21, no job, full time study, getting kicked out of home

[Snezza]

I have no idea what to do. My parents are kicking me out of home, due to the fact Im no longer letting them tell me what to do. I study full time diploma of childcare about 9 months out from finishing. I don't have a job and keep getting rejected to the ones I apply to. I also get rejected for help with centre link. I have a car and that's it. I don't have any savings. No one can help me either. I'm on my own. I soon won't be able to use my phone either as I can't pay the bill. Wont be able to drive as of next week as I'll be out of fuel. Ive got no food or anything to drink. Not sure where to go or what to do. The salvos won't take me seriously or help me as I can't prove anything.

Dear Snezza~

You are welcome here, however I'm not sure you are going to be particularly pleased with what I have to say though.

All the things you mention, no Centerlink, no Salvos, no money and no place to go seem to me to be a recipe for homelessness which is not something anyone would voluntarily do if they knew what it is like.

You said your parents are kicking you out as you refuse to be told what to do. Would you like to say what sort of things they are wanting you to do?

I would think they would be pretty pleased you are near the end of you studies, this shows determination and aptitude, something to be proud of. With so little time to go until you finish and can hopefully get a position and fiance yourself do you think there is room to compromise? Even if you believe you are in the right practicalities often mean things are not straightforward or black and white.

Hi snezza,

Have you spoken to student services at your education provider? They might have some resources they might be able to provide you with to help you.

Is there any family or friends who can offer support during this time such as a place to stay if you do have to leave your parents home.

here are a few organizations you might be able to speak with or have a look at their resources:

1. Homelessness Australia

2. Mission australia

3. St vincents (vinnies)

You mentioned the salvos needed you to prove your situation would they accept a bank statement that would prove your financial situation?

I hope these help and that your able to find assistance to help you through this tough time.

Kind regards,

Lolue

i won't break up with my partner, they don't like them and refuse to believe i am actually happy. they always come up with something else i'm doing wrong, i have to tell them where i am going, why i am going and its really frustrating, if its something they don't like they threaten to kick me out. i know i'm on my last chance with them. they are happy i'm close to completing my studies but its not enough. i've managed to stay home and i'm now 22. i did what they asked but i've been completely unhappy and gone back to my partner. everyone is siding with my parents so no one will take me in.

Snezza,

I read you are very close to finishing your studies and to have this looming over your head would be worrisome. When my wife goes out somewhere (and will ignore the kids here), she will tell me where she is going and how long she will be out for. I don't have to ask. So if someone were to call and ask for her, I could tell that other person to try again after some-time. Maybe your parents ask you about where you are going for similar reasons?

There was also a period of time when someone very close to me had completed their studies had problems finding work. Sometimes you have to do a bulk mail out or similar just to get one response. So please don't get too discouraged on this matter.

Lastly, you said that "if its something they don't like they threaten to kick me out"... do you think that you might be able to provide an example of this?

I am just wondering if there might be some sort of communication breakdown or misinterpretation? What do you think?

PS. How are you studies going?
