What should I do , I got kicked out !?

A couple nights ago I got caught doing somethin I wasnt supposed to , whatever . So my mom told me to pack my s* and get out . Im only 15 gonna be 16 in january and just got a job , no car or anything . Im livin with a friend but my mom is getting me emancipated , how long does it take and doesnt that mean I have my own rights to do as I like and my mom no longer has control of me ? Please help !

Answer #1

Ok, it’s illegal for her to ‘kick you out’. You’re a minor and you’re under her care. She can’t apply for your emancipation, only you can (or your guardian ad litum)- what she CAN do is place you up for adoption or surrender you up to the courts.

So I’d guess she’s either bluffing or she’s genuinely trying to go about surrendering your care to the courts. If the second case is true, then I’m very sorry you were born to such an unfit and callous mother. You’re a child- children screw up. It doesn’t excuse what you did, but she’s also wrong for doing this to you.

If you genuinely do not wish to be under her control anymore, go down to the court house and begin the process of emancipation. It’s a long one- can take many months, unless a judge feels your case needs to be expedited- and can be expensive. As a child, I believe you are entitled to free representation through the courts, somebody at the court house will be able to point you in the right direction.

I agree with amo_sc
But that’s sad to hear my dear! Same thing happened to me when I was 14. All I got to say is your parents are idiots as well are mine. Good luck to you!!! I know you’ll do good on your own, some of us are just forced to grow up faster than others. And remember!! What doesn’t kill you.. only makes you stronger :) Stick in there.

Answer #3

it not illegal if she sends her to a group home. she did not say she get abused. In fact she said “I did something” I think you should apologize.

Answer #4

She cant trow you out she can get in a lot of trouble for that because you are a minor I would talk to a school cauncelor or something so your mom can see the mistake that she has made.

Answer #5

And what-ever you did, don’t repeat.

Incidentally, if it was a drug offense, you Mom could have been in fear of losing her house. And thus the extreme response - not that that excuses her.

Answer #6

But… if you go to court, you will ahve to tell them what you did, which might make them side with your mother… tricky one… your mother has her reasons but she should never ever give up on you, everyone can change :)

Answer #7

I would make the best of it…keep living with your friend for as long as you can…save up some money and whatever you do try not to lose your job. Without $$ you’re screwed. Maybe she is just messing with you and won’t kick you out. That’s a young age to be out on your own and I dont see how any parent could do that. Good luck.

Answer #8

I say go back to your house, get on your knees and apologize to your mother. Tell her that you’ve learned your lesson and you’ll never do it again. I think all she wants is for your to learn it the hard way. She’s still your mother and you’re her child. She’s only doing this to teach you a lesson, so you’d know how hard it is to be on your own at this age and you need your mother. Please I say go back to her, apologize and things should be back to normal in no time. Best of luck to you.

Answer #9

Well your only 15 and the legal age is 16 when you become a person renting your room so untill your 16 the cannot ask your to leave

well thats the law in the UK

Answer #10

Well from a quick read on wikipedia, yes once you are emancipated your parents have no legal control over you, but are also no longer responsible for any of your actions, you are.

Answer #11

oh my god your mom is so mean :( no matter what u’ve done she should’ve punished you or disciplined you in any way she wants but by throwing you out she’s doing a bad job as a parent now she can not control what you do and worse yet she cant supervize :S am sorry for that..I guess try sayin sorry and begging for her to let you back in or maybe see if some relatives might help shelter u best of luck what did you do anyway to deserve that?
