and will destroy the kids future. Adults need to realize things are SO different. With the surge of mental illnesses and mental disabilities, it would be vital for growth to actually let the kids feel safe talking about these things without the threat of abusive parents, unsupportive parents, or the police.

[Gumi]

I hope everything goes better for you.

@Gumi Your Right. Maybe with Our Newer Generation. With Gen Z And All. They wont be all Scummy

invasion of privacy or violation of privacy for one. for two, if ur parents seem scared of CPS, its likely that they are doing smth wrong. but i'm in no place to judge. now CPS can't take you and your sisters and separate you all, but they can separate you from ur folks. also im pretty sure a counselor would talk to you before acting on anything to avoid mistakes.

[Someone...]

@french_fry_guy don't worry too much about it. i've never been in that situation, but the problem will get worse if you're too anxious about it
