Okay, I'm 17 years old. I won't be 18 for another 11 months. I love my mother dearly, and my step dad. But I've got to get out of here. I'm home-schooled, but my mother isn't teaching me. I have a learning disability. I learn differently. I've got to take my 11th grade test soon, and my mom isn't teaching me the work. I can't get a job, because I live too far away from any place. I have no ride to get a job, and I can't walk. Because the closest place for me to work, is a 30 minute drive. And I can't walk that far. I -do- have a place I can go to live, and it's right across from a high-school. There are plenty of places I can get a job. Now my mom would never allow me to get emancipated, if she had anything to do with it. My sister and her husband just got a divorce, so she's staying with us for awhile, with her baby. Everyone in my family is freaking out about it, and I can't get away from anything. I know getting emancipated is a big step, but I know I would do well. When I get enough money, I have two friends who I'm getting an Apartment with.
I don't want to hurt my mom, but I'm going insane here.
Now, I'm not sure if this is of much relation, but also.
My mother lets me go to my friend's house for a weekend, because they live an hour away from me. That's good. And sometimes she lets me stay for the week. That's also good, but when I come home, I'm basically grounded for about 3 to 4 weeks from seeing my friends, because she says I was just in town.
Can anyone help me? :( :confused:
Thank you.
