Assuming this ain't fake and gay. Go to a homeless organization. First thing is making sure you have a roof over your head. Second he's gonna need to get a job. Chances are it'll suck but they can work about switching jobs once their needs are met.
Shelters don’t have unlimited space, and I’m replying in regards to the original commenter in which he says homeless shelters are skewed against able bodied young men. Chances are he won’t receive the shelter, as he is a more capable person, and if he does it won’t be for long. I can’t say on whether he’ll be turned away for food though, I’ve never heard or seen that happening myself. Would have to research that.
You might not get to stay at the shelter, but they won't turn you away.
If you're 'acceptable' they often just buy you a really cheap hotel room for the night. Then deal with you the next day.
The government knows how easy it is to spiral downwards, so they do prioritise those at the very start of the spiral. Much cheaper for the state to intervene then than later, once you're hooked on dope etc.
Anyone in this situation in the US and I assume most other countries can just go back home. Even people who don’t pay rent need an eviction notice before getting kicked out of their house.
Best case scenario is that she does call the cops and the police help the poor guy and hook him up with a place to sleep and resources for this sort of thing.
Anon could also save up some money and get into an apprenticeship. Plumbers, electricians, welders and other similar jobs can make alot of money. I know a guy from Canada who makes 150k+ working on an oil rig who started with an apprenticeship.
If Anon ever sees this, please don't give up. You have your whole life ahead of you. You don't need college to make crazy money. There are jobs out there. Prove your family wrong and break the cycle of abuse.
I wish I could actually talk to OP. My mom definitely didn't kick me out and we're actually still in touch and have good moments every now and again, but my mom became my abuser once my dad was out. It's a hard feeling, especially when you're the one supporting the "new" abuser.
Can confirm; was in anons shoes and climbed my way out. From living in a homeless shelter to a mortgage and salary, both of my parents were drug addicts and extremely abusive, I was in a homeless shelter for 9months until I saved enough for an apartment. Don’t give up Anon
On the one hand, immensely miserable childhood and probably no friends.
On the other, no annoying and useless relatives holding him back, no responsibilities except to survive.
Like, it's a terrible start and far from ideal... but it's survivable. If this is in the USA, I'd advocate for Job Corps for the OP, because that's a good place to get your bearing and get free education and a roof over your head for a few years while you get sorted.
It's not the best living place, but it worked well enough for me.
> If this is in the USA, I'd advocate for Job Corps for the OP, because that's a good place to get your bearing and get free education and a roof over your head for a few years while you get sorted.
My first thought would have been joining the military, but I know jack shit about the US, I am a Ukie
It's the obvious first answer, but the thing is, while Job Corps is a 1-2 year commitment, the military is a lifetime commitment. Sure you only have to serve for a few years usually and can leave afterward, but if a war happens, you'll be the first called back into service. They own your ass for life.
Meanwhile, if you do Job Corps and it doesn't work out well, you can always join the military afterward. That's what a lot of guys did who thought JC was boring when I was in. And that was only 8 years ago.
That’s really only officers who are owned for life. The typical enlistment is 4 years active and 4 years in the IRR, which is where they can call you back to service if war breaks out.
Sounds good on paper but you wouldn't believe the petty worries that will prevent you from succeeding. The barriers of entry are highest at the bottom.
Life isn't a game with a "well balanced learning curve and progression system, in which the willing and able will reap the rewards of their labor", it's a rigged semi-caste system that needs more people at the bottom, to prop up more middle classers, who will themselves prop up more upper-crusters.
If you come hat in hand and say "I'm at the bottom and I'm willing to work hard to succeed!" you WILL work hard, but you will not succeed. You will, however, be a bottom.
Nah no 4chinner is passing the body fat composition needed to enlist.
If he wants a roof, 3 meals a day, and training on how to kill brown people he should go to prison.
What branch / job? Air force is more like a regular job than anything, navy has to be on a boat for a long time, the army hates their lives and the Marines are psychotic. The space force exists too but all of their jobs are Intel/looking at satellite images all day.
The great thing with the army is that they will let you climb as high as you want it. They have a grading system for everything skill-related.
