Speak Up! - View Question #17600 |
 printer friendly version
Question: I have a 16 year old that wants to move out and had been causing a lot of problems at home with our other children. He does not do anything to help out at home and has been caught smoking pot many times. He only goes to school when he wants to and will not get a job. He has no respect for anyone and it is affecting the other children in a negative way. What can we do to get him out of the house or away from our other children?
Answer: Legally the child is your responsibility until he is 18. If you want the child out of the house you may consider putting him in a treatment center for the drugs, or sending him to a school that is strong on discipline. The only other way to get him out of the house would be to have another member of your family take him in. Family counseling may also be a good option at this point.

Hi i'm 16 and i really REALLY want to move out of this place i'm forced to call a home. I'm the family punching bag, both verbally and physically speaking. My dad hits me and my brother beats me up..literally. The worst part is my mom keeps telling me that i deserve to be hit..that maybe then i'll learn my lesson and finally be a good daughter. I can't stand living here anymore. I'm constantly living in fear and i'm afraid to live my life. For the longest time i was convinced i don't want to live..now i just realize idont want to live HERE.
