She would of shown me the door. So I guess she might be. Are there places I can go to till i finish school or I just need a job and my own place

when you become an adult you are expected to take on the responsibilities of adulthood. That means you work to pay your bills and provide housing for yourself.

as the 1 Corinthians 13:11 of the Bible says:

When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways.

depending on others to support you is a childish thing.

I got no problem doing that. It's just that ima start my last year of high school. With no home

She might not know the law ..let's NOT educate her.

If you are homeless ..and that a pretty broad topic...you have a lot of options as to where to finish HS...but where to rest your body is a tough call and a bit up to your digging into local resources.
I am a big fan of completing school...and college if possible ....and odds are a HS graduate with decent grades and zero financial resources is way at top of aid list under prevailing formulas.

local to me there is sort of a 1/2 way home for children who have aged out of foster care (18) but are still transitioning thru HS etc ...your school guidance staff or pastor may know about local resources. Schools want to keep thier graduation statistics high..so they may have incentive to help you dig a bit.

Everyone who replied was a huge help. Thank you guys

Since you are still a student and you anticipate becoming homeless at some point before you graduate, start looking through this information and check out the links on the right of the page.

Find out who your school's homeless student liason is and make yourself known to them. (link is second down top right)

I understand and you have my sympathy but you would not be the first person in your situation. Some succeed, some fail. Best of luck and maybe, just maybe, since you are about to be an adult, you will realize that sometimes you have to swallow your pride and conform to the demands of those that have the power to alter your life such as your grandmother does.

Thanks

I'm going to add to what jk said, and suggest that in addition to reading up on the links I posted, think about what you can do to smooth things out with Grandma.

I'd get a job asap and offer her some rent/food money, and save the rest. Do chores around the house without being asked. Try not to react negatively and get drawn into arguments, even if you think you're right. It's her house.

Also, when school is back in session, speak to a trusted teacher or counselor who might know of additional resources for you.

Yeah I've started job hunting the other day. Thanks for the good advise. I appriciate it

Chances are you don't make it easy on her and she is frustrated. She didn't plan on still having children at this point in her life, or for the recent years. She could have allowed you & your sister to be seperated and bounced from Foster home to Foster home instead of taking you both in.

Did your parents lose custody or have their parental rights terminated ?
