• Answer:

  To give you my advise you are probably better off staying where you are although i do not know the whole situation and you are probably not looking for my opinion. So here is your options: Please take note you do not HAVE to live anywhere you do not wish to live for any reason! 1) you can go to live with your Dad or another family members if they are willing for that and it poses no risk on you. 2) you can go into care (social services) if you understand what i am talking about? and you will be most likely put into a new home sharing with around 5/6 other children and being taken care of by a team of staff 24hrs a day. 3) yes you can move into a hostel if you can afford to pay the fee's the hostel charges and you can find a hostel to live in. * If you do move into a hostel from then on the social services do not have a responsibility to supply you with a place to stay * If you do wish to go into care you cannot choose where you would preferably like to stay or refuse where you have been placed without good reason e.g you dislike the area or you do not like sharing with other minors Hope this helps and good luck!
