    Hi dude,

    Listen to me: Go back to your family and ask to have a proper/adult conversation about what is happening. Tell them all of your worries an don't just accept things the way they are. Be as open and honest as you can be, and they will be too.

    If you go back and talk to them and it turns out that you still have to go, you will need some time to look for a flat. They should be aware of this.

    You will need a deposit (usually a month's rent) in advance and the first month's rent aswel.
    You will most likely need to sign on as soon as you can, and in the meantime get financial support from the Health Board.

    You say your in 6th year, are/were you doing exams? Your family should also be aware of what your going through in this regard.

    The only suggestion I can make is to give Childline a call, or chat with them online:

    1800 66 66 66

    http://www.childline.ie/

    They might be able to offer you support and advice on how to deal with the situation.

    I know they're for under 18's, but you've just turned and are still in school, so I doubt they're going to turn you away. Anyway, they're not going to ask you for a birth cert.

    Good luck.

    Hi OP, As far as I know you are not entitled to any dole until you have left school for 3 months, you may need to see her local community welfare officer. My daughter is just 18 and just doing her leaving at the moment and to be honest I don't think they really want you to leave, especially with no income etc. Speak to your family, try to get some summer work, they are just trying to get you to improve your behaviour by saying they want you out. I know how stressful the leaving is, I'm afraid to look at my daughter some days and God help me if a door bangs or I drop a spoon. I would be so worried if she moved out with no financial support, I bet your parents/family would to. Good Luck, bet you will be ok, Let us know how you get on.
