I am 17 years old and will be 18 in 5 months residing in maryland. I am doing well in school and found a job for myself. I had to stop working because I had posted a status on a social network saying that I couldn't wait oot get out of the house and my legal guardian got upset. My parents are currently overseas. The reason why I got so upset because my legal guardian is a control freak who has to have a decision in every aspect of my life. I am constantly being yelled at for trivial reasons. I do mess up every now and then, but I am human. I found the job myself, I take myself to and from work, but yet she refuses to let me be. I plan on attending college next year, and college applications cost money, along with me losing out on thousands of dollars during the that I am not working. I am at the point where I will start to do what I want, without being disrespectful or harming anyone. My question is, if I decide to leave, or she tells me to leave, will I or anyone who provides me shelter be in trouble? Even If I update my parents about my whereabouts and that I am ok?
