Hang in there! I was just 18 when I was on my own. Had 200 dollars in pocket, a car, and a dream. I am now 20 1/2 and my life has changed drastically. Just know that know matter how rough it is your family will always take you in. People will always be there to help you. Follow your dreams and make them happen. If you keep positive thoughts you can do anything no matter the age. This is the age to take the world by two hands, which may be scary but you are in control.
