Answer #1

You’re parents seriously won’t let you stay with them? Why? I find it hard to believe that any parents would want their teen to wander the streets homeless with no where to go. Is it possible they are bluffing, trying to teach you a lesson? What happened between you and your parents that made them not want you to live with them anymore, or you with them? I think the best thing to do in your situation is to do whatever you have to do to get back in their house; you can be considered a runaway right now. Apologize for whatever you did and if you’re doing something they don’t allow you to do, stop doing it. At your age in the U.S. the only other options you have is foster care or emancipated minor and I doubt that either would be any easier. Just get through the next couple years as best you can, keep your grades up and get into a college. If you have no where to sleep tonight, try a friend or relative’s house.

Answer #2

theres shelters around every city but you have to queue up to get a place and they close at a certain time and you have to leave at 9am I think, an alternative is renting or sharing a house with other peeps its cheap once you have a job or go to a friends or familys house, if your underage go to the police station and let them know your parents threw you out because they cant throw you out if your underage, go find a social worker, theres alternatives get informed