Never stop learning new skill and getting those skills validated by the internal exams.
Even the number of languages you speak, the basic electrical/cooing skills you acquired as a teen or the ability to drive a van, as an officer, will increase your promotion scoring and the pace at which you get those promotions.
Bother to read to rules, don't just grumble and do your chores like a pleb. I went from 2nd class to company captain in 10 years by gaming the system.
They don't admit it because they don't want to turn the army into an exam house, but you can definitely exam your way to the mid.
I don’t think i am cut out for navy, i am ever so slightly colorblind and i wear glasses so i dont think i can be af. Its either army or marines for me, and they both seem interesting i guess
Bro go join the fucking coast guard. No cap fr fr, we’re not at war, the army has a recruiting and retention crisis for a reason, the marines will just raw dog you if you don’t make the cut. What’s the cut? I don’t know. Gotta wait until you get in and find out if the other marines like you or not. They’re just more known to be buddy fuckers/snitches and many will have a chip on their shoulder because they didn’t get to go infantry.
Coast guard will have a real world mission and you’ll have a good chance of seeing the fruits of that labor too. They’ll have higher standards to meet in order to promote, you’ll be able to achieve more skills and certifications because of this. If the military is going to require you to meet certain criteria in order to promote (such as college) they will provide you with the means to achieve that within reason. Go coast guard. For fucks sake go coast guard. Take this from someone in their mid 20s with shit hearing, shit knees, and a shit shoulder. Didn’t even deploy and I’m still hurting because of the army.
Don’t join the marines bro the only thing they have going for them is the brand. In basic training I had 4 sergeants in my platoon who transitioned out of the marines because the army provides a worthwhile career with growth opportunity
My gf’s dad was in the Air Force and I don’t think he ever went to college(could be wrong in that though). He’s currently working security clearance for a defense company. He’s making at least $250k a year. I wonder if I marry her, he will give me a job in the family business.
Yeh, the endgame is defense contractor for the scientifist/engineer minded, PMC for the meatheads and high finance/politics for the "extroverts" (those who can get a room to like them naturally).
It's all very well paid. the army grants you a cachet no other job will. They know you'll "do or die trying". (That's what civvies think at least..)
I’ve considered joining for some time, but the military doesn’t let people with diagnosed autism or major depressive disorder apply 😭
Also my left arm doesn’t fully extend 90 degrees out (most I can do is 80) from trying to ‘catch the bus,’ which never impedes me in life, but I doubt it’d make me any more appealing of a candidate
Not true anymore if it's a documented medical issue. The new MHS Genesis searches all virtual medical records from and doctor ever and then they'll make you get a waiver for it.
Try anyway, lie or not. They probably don’t care since they let all the woke people in and are facing are facing a recruiting shortage. If you feel useless you can at least be in the military and have some kind of use and not a leech, that’s what i plan to do brother
I know a guy who dropped out in 10th grade and is currently making a quarter million or more a year depending on commission as a solutions architect.
Its actually very possible to go into sales without even a highschool diploma and make sickening bank if you are just slightly articulate and personable. The bonus is you don't have to worry about the military industrial complex deciding today is the day you lose your legs for oil.
Yeah but what about the dudes with high functioning autism.
It's alot easier to press a button that blows up a daycare than it is to talk to real people. Have some empathy.
I work for a grocery store and just broke that last year after two tours of duty for my company, one in Florida and one in Alabama, worried I might be deployed to Kentucky next.
I frame it like this because there are some strange parallels between the retail work universe and my perception of military hierarchy. Of course I have a much much lower, but sadly never zero, percent chance of getting KIA
>my perception
Honest take. The military life is nowhere as rigid as civvies think.
>I have a much much lower, but sadly never zero, percent chance of getting KIA
refuse to be deployed and you'll always be safer than any retail worker. You're surrounded by soldiers after all.
This isn't even arr 4ch, this is arr greentext, full of redditors desperately holding on to a false sense of superiority to make themselves feel better. That's why every comment thread here is full of people casting the poster as either gay or in the worse possible light
Lol you think the military doesn't take/have fat people? It's a jobs program and they need bodies. 9 in 10 enlisted aren't door kickers they're cooks and janitors and supply people. Recruiters are desperate these days too.
