I know people that have been kicked out of their parents house the day they graduated high school - people with nowhere to go, and no money because their parents REFUSED to let them get a job in high school. If not for strangers help, that person would have just been another homeless person for the rest of their instead of a college graduate with two degrees - a person who worked full time while going to school full time during both degrees just to earn them, and is now pursuing a phD. That person wasn't lazy. His parents just didn't want to see him have a chance in life that they didn't have and so they did everything they could to keep him from getting one - they were jealous of their own kids success and so tried to sabotage his adult life when sabotaging his childhood didn't work out for them

*Seriously the number of people who have never heard of university libraries (ie how are you using a computer if you are kicked out) never ceases to amaze me. its like every poster here is 12 years old and sheltered from the world

aha, u can expect that from one of those american parents...

17 - many people who are kicked out have it happen because the parents are ****** up people, even if the kid did absolutely nothing wrong. I'd say getting kicked out is the cause of having a ****** up life, not the result of. Even if the kid was a fuckup, you're more likely to turn your life around if you're living in a sheltered house than out on the streets. And s/he could easily be using a library computer. Those do exist, you know. 24 is right. To the OP, sorry, man :(

Im in my car and I think i just heard the beep beep beep sound while reading that

My mom was disowned by her mom when she was thirteen, and since she wasnt eighteen she had to go into foster homes. Their was nothing wrong with my mom. It was her mom that was ****** up. So #1 and 17, it's not always the kids fault that they get thrown out.

I know a friend whose parents say as soon as she graduates college they're kicking her out....so basically...she has a huge ass debt on her hands, she may not be guranteed a job because of this economy, she will all of a sudden have to pay rent, health insurance, buy a car/car loan...etc ect etc.... People can say "Oh well people have to grow up" Well in my opinion its horrible for parents to just kick kids out especially when they have no money, are in debt and their bills are worth more than their lives because of this lovely US system here.... My friend is never gonna make it on her own..and she's terrified I am soooooooo grateful my parents told me I can stay with them as long as I want just so I can get on my feet and build a life for myself

You know, a person of average intelligence might reason they need to change something about their life and their thought patterns. At this point, the decisions you make determine if you are going to have a "FML", or a "CGRML" (come gang rape me life). Anyway, you seem to still have computer and Internet access.

Haha, this one made me laugh, mainly because it sounds like something out of a movie. Anyways, how old are you that you were staying at your parents' and didn't have a home to go back to? Also, what did you do that made you kick you out? Anddd, were you parked illegally to boot? Sucks for you, but it's kind of YDI, for getting kicked out and parking your truck in a towing zone.

Yeah I'm with 31, what did you do to get kicked out? And were you just so high or drunk off your ass that you didn't know you were parked illegally?
