With a full-time job that pays better than minimum wage.I am asking how to go about supporting myself.
The VAST MAJORITY of teenagers? Don't. Because it's really difficult to tend to your schooling and your job, and do both well on 4 or 5 hours of sleep a night. Sometimes, if you're in a vocational program like my sons are, you can qualify for work-study that gives academic credit if you're working in your field of study, but even then you have to have superior grades in the actual classes you do attend and great time management abilities, or you'll get bounced right out.How do others support themselves when they're in school 5 days a week, 7 hours a day, and then work alongside that?
BINGO!unless they in fact are one of the Miley Cyrus types, or left inheritance.
You haven't been reading a thing we've been telling you. You've just been stomping your little foot and yelling "But I WAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!", and not grasping that emancipation is for teenagers who find themselves in EXTRAORDINARY circumstances.
Your circumstances? Are frightfully common. Nothing extraordinary at all. They suck, but you're not alone in dealing with the suck.
