How can I afford moving out?

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>I am a senior in high school: age 18</p>

<p>So life has turned from bad to worse recently, and I don't think I can do it anymore. My mental health is deteriorating. My home is hell. So, I am trying to look for options to move out. I have found a way where I can take classes at my local community college through college connection instead of the current rigorous schedule I have. This wold allow me enough free time to get a job.
So I would have a little money.</p>

<p>Now how could I move out? I've thought about living at a friends house, finding a roommate, & staying in a small rental. However, it is probably only the first of these that I can afford, and it is also too much to ask, really.</p>

<p>So what are my options for moving out? Do you guys see any way I can make this a possibility?</p>

<p>I need a fast but temporary solution, to last until college starts.</p>

<p>Thank you.</p>

<p>If your home life is truely a problem (abuse, illness, drug addiction, or the like) then asking a friends’ parents if you can rent a room is a reasonable request. Many families would welcome a good friend of a child who was in a bad situation. Renting a room makes it less of a handout. Just be sure to chip in with chores, follow the rules, be respectful and it’s a perfectly viable temporary solution.</p>

<p>When my cousin was 18, he and a few friends went and rented an apartment.</p>

<p>I know that he was living there before he even graduated, because my parents went over and visited him to pick up tickets for his graduation.</p>

<p>If you can get someone to rent out to you (family friends or otherwise), then do it. If you have to, you could probably stay in like an extended stay or something.</p>