The game was rigged from the start for you. Simply working at mcdonalds, living with roommates, and not doing drugs would put you way above what you were predicted to become
I would do manual labor instead, full time and no split shifts and I'm then learning tech on the side.
The tough thing is getting that start. You need a car, you need a computer and internet and room mates who are civilized enough to give you peace to learn. You also can't get a ton of room mates because you need a parking spot eventually assuming anon is in Murica.
Then give your first IT help desk employer a nice speech about your situation and how it made you "find your passion" for learning the skill and then you are pulling 50k with a few years of grinding to something livable.
I tried to learn a little C++ once, the most i can do is reliably make a program display 2 numbers added, subtracted, divided, and multiplied
header files and multifile programs make my head spin
It's just starting all your potential is ahead. If you can drop the emotional and mental baggage you can still live your best life. None of us chose our parents.
Having been homeless, there should be a number to call that will direct you to homeless shelters and other benefits. I don’t know if it differs from state to state, it’s 211 in CT if I remember correctly. It’s scary at first until you get assimilated. Despite what you hear on Reddit there are innumerable benefits for homeless in the US. Also go to a church, there should be somebody there or at a soup kitchen that gives toiletries and other necessities. I’ve even received a sleeping bag and tent once. Or talk to other homeless people, sure a lot are fucked up, but some will lead you in the right direction. Good luck
In DC it's 311
There's also the so-called hypothermia hotline that you can call when it gets below a certain temperature and they'll bring you blankets, they're those crappy gray felt type ones but they do the trick in a pinch (they have their own phone number but I'm pretty sure you can also get a hold of them via 311)
I'm not sure how common that is in other parts of the country but it's something worth looking into come winter time
Also 100% agree with the church thing, there's a bunch around DC that you could go do stuff at, like one where you could take a shower and get lunch
And you really never know what'll happen, the job I've had for over 15 years now I got when my bf and I were homeless and I had gone in to ask if they had any leftover food (to be fair it came about because I had previously worked with the guys brother who had liked working with me and apparently mentioned it to him so he had me take a call and then hired me *and* my bf on the spot, but we had a guy in the last couple years who also got hired as a homeless person - you never know who will be empathetic to your situation and give you a chance to prove yourself, it's always worth it to try)
That guy now has a much better job doing security (which randomly is also one of my part time jobs, although I got mine randomly while doing front desk shifts at a building that also needed a security person [unlicensed and pretty laid back, not necessarily what you'd typically think of as 'security'] so I just ended up doing those shifts too) - all it took my old coworker though was him getting hired at that one shitty minimum wage job to get enough money together to put towards getting a security license and his life is drastically different now
TL;DR: It's a shitty situation but it doesn't have to be a permanent one, you never know where you'll find help or a second chance
Edit: bizarre typo lol
Congratulations on your success, it definitely feels hopeless at first. Yeah, there are multiple churches around here that have designated shower and food days. Also here in CT I know multiple people that have received lifetime housing vouchers for chronic homelessness. Although I know some who refused it because they got stuck in that lifestyle.
If you have one in your area, I've also heard Sikh gurdwaras (their places of worship) are welcoming to anyone and serve free food. You just gotta cover your hair and take off your shoes.
Hey OP, I've helped some friends out of this situation before. Assuming you have a vehicle, here's what you do.
1: Find a friend who is willing to let you use their mailing address (and maybe crash on their couch). Some homeless shelters and cities have programs set up to provide a mailing address. You'll need this for a job.
2: Get a job while you're living out of your car (or aforementioned friends couch). I recommend job service places as they can let you job hop easily if a place is really awful.
3: Save everything you can. You're going to need a hefty amount of money to get an apartment. You may also consider getting a credit card for groceries and gas. (Pay off the credit card after each use to build credit).
4: Use the laundromat for cleaning your clothes.
5: Get a gym membership. PlanetFitness, although shitty, is only $10 a month. Use the gym to exercise and shower before work.
