okay guys, here's the problem, i'm 16, but i have no job and my mom might kick me out of the house because she wants me to get a job. i can't find one. so if she kicks me out, who do i talk to to get some support and sepperate living, because i know someone in my school who did it. but she had to be abused by her parents (sexually) before she could get emancipated. so what i need is to get my own place without a job until i can get one. i'm in canada if it helps, bc, abbotsford.and quickly, i don't know how much longer she'll hold.
need to move out, mom might really lose it.

Um. I don't think she can legally kick you out for not having a job at 16... But... maybe start asking friends if you can crash on their couch if an emergency arises.
Most cities have some sort of shelter - usually a women's shelter, but there are homeless youth shelters as well. Look local ones up in the phonebook/on the internet. They'd know how to get yourself situated.
Sorry to hear about your troubles, and I hope things work out.

are you entitled to job seekers allowance?soperg said:
because if you are, you could just give your mum either some of it or all of it if necessary until you find a job.
I'm pretty sure that your mom has a legal obligation to provide for you as your a minor. My advice would be to talk to a school counselor and try not to be a burden on your Mother. Surely she doesn't want you to move out just because you don't have a job? Make her see that your trying, trying at everything. Once your 18 you can do this.

You're still a minor, so kicking you out can get her in trouble with the law for neglect. You aren't legally an adult, so if she won't take care of you then child services (or whatever the equivalent you have in Canada is) will step in. Go to school and talk with your counselor about it. Just whatever you do don't run away or try to fend for yourself like she wants. That will only get you into more trouble, and not just with your mom.soperg said:

If you seriously can't find a job (although I think you're just being too picky), then I don't have any advice for you. Good luck.
scour the internet maybe? your in canada right? so look for benefits in canada.soperg said:
if you cant find anything, go into a government agency and ask.
Try harder to get a job. You're probably being offensive in some way. There's something wrong with you.soperg said:

Really people?
Reality check. Not everyone gets along with their parents.
Anyways...
Eugh...good luck with the job hunt. I spent over a year unemployed, before only recently having found employment at a stable location. (having to postpone my college education in the process due to lack of funding as well.)
That said, I'd advise checking with your school counselor for advise on the situation. Quite frankly, given your age, your primary focus should be on completing your secondary education. Sure having a part-time job at your age can be a good idea, so long as it doesn't interfere with your schooling; but seeing as how you're in a situation where you have the opportunity to acquire a quality education...well, it's simply the best course of action. Both short term and long.
At any rate, I wish you the best of luck.
