    John's MP3 N/A N/A


    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!

    Well maybe if you were not so irresponsible in the first place and did not drop out you would not be in this situation. What your father is doing is called discipline. Deal with it and grow up...

    If you are paying him. its like paying rent to a landlord. Therefore you should come as you please and do as you like, and if he has a problem with that, QUIT PAYING HIM. that wasnt so hard was it?