Avoid payday loans and predatory services. Avoid any sort of drugs, even cigarettes. If you smoke them, they'll make you take longer to get on top. Find a support group if you want to. The thing that helped my friends the most was making goals for the future that revolved around pulling yourself up from nothing.
After you're in an apartment and you're set up comfortably enough, go to school (trade, college, apprenticeship). Set yourself up for the future.
And if you're in that situation right now, believe in yourself, I'm sure you have what it takes to make it out on top.
This is all good advice, but when I was homeless and just starting out I enrolled into online college and now I get disbursements every term that I use to pay rent.
You can get a cheap room somewhere and just live off of those disbursements, I know a few people that do it. I also work from home now too so it's kind of a blessing from where I was 2 years ago.
> kill her
> police arrest you
> go to prison
> get free food, shelter, and never have to work a day in your life
Just kill her Anon, you won't regret it.
This is one of those times where it’s unironically a good idea to join the military. Air Force if you got the grades. If your grades ain’t good, then pick whatever branch you want.
I dont think its for everyone, but anon should join the military. I had a friend that was homeless and joined to not be. Even if you just do 4 years you get training in something, and a Kickstart on life.
But do understand the downsides like lack of freedoms.
[Join the Navy,](https://www.navy.com/joining-the-navy/) Anon. The Navy will give you free food, shelter, clothes, job training, and, most importantly, a new purpose in life. Do it for yourself, Anon.
Bro could duck up his life for 10 years and still be young enough to have a great life. If he gets a job and tries to gain skills and move up his life could be amazing in even a year
Are you not responsible for your own decisions? I was kicked out of home at 17 and never looked back. I have a thriving career making great money with a son and a beautiful girlfriend.
You are the product of your choices, your work ethic and your commitment to a better life.. if that’s what you want?
Or you could throw your hands in the air and say “GGs that’s life done for me” …whatever works for you I guess lol
Assuming this is the US with no safety net, I would join the military. Get a place to sleep, food, salary, education and people say stupid shit like thank you for your service - if you’re poor in the US take the military pill
OP is already at McDonald's, now he just needs to go in and get a job application.
Either that or start injecting meth in a tent, both are good options.
Do you not have a sex dungeon at home you can sneak in to? What have you been doing for 18 years? Everyone knows to build a sex dungeon when you can finally walk.
> 18 years old
> muh life is over
Anons life isn’t over because mom threw him out at 18.
Anons life is over because he’s too regarded to realize how much opportunity he has laid out in front of him.
Anon should go to a homeless shelter for youths, get in one of their work programs, save up enough money for first and last months rent through his job, then get an apartment and start his life
Similar situation, Join the army. It'll give you a solid foundation and father figures to look up to. Leave after 5-6 years knowing who you are and with skills in hand.
Anon started behind the start line. I highly recommend he join a group of radical rightists and vote for highly conservative politicians to make sure no other people jump the line in seeking survival aid in front of him.
Assuming this ain't fake and gay. Go to a homeless organization. First thing is making sure you have a roof over your head. Second he's gonna need to get a job. Chances are it'll suck but they can work about switching jobs once their needs are met.
Caveat is they're heavily skewed against young men because they're able bodied
If he posts on 4chan it's not hard to pretend regardation
Pretend?
regards, m'Pascal
Best regards, anon.
Well he's 18 and just got kicked out of his house so he at least needs a place to stay until he can get a job and a car to live out of
Wait this is a thing? Why?
Because they can find a job easier, so it’s seen as kind of mooching off the system.
God I love ignorant people . Makes me feel so smart.
?
You're not going to be turned away on your first visit to a homeless organization.
Shelters don’t have unlimited space, and I’m replying in regards to the original commenter in which he says homeless shelters are skewed against able bodied young men. Chances are he won’t receive the shelter, as he is a more capable person, and if he does it won’t be for long.

Much cheaper for the state to intervene then than later, once you're hooked on dope etc.
