My name is john and im 17, i live in south carolina with my dad..ok heres the story. I recently dropped out of school because i made some bad choices the earlier part of the semester and my grades are irrecoverable. I know i messed up and i take responsibilty for that. Anyways,im going back to school in August because i want my diploma, i didnt quit because i was lazy i took a brief vacation to gather myself. well i have a job now i work full time at piggly wiggly. Prior to dropping out my father told me if i did that that i would have to pay for my own rent, water bill, light bill, car insurance, gas, everything i needed money for i would have to pay...and hes keeping me grounded while he is MAKING me stay here and pay him, so its like im paying to be punished. i would like to move out of the house, but what i really wanna know is if it is legal for him to make me pay him me not being emancipated, im goin crazy, thanks!

You seem very independent with a strong head on your shoulders. You need to express your feeling's to your father, otherwise you might want to look into getting emancipated. Keep up the good work, go to school, and keep working and you'll be fine. Good Luck!

I stumbled on this page accidently, but took the time to read your complaint. I am 22 & a single mother who lives with her crazy mother and even crazier grandmother. Take it from an older source, parents are controlling psychos!!! Seriously though, explain to your father that if he wants to treat you like an adult which he should since you dropped out and are "making a living", that he must accept you acting like an adult. If he makes you pay for all of your bills, then he needs to accept that you are a "tenant", even though you are his teenage son. If he's charging rent, he cannot ground you.
