HELP! I Need Some Where To Go

Hey guys,

I've recently turned 16 and my mum has wanted me out for years now, on the day of my birthday she threw me out but due to legality reasons she was forced to take me back however was told she could get rid of me at the end of the month.... I don't have much of a life here in Scotland anyway no friends and my girl left me about 3 months ago so i excepted my fate and planned to live with my friend in the Netherlands... Just when things looked like they were going to work out i found out my mother had taken £2000 out of my account leaving me with nothing....

I have 7 days left until i have to leave and i need somewhere to go... my life is awful here and I've been searching desperately for a hippy commune like the type you here about in the 70s i just want to live free and be happy for once... some one please help me!!!

 

have mom arrested for theft and live at her place till she gets bail...if you were here in canada i could help you but not over there....doesnt the government give you some money?

 

When she took the money the account was in her name me being a minor and all i only found out yesterday... the government would give me money but this would require me to have and address.... i just don't have the strength to do this alone anymore....

 

Make some calls:

Churches are sympathetic (at least where I live).

I know it says 17 years old. Maybe you could lie about your age.

I got it from this page that has lots of other links for help: http://www.breathingspacescotland.co.uk/bspace/179.51.77.html

 

sorry to hear that this is happening


we can try to help you.

things may be tough for a while, but if you think things through, everything can work out well

firstly, do you have any other relatives that might be able to help you? grandparent, aunt/uncle that you trust?

you're not a runaway, but runaway hotlines might be able to put you in touch with social services that can help you.

I may be able to research something for you

please hand in there and keep talking to us

 

I think it's for 17 and under, so no lying is needed


you beat me to posting btw :sunny:

 

There is a system i can go threw that will give me places to stay this i know..... but it this place these people..... i cant handle it here..... i have no one..... i dont just want to live here.... i want to be alive.... every second i spend here i just want to end it all

 

www.suicideforums.com might be able to help,

also www.befrienders.org

can you explain more?

so there is the problem of shelter, but even more it's the feeling that you have no one with you

 

I live in a place where there is no one like me.... i know to many people in my city and have had to many relationships go wrong.... im isolated and on my own.... the only person i ad in my life was my girlfriend and that was enough for me..... but she left me about 3 months ago and now i have nothing.... i haven't spoken to and one in real life (apart from my mum) for a month now.... and the only friend i have lives in the Netherlands..... yknow im a strong person and ive been on my own for along time now and it hasnt really bothered me but all of a sudden it has exploded inside me and i really dont know where to go or what to do

 

i'm sorry that you've been so alone. things can probably get a lot better if you are able to connect with someone

if you contact the hotlines, they should be able to set you up with both shelter and some counseling.

maybe if you had a family councilor talk to you and your mom, you might be able to continue to stay with her

no other relatives though?

 

I had a social worker this only made things worse. My grandparents wont let me stay with them. and ive been threw so many systems in my life medical and physiological crap for years..... i cant cope with another one

 

what about the social worker made things worse?

counselors can be helpful sometimes, but it is often necessary to sort through the ones that are useless or counterproductive

you might be able to find a counselor who is actually good for you

 

I doubt this very much. I've been to so many doctors and so many counselors in the past they do nothing for you. social work lies... all the time. They go behide your back and do nothing to help.

 

staying with your friend in the netherlands might be good, but you would need a plan for getting back if things didn't work out

there might also be an issue with getting a passport at your age

www.suicideforums.com might be a good place for you to check out. there'll probably be a lot of people there that have some experiences similar to yours

 

Try a post in the UK section here http://www.hipforums.com/newforums/forumdisplay.php?f=74

Also the thread Happy Hippie House Party because there are lots of people from the UK in that thread who have been very helpful when others were in situations needing help. If you want, I can go over to that thread and tell them to expect you. http://www.hipforums.com/newforums/showthread.php?t=451537&page=792

 

I want to leave and go so bad it is my only hope.... however having only 165 pounds and having to wait 6 weeks makes it almost impossible to get a passport.... ill check out those other threads thanks

 

You're welcome. I'm glad to offer some suggestions. :daisy:

 

Hey livefree how are you doing now buddy? Hope you're ok!