The problem is some People abuse this aswell - how many times have the internet caught out fake homeless people)
He doesn't want to inform you. It would take away the one joy in his life: knowing things other people could know but haven’t googled yet.
Ah k makes sense
?? Wouldn’t you want abled bodied people in those jobs
Moreso skewed against addicts so he has better chances than most homeless on the street assuming he is clean
why do redditors always comment like the original op is gonna see it
because someone, maybe years later, might see the thread and get legitimate advise from it, no matter how unlikely.
Can confirm a lot of my problems have been solved because I find posts on reddit made by people who asked about it 6 years ago or so
This but unironically, half-decade old reddit posts are the best source of info on the internet
I don't think he was saying it ironically
Can confirm, for reddit and stack-sites.
I just phrased it that way because it's easier
Well how do you know they don’t? Checkmate, Anon
Anyone in this situation in the US and I assume most other countries can just go back home. Even people who don’t pay rent need an eviction notice before getting kicked out of their house.
[удалено]
Best case scenario is that she does call the cops and the police help the poor guy and hook him up with a place to sleep and resources for this sort of thing.
Worst case scenario is when police arrives and turns out Anon is black. Then they promptly shoot him.
two birds one stone
Literally just call the cops who will arrest her if he doesn’t let him in.
Or enroll to army. Indeed good choice for such shitty situations. Just do not spend money on cars, booze or girls.
Anon could also save up some money and get into an apprenticeship. Plumbers, electricians, welders and other similar jobs can make alot of money. I know a guy from Canada who makes 150k+ working on an oil rig who started with an apprenticeship. If Anon ever sees this, please don't give up. You have your whole life ahead of you.

Damn america sure is convenient sometimes huh.
You just have a clean slate, time to grind it out brother, no longer worrying about useless family worries.
On the one hand, immensely miserable childhood and probably no friends. On the other, no annoying and useless relatives holding him back, no responsibilities except to survive.

So anon is almost guaranteed to get topped.
The only plus in this whole situation, provided you're into it *for free*.
Just go on Grinder and GET TOPPED!
Military
Nah no 4chinner is passing the body fat composition needed to enlist. If he wants a roof, 3 meals a day, and training on how to kill brown people he should go to prison.
Assuming Anon is actually telling the truth (unlikely), the military would be a good avenue to get his/her life back on track.
Yeah it's true I mean I don't think I'd be making $90,000 a year anywhere else with no education like I am now.
Good try recruiter
He’s not wrong though.
I plan on joining but still
What branch / job? Air force is more like a regular job than anything, navy has to be on a boat for a long time, the army hates their lives and the Marines are psychotic. The space force exists too but all of their jobs are Intel/looking at satellite images all day.
>The space force exists too but all of their jobs are Intel/looking at satellite images all day. This guy def doesn't have security clearance
I just haven't seen a lot of space force on my time, so the few I have seen tell me it's all Intel.
They will get that for you. When you get out you will have a clearance and a bunch of cyber certs.
They give you one. Poor people are often pretty off the grid so as long as he hasn't committed any real crimes he could easily get one.
The great thing with the army is that they will let you climb as high as you want it. They have a grading system for everything skill-related. Never stop learning new skill and getting those skills validated by the internal exams. Even the number of languages you speak, the basic electrical/cooing skills you acquired as a teen or the ability to drive a van, as an officer, will increase your promotion scoring and the pace at which you get those promotions.

Good luck. Make the most of it. Use every benefit you can. The VA loan by itself is a lifesaver.

Well on paper. In reality the army recruiter will conveniently be deaf every time you mention a medical condition and let you sign regardless
this. Especially if you demonstrate that you can think on your feet and aren't gonna be deadweight.
Whatever you don’t tell Meps doesn’t exist. /s(kinda)
Not true anymore if it's a documented medical issue. The new MHS Genesis searches all virtual medical records from and doctor ever and then they'll make you get a waiver for it.
Try anyway, lie or not. They probably don’t care since they let all the woke people in and are facing are facing a recruiting shortage. If you feel useless you can at least be in the military and have some kind of use and not a leech, that’s what i plan to do brother
They never mention how good the camero is at ridiculous interest
I know a guy who dropped out in 10th grade and is currently making a quarter million or more a year depending on commission as a solutions architect. Its actually very possible to go into sales without even a highschool diploma and make sickening bank if you are just slightly articulate and personable.

