No support not a penny 2 mi name.

I’m 14 and really want to be a police officer when I’m older. I have told my family and at first they supported me but my mum anddad just don’t care. They say just go with what you want. It is your future but as soon as you’re 16 you are moving out. I can’t start college till I’m 16 and even then I have to pay 200 pounds for the course. Then my mum and dad say if I want to stay I have to give them 400 pounds for 1 month. I can’t afford that. I have no money what so ever now. I don’t have a penny to my name!!! I’m scared I’m going to end up homeless and you can’t do the course without an adress.

My first notion would be to suggest you may need to garner gainful employment. Even if you’re just working for a minimum wage, accruing some income will help you out big-time. It may seem difficult, but you may want to look at areas nearby your current home that will be willing to hire you. I’m unsure about where you’re from, but here in Arizona (United States) Customer Service Call Centers are really big and often have a high turn-over rate… thusly they are nearly always hiring people. If you are not of an age (locally) where you can become employed, that puts a monkey-wrench into the works. Some colleges will help you receive Financial Aid, and of those that do, many will help you with finding a room-mate to live with for a period of time… there are also colleges where you live On-Campus. Finally, some Financial Aid types will even send you an amount for living expenses (groceries, transportation, housing and etc…) Ultimately, if you go the FA route, you will need to get a job once you are out of College and prepare within the contractual time-limitations to pay back the institution.

Other than that, I can’t say I know off-hand what you can do. If you weren’t so young, I’d suggest a relationship might offer some stability, but generally even then you will want a job to support your own side of the relationship.

Best of Luck, and I hope this was somewhat helpful.

You could always join the military. They offer really good benefits, places to stay. And you get cash. :)

Answer #3

That is sad. Sit down and talk to your parents. Let them know that they play an important role in your future. They sound slightly selfish. I understand they make you pay to learn finances and help out but do you have other family members around your area? Maybe you can pay them less than what your parents are asking. I highly doubt your family would let you live on the streets. Goodluck and take care.
