They couldn't possibly be just trying to prove a point, could they?  His parents are the ones responsible for bringing him into the world, so how can they justify making him responsible for preparing him to be self-sufficient?  There is no way they can collect on that bill; parents are legally responsible for their children's welfare until the age of 18.  They can legally kick him out of their house now that he's 18.  If I was your friend, I would move out as soon as possible, and try to make his parents understand their responsibilities.

your friend can look into legal aid. Or call a lawyer and ask if they know any lawyers that can help.

Oh Kirk - you need to get out of there as soon as you can.  You deserve better.  There is help and support out there. No one has the right to treat you like that.  Are there any agencies you could contact ? And please contact your mom or another close relative or someone you feel you can trust.  I guess you much feel totally alone and scared and adults have not exactly been a source of trust for you.  Believe me you need to get out.  I wish I could help  I truly do.  I am in Scotland.  I am not surprised that you feel so bad about your life.  IT IS NOT your fault please believe that.  Contact someone and get yourself to safety.

Have her talk to someone at her school (teacher, counselor, etc.) -- they have to take action if she reports abuse. Separately, she can call child protective services or, for an emergency situation, the police.

If she's under 18 you can get a court order for her because she is in possesion of drugs. Or for any other offense that I'm sure she's committed. Even if she's over 18, the court can order her to rehab or she can go to jail. I will tell you though, if she won't get help from you, she won't accept help from anyone else either.

WHY can't you ditch her? She's having adolescent tantrums and needs to grow up. Help her by teaching her that her mood swings are NOT acceptable - teach her this by leaving her on her own... Some people need to be treated pretty unsympathetically if they are to learn anything!

The landlord may want her out, but their ability to get her out depends on a lot of things, like her lease and the law in her area.\n\nIf her lease isn't up, they probably can't evict her until it is up ... but her state may allow people who are chronically late to be evicted, but it involves certain notices and is only for being late in the future and does not apply to past late payments. \n\nThe fact that she has a good excuse for being late really doesn't matter.  Her problems are not her landlords problems.  The fact that she was a good tenant before this (and presumably still will be) should have counted for something with her landlord, but as far as legally ... a landlord is under no obligation to wait for their money.\n\nIn any case, they can't just order her out.  They have to go through the courts to evict her, and frankly it doesn't sound like they currently have any cause for eviction.  \n\nIf your friend is a month to month tenant and there aren't any laws preventing the termination of a month to month tenant except for cause (such as non-payment of rent), the landlord may be able to terminate her tenancy and take her to court as a holdover tenant if she doesn't leave.  Some places have these laws, others don't.  You really need to find out what the law is in your area.

Well done, I know how hard that was to do, because I've been there in my youth! \n\nNow wait her out and stay as calm as before, continue to be your usual self. \n\nIf you're lucky, this could be a life learning experience for her. If it isn't, don't beat yourself up over her problems, they're her's, not yours. \n\nWhenever others need to control our lives, criticise everything about us, it's usually because they are frightened, or troubled in their own life, or frightened of being left behind. \n\nShe needs you in her life, every bit as much as you need her, she just needs to accept that you are an adult, and learn to treat you with respect. \n\nYou've shaken her, now wait her out. \n\nYou've proven your maturity in the way you handled this situation, it's down to her to follow suit.

Take her to a homeless shelter and show her where she'll end up.\nMy 19 year old daughter did the same thing at 16 and I dropped her off at the shelter and left her there. She graduated top of her class and is going to UCLA.

i don't know how old you two girls are but if you think she is being abused she needs help and may be to scared to get it. if you are still in school tell your guidance councler about. they can get it check into by the right people.

They can't file eviciton on you because you're not on the lease and they need to find a reason to evict your friend that moved out. They could file eviction on her for breach of contract since she's not staying there anymore. It all depends on how anal the landlord wants to be.

Since she is saying you can't go out, I'm assuming you still live with her. I'd say what you need to do is move out. Two kids, a FT job and school is a pretty big amount of responsibility, yes, but if you're relying on her heavily as unpaid daycare and free rent, she will be able to continue to lord it over you and with a certain amount of justification.\n\nYou're sorta in a position where you've gotta pick your battles. You can attempt to sit down with her and have a mature conversation about how far you've come and what your future plans are, and that you do have a lot of responsibility, and you need time out with your friends to wind down now and then. I personally would either skip the tattoo for now - make it something that will be a 21st birthday present to yourself.\n\non the other hand, if i'm right that she is providing room, meals, and/or daycare to you free, you really AREN'T being a full-fledged adult. My advice to you is to move out and BE a grown up for real. I can tell you from personal experience that ANYONE can figure out a way to make this happen. find low-income housing, check in with WIC for help on some expenses, get the kids' dad to provide some support, etc. there are tons of resources out there if you look. To be a real adult you MAY have to go on welfare for a while, you may have to live in a much different type of situation than you are used to, but you'll be truly independent and self-sufficient. plus if you are no longer a dependent on your mother, she can't claim you on her taxes, which means you'll be totally seperate from you and you can start applying for need-based financial aid for school.\n\nNow, all this said, maybe you already are living on your own, she isn't babysitting or doing other stuff for you free, and she's just all up in your business. if that is the case, i'd just lay it on the line in no uncertain terms. i did that with my mother and we didn't talk for several months. she was furious that i would stand up to her. but i was totally on my own - she had no reason to rule my life. eventually she realized this and we're great now. and in your case, she'd probably come around sooner cause she'd miss the grandkids too. anyhow.\n\neither way, good luck. parents can be more exhausting than kids sometimes...

***you have to sign for her**** but she can move out when she is 17 if she wants as long  she lives with a adult and going to school there is nothing you can do about that\n\n(in texas anyway)

A minor over the age of 16 may petition the court to become emancipated.  This allows her to be independent.  The link below explains and offers more information and links to forms.  Otherwise, she is stuck there until 18.

That is such a painful experience she is undergoing right now ...I believe for you to be able to help her to get through with this is to be with her most of the time if not always in order for her to feel the caring of another human being which she needs badly as of the moment. She needs you to there when she would like somebody to talk to. With regards to the legals matters the police and the authorities will do their best to solve this problem. All you gotta do just remember is to stay as her bestfriend all this time. hope this helps yah.

just be supportive. Give her a hug and tell her you will be there for her.  If she is over 18, you should strongly suggest she get help, and tell her you will be there for her every step of the way. If she is under 18, you should do the same, but if she refuses, you should tell an adult. She needs help you cannot give her. All you can give her is support and friendship.