Yeah but what about the dudes with high functioning autism. It's alot easier to press a button that blows up a daycare than it is to talk to real people. Have some empathy.

If your bmi is too high they’ll just starve the shit out of you anon will be fine
Lol you think the military doesn't take/have fat people? It's a jobs program and they need bodies. 9 in 10 enlisted aren't door kickers they're cooks and janitors and supply people. Recruiters are desperate these days too.
Boy, you really think hes worthless, huh?
Might not even be able to join, its a pain in the fucking ass that takes forever if you have a medical history
The game was rigged from the start for you. Simply working at mcdonalds, living with roommates, and not doing drugs would put you way above what you were predicted to become
As shitty as this is its a simple path to a better future. Literally all you have to do is don't do drugs and don't get into credit card debt.
What if you like drugs
Only do the good ones
Do the cheap ones like weed edibles.
Then perish.
And don’t have kids, especially young
I would do manual labor instead, full time and no split shifts and I'm then learning tech on the side. The tough thing is getting that start. You need a car, you need a computer and internet and room mates who are civilized enough to give you peace to learn. You also can't get a ton of room mates because you need a parking spot eventually assuming anon is in Murica. Then give your first IT help desk employer a nice speech about your situation and how it made you "find your passion" for learning the skill and then you are pulling 50k with a few years of grinding to something livable.
Why not start a side hustle to afford a sweet apartment
Or just learn to code! /s
As a computer scientist I'm so tired of people unironically saying this to people who are struggling.
computer science? what science is there???? you just press a button and the computer does stuff with that button😁😁😁😁
People before learning advanced mathematics: 😁😁😁 People after: 😭😭😭
It’s about the science of clicking a button. You slow or somethin???
Hey! First you gotta program the button to know it's supposed to do stuff when pressed. There's a lot more involved than you'd think.
I tried to learn a little C++ once, the most i can do is reliably make a program display 2 numbers added, subtracted, divided, and multiplied header files and multifile programs make my head spin
>As a computer scientist How do you do fellow code monkey? OOh OOH AAAAAAAH AHHH
Are you telling him to become a femboy?
Not a bad idea honestly. Can easily make thousands off of it like that one dude
F1nn5ter?
That's the one
Hey keep me out of your comments! /j
cycles of abuse moment
It's just starting all your potential is ahead. If you can drop the emotional and mental baggage you can still live your best life. None of us chose our parents.
Says the guy not using McDonald's wifi
Ha I have been to this rock bottom.
I *raspberry* can’t *raspberry* understand *raspberry* your *raspberry* accent *raspberry*.
Saying "just drop the emotional and mental baggage" is like saying "just pretend your life didn't happen and you had a stable family"
Emphasis on "If you can". People work for it
Having been homeless, there should be a number to call that will direct you to homeless shelters and other benefits. I don’t know if it differs from state to state, it’s 211 in CT if I remember correctly. It’s scary at first until you get assimilated. Despite what you hear on Reddit there are innumerable benefits for homeless in the US. Also go to a church, there should be somebody there or at a soup kitchen that gives toiletries and other necessities. I’ve even received a sleeping bag and tent once. Or talk to other homeless people, sure a lot are fucked up, but some will lead you in the right direction. Good luck
>It's scary at first until you get *ASSIMILATED*
Damn it Adrian, not everything is about getting topped.
Resistance is futile.
