I'm soon to be 18 years old, and I can not live in my home anymore. My relationship with my parents has become emotionally and physically abusive, and I'm not comfortable here anymore. I would like to move to a new town that's close to family, but into an apartment by myself. The town that I'm planning on moving to averages apartment rents at about $450 a month. I get an $850 Social Security check each month, and I make at least $400 from my job. I'll still be attending high school, but I will only have to go in the morning as I will be able to leave for work in the afternoon. I know it's going to be tough and a struggle, I just want advice from someone who has gone through something similar and who can give me a realistic answer to whether or not I can make it on my own, regardless of the hardships, I'm a very driven and motivated person who refuses to drop out of school. I'm determined to work as hard as I need to survive and graduate. Someone help please.
