How hard is it to start a new life at the age of 18?
-
Hi there, I just turned 18 and have been going through some hard times. However, I do not want to explain them. I just want to know realistically what do I need to do if I wanted to run away from home and start a new life in a new city away from my home. I know that people say, "that's what college is for...", but that's not true in my case. My parents are going to make me stay at home and go to a college 10 minutes from my house to "save money". What all do I need to do if I wanted to get up the next morning and drive off to another city. I know I'll need money, food, etc... I just seriously need to start a new life away from home, I hate it here, I can't stand it, I NEED TO GET OUT!!! If anyone can help me that would be great. And please, I do not want any of the "Don't do it!!!" BS because I do not even know if I will. I just want to know realistically what are my chances.

Answer:
Your chances are slim dear but if you really want to get a new start you'll need to chance it anyway. Figure out where you're going and scrap together some money. Enough to keep a cheep hotel room through your first paycheck. "What first paycheck?" You ask? Well you need to set yourself up with a job to jump right into once you get out there. With your parents not looking over your shoulder, you'll be tempted to blow money, DO NOT DO IT. On your own, you need every cent you'll get your hands on. Apply for state aid, so many people hate it on principal but it's a good tool to help you get on your feet wherever you end up. Just make sure of what you want before you go, because after you're gone most parents won't just let you come back with open arms. Good luck though hun, whatever you decide to do. What you're planning is very much so not easy but it's possible.

I don't think it could be so bad you really want to move away... obviously you couldn't do it overnight.. you would need a job, and have arrangements for a place to live before you went... hopefully things get better for you, good luck