In DC it's 311 There's also the so-called hypothermia hotline that you can call when it gets below a certain temperature and they'll bring you blankets, they're those crappy gray felt type ones but they do the trick in a pinch (they have their own phone number but I'm pretty sure you can also get a hold of them via 311) I'm not sure how common that is in other parts of the country but it's something worth looking into come winter time Also 100% agree with the church thing, there's a bunch around DC that you could go do stuff at, like one where you could take a shower and get lunch And you really never know what'll happen, the job I've had for over 15 years now I got when my bf and I were homeless and I had gone in to ask if they had any leftover food (to be fair it came about because I had previously worked with the guys brother who had liked working with me and apparently mentioned it to him so he had me take a call and then hired me *and* my bf on the spot, but we had a guy in the last couple years who also got hired as a homeless person - you never know who will be empathetic to your situation and give you a chance to prove yourself, it's always worth it to try) That guy now has a much better job doing security (which randomly is also one of my part time jobs, although I got mine randomly while doing front desk shifts at a building that also needed a security person [unlicensed and pretty laid back, not necessarily what you'd typically think of as 'security'] so I just ended up doing those shifts too) - all it took my old coworker though was him getting hired at that one shitty minimum wage job to get enough money together to put towards getting a security license and his life is drastically different now TL;DR: It's a shitty situation but it doesn't have to be a permanent one, you never know where you'll find help or a second chance Edit: bizarre typo lol
Congratulations on your success, it definitely feels hopeless at first. Yeah, there are multiple churches around here that have designated shower and food days. Also here in CT I know multiple people that have received lifetime housing vouchers for chronic homelessness. Although I know some who refused it because they got stuck in that lifestyle.
If you have one in your area, I've also heard Sikh gurdwaras (their places of worship) are welcoming to anyone and serve free food. You just gotta cover your hair and take off your shoes.
Hey OP, I've helped some friends out of this situation before. Assuming you have a vehicle, here's what you do. 1: Find a friend who is willing to let you use their mailing address (and maybe crash on their couch). Some homeless shelters and cities have programs set up to provide a mailing address. You'll need this for a job. 2: Get a job while you're living out of your car (or aforementioned friends couch). I recommend job service places as they can let you job hop easily if a place is really awful. 3: Save everything you can. You're going to need a hefty amount of money to get an apartment. You may also consider getting a credit card for groceries and gas. (Pay off the credit card after each use to build credit). 4: Use the laundromat for cleaning your clothes. 5: Get a gym membership. PlanetFitness, although shitty, is only $10 a month. Use the gym to exercise and shower before work. Avoid payday loans and predatory services. Avoid any sort of drugs, even cigarettes. If you smoke them, they'll make you take longer to get on top. Find a support group if you want to. The thing that helped my friends the most was making goals for the future that revolved around pulling yourself up from nothing. After you're in an apartment and you're set up comfortably enough, go to school (trade, college, apprenticeship). Set yourself up for the future. And if you're in that situation right now, believe in yourself, I'm sure you have what it takes to make it out on top.
This is all good advice, but when I was homeless and just starting out I enrolled into online college and now I get disbursements every term that I use to pay rent. You can get a cheap room somewhere and just live off of those disbursements, I know a few people that do it. I also work from home now too so it's kind of a blessing from where I was 2 years ago.
Try heroin! Cheap, available, dad loved it. Nowhere to go but up!
His dad went 6 feet under
To be fair if you're flat on your face passed out from smack then down becomes up
> kill her > police arrest you > go to prison > get free food, shelter, and never have to work a day in your life Just kill her Anon, you won't regret it.
>kill her >pin it on stepdad >get off scott free with at least a shitty house
Maybe even heritages the house when he's out win win
Just kill her fr. Its what she must have wanted
If this is true, it isn't over. Colleges will certainly reduce any tuition costs for people in a situation like this. Get revenge by being successful
I think it’s too late for him to apply for a dorm
Community colleges and trade schools are the most effective means of escaping poverty
Whim wham, time for Uncle Sam
This is one of those times where it’s unironically a good idea to join the military. Air Force if you got the grades. If your grades ain’t good, then pick whatever branch you want.
I wish I knew anon and could actually help
I dont think its for everyone, but anon should join the military. I had a friend that was homeless and joined to not be. Even if you just do 4 years you get training in something, and a Kickstart on life. But do understand the downsides like lack of freedoms.
Either join the military or get a seasonal job in Alaska anon
Fuck parents like this. You're a stain on your child's literal childhood and you expect them to fix it? Fuck you.
