What should I do about this... ? I'm homeless...?!
Question: What should I do about this!.!.!. !? I'm homeless!.!.!.!?
I'm 16, live in the UK!. Mum hits me and calls me names all the time, I think b/c of her depression, so in january she sent me to live with dad who was nice at first then beat me badly, broke my arm and police got involved through hospital!. Now he hates me!. Mum let me move back in, but now wants to chuck me out on thursday!. This is not illegal b/c I'm 16!.
I have panic disorder, severe panic attacks and agoraphobia (fear of going outside house), so I don't think I can cope!. I have routines that must be followed or I have severe panic attacks!. Dr doesn't want to medicate me, and ignores my concerns!.
Council @ Connexions housing office applied for a place for me at YMCA but could take months, so will have to live at One Stop in meantime (which is where family gives you meal and bed then a lift to town) but i will have to wander town all day everyday which won't help my agoraphobia!.
Can't get a job, as am still in school from september!.
What can I do!?
All ideas welcome,
thanks!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Wow this is alot i gotta commend you for being so strong through this !. I live in the us so i don't quite know what the laws and stuff are so my advice might be off but hopefully not by much !.First off you have a disease and if you feel that your doctor isnt treating you right then change doctors , go get a new opinion ect ! Really anything in your power to do !. I think the most important thing is your mental health without that you are going to to be lost to the streets ! So please i know the situations extremely difficult but get yourself meds and therapy that you need first !. Abuse you faced by not only one but two of your parents runs deep so go there with an open mind so you can heal !.
Next , Well honestly you did the best thing you can do which is getting the hell away from the abuse !. That **** isn't your fault i am sorry your life is so ****** up because two grown *** people decided to treat you this way !. In life there are ppl that are called poisonous you know !. These people drain your emotions and abuse you mental and physical !. So stay away from those ppl i know there your parents but getting yourself the hell away from this mess is the best thing for you !.
Your situation is really complex if i was in your situation i would go to social services where they would by law hopefully sort out what you eat , sleep and you could go to school without worries !. Also i would get a side job and save my butt off so when you age out you wont be screwed !. Also social services will give you the medical attention you need so i definably think you should take that route !. Be completely honest with the workers so they don't stick you back with your parents !.
I think you should take this course of action right this moment before you get panic attacks and stuff !.
Woah my prayers are with you !. You are welcome to email me if you want !. Stay strong and stay in school also fight like hell to make something of yourself and not be the messed up ppl that your parents were to you !.

You'll have to ust get a job in a super market or summat and rent a room in a shared house, or get a live in job at a hotel!. If the doctor doesn't think you need help pull yourself together, you need to be strong and clear headed if you've only got yourself to rely on!. Stay away from drink and drugs as well cos it won't help!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Bloody hell :S
Seen somany people been in that situation!.
Id say talk to your mother!. but then it wouldent help!. parents actions are unpredictable!.
See if you can stay at a friends house
Like a best friend or something!. anyfriend will do till you can get a place to stay!.
streets and stuff has to be the WORST idea to stay!.!.!.
You get druggies, drunks, homless old men and stuff not saying they could be reeally bad people but your rather young and you dont want to be raped or attacked or anything!.
You can get a job at your age!.
you have a limmited hours of work and stuff since your still in school!. so you finish school at 3 and i think you should finish at 6 or something!.
3 hours aday!.
see if you can get a part time job!. but if your grades get worse after getting the job you'll loose it immideatley!.
Goodluck hope all turns out ok!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I would go back to the youth service, and see if you could talk to someone else, there are options out there and back up plans specifically for this reason!. If you lived near me i would refer you right away, go back to your local councils youth service or to connexions!. We have a place called The Foyer where there are always beds for young people, there will be similar where you live!. Make sure they are aware of your health problems, the end result wont be perfect you will struggle!. Really hope it works out!. Also, go back to your doctors and ask for medication, explain you will need it now more than ever, if he still doesnt then i would be complainig if i were you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
hi!.go to the local citizens advise centre first as they will advise you on what course to take!.notify your local council and register as homeless!.if you are assaulted again press charges so it goes on record!.this will help you when you need to prove that you are homeless through no fault of your own!.hope this helps!.regards Paul!.by the way if you are still in school then your mother is still your legal guardian,and she is still getting child allowance for you!.she will have to notify the benefits agency that you no longer live there and she will lose any money that they pay for you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
