Oh dear......I'm afraid it might too late for you. By the time I was 23 I already had 7 years invested in my career at Burger King. Now I'm 32 and they tell me they might promote me to assistant manager. I can't see how anyone can start a career at 23. Perhaps you can contact a social worker who can set you up in a group home. It's a shame your parents did such a lousy job with raising you. Best of luck to you.
Hope this helps.

You're 23? and you ran away from home at 23? Maybe you made a typo and you meant 13 because that's how immature your post sounds. Paying 25 bucks a week rent is reasonable and responsible. Getting a great job isn't guaranteed with a college education; look into a trade school. Look into scholarship programs or grants or suck it up move back home and grow up. At this point, I don't see why your parents should pay for anything; you left them in the dust. If you really are 23, then you need to grow up. If you're 13, you need to go to a shelter and get some help.

Well, you can try going back home and seeing if your parents will understand you. However, you need to make some important decisions of how you are going to act. Since you are living under your parents' roof, you need to follow most of their rules, however, you can still be your own person, just don't rebel all of the time. There are times when you need to relax and focus, and it sounds like this is the time for you. Tell your parents that you are willing to change and to accept their rules. Also, about paying rent, it's not a bad thing, it's only $25, and you can get a little part time job on the weekends. But, if you comply with their rules and don't always fight them, then they will see that you are changed and want to get your life on track. Once they see that, they will respect you more and want you to go to school. I know it's hard, but just try and see what happens. If not, then I suggest going to a relatives house, or possibly getting a small place of your own and looking for a full time job. Good luck.

Get a job and pay your own way, parents are only responsible until 18 for your support, do you think they owe you a living, what do you think life is a free ride, I have two of my older girls here and they are working and paying rent of 250 a month, grow up and get a job with insurance like jewel or osco or walmart, no excuses, move it! and pay your own schooling, I'm sure they gave you plenty of chances, I don't blame them if they ever talk to you until you straighten out your life.

A well existence, individually is a existence that's steady with an satisfactory steadiness of wellbeing, peace, tranquility and prosperity. Never to be disregarded are well peers and a robust, supportive loved ones. The upkeep of a well existence is not continuously as much as us as there are stipulations that undertaking the methods of a well existence. We lose family, often we get unwell, lose our jobs or have environmental occasions that damage our peace and quietness.

We attempt to hold our lives underneath manage and no longer grow to be reckless by way of turning over to liquor, medicines and malicious habits. Then we have got to simply glide.

Go back to hooking. You'll have plenty to pay your mom the rent, and bring the johns in and out of the basement. You can put in a closed circuit tv so your parents can watch from their own bedroom. Kill 2 birds with one stone.

Hilarious! Try to make it into a sitcom! Although they've done stuff like they before, maybe your take will be new and refreshing!
You can always sell plasma to pay the rent!
Good luck!

get over your child hood.. its time to move on,, everyday is a new day.. a new time to bring happy and new memories for the future.. if your parents gave you nothing but hardship.. for get about them let them take the first step in realizing the damage they done to you.. but you should send them a letter or something saying you are OK...

Put down the crack pipe. Very good. Now get your hooker boots and get back on your corner. Did I tell you it was break time? And where's my $50 from the trick?