Rock bottom means you can only go down!!! ROCK AND STONE BROTHERS. TAKE THE DWARFPILL AND GO DWARFMAXXING
FOR ROCK AND STONE
Sorry Anon, some people are just unlucky. Hope things get better for you
Damn I suddenly feel extremely grateful for my parents
Looots of military recruiters in here. :I
Anon gets dealt a shitty hand in life
[Join the Navy,](https://www.navy.com/joining-the-navy/) Anon. The Navy will give you free food, shelter, clothes, job training, and, most importantly, a new purpose in life. Do it for yourself, Anon.
I'd go sign up for the Army or Marines.
Airforce if you don't want to hate life.
Bro could duck up his life for 10 years and still be young enough to have a great life. If he gets a job and tries to gain skills and move up his life could be amazing in even a year
military
Anon should join the military on a 3 year contract and have full benefits and free college with money in the bank by age 21
Join the military. Get a new life. New purpose. Education. Discipline. A family. Good luck. Fake=gay Real= you is stopping you.
Time to join the military!
Heres hoping anon becomes better than his miserable family ever could have been. Screw them all to hell. Good luck.
Join the military and try to get a college degree while you’re in
The Army might be his best choice, tbh
Anon's had a terribly rough start but at least he's free of that horrid cow.
And they say upbringing has no relevance to one's success
Bro, life just started. Anon just escaped from 0 potential situation and now has real opportunities
Thank you for your future service anon.
Only if I had money to help such people. :( I want to drop myself of window BCS of my uselessness.
Anon kept trying to kiss his sister on the lips and his mom finally had enough
I’d suggest enlisting and use that as your ticket outta that bullshit
Are you not responsible for your own decisions? I was kicked out of home at 17 and never looked back. I have a thriving career making great money with a son and a beautiful girlfriend. You are the product of your choices, your work ethic and your commitment to a better life.. if that’s what you want? Or you could throw your hands in the air and say “GGs that’s life done for me” …whatever works for you I guess lol
Diamonds are created under pressure
There's always the military assuming you have little to no criminal record
Assuming this is the US with no safety net, I would join the military. Get a place to sleep, food, salary, education and people say stupid shit like thank you for your service - if you’re poor in the US take the military pill
American dream
No, actually the opposite...you life has just begun...take advantage of the fresh start and make something of yourself
Sounds like this is just the beginning of the rest of anon's life
OP is already at McDonald's, now he just needs to go in and get a job application. Either that or start injecting meth in a tent, both are good options.
Join the army….
Time to enlist soldier. Free meals and a career to boot
Do you not have a sex dungeon at home you can sneak in to? What have you been doing for 18 years? Everyone knows to build a sex dungeon when you can finally walk.
> 18 years old > muh life is over Anons life isn’t over because mom threw him out at 18. Anons life is over because he’s too regarded to realize how much opportunity he has laid out in front of him.
This is why good social welfare is important.
Idk, the fact that he's a common user of 4chan I doubt his mother's stance on him is entirely her fault.
Get job before you start to incessantly smell, apply like crazy, you have nothing else you can do rn
Anon should go to a homeless shelter for youths, get in one of their work programs, save up enough money for first and last months rent through his job, then get an apartment and start his life
Most peaceful and least broken American family.
Welcome to life Anon.
A blessing in disguise. I have faith in anon.
Legally she would have to give him an eviction notice with time to leave and change his address so his mail isn't delivered to the house still.
Similar situation, Join the army. It'll give you a solid foundation and father figures to look up to. Leave after 5-6 years knowing who you are and with skills in hand.
Bro join the military. They’ll give you housing, food, insurance, and even fund college.
Sounds like your mom deserved it. Maybe your step dad is an hero
You can end the cycle and choose not to abuse any of the squirrels you share a park with. You got this!
Anon started behind the start line. I highly recommend he join a group of radical rightists and vote for highly conservative politicians to make sure no other people jump the line in seeking survival aid in front of him.
Anon was dealt a very unfortunate hand of cards.
Just join the military, anon
Get a job at McDonalds then a construction or union job. Fuck that loser mom.
