These girls are my sisters. (I'm in the middle)

I am the oldest. These girls are my world, especially my youngest sister. She's 5. She literally saved my life when I was so depressed I was contemplating ending it.

This is my best friend.

Obviously, we make some cute faces. This girl knows the ins and outs of my life; I tell her everything. I consider her as much a sister as the other two. I don't know what I would do without her.

Okay, well, this is my first post, but I literally cannot keep it in any longer. I have no one to talk to outside of school and work, and my thoughts are a monster. So here's the deal.
On Saturday, my mom and her boyfriend found out I'm not the "good" child they thought I am. I'm a junior in high school, but because I worked so hard 9th and 10th grades, I got into college for free through the Post Secondary Enrollment Option (PSEO). This means I am a full time college student at 17. I also work 20+ hours a week to help support my family. On Saturday, I got kicked out for the rest of the semester, and was supposed to go home in three weeks to figure out where to go from there.
Yesterday, I was working a 9 hour shift, when the cops showed up. My mom's boyfriend called them on my boyfriend to try and get him arrested. I was then told, in the middle of my shift, that I am not allowed to see my sisters, my brother, or ever go back to my home again. I was called unspeakable names, by the man who I had considered a father figure. My mother called me later that night crying because he had thrown all my stuff out into the mud.
I don't know what to do. I have family to stay with, and friends, and a job, so I'm not helpless. But I have no one. I have no phone, no car, and the clothes I own are what I could get into one backpack before leaving on Sunday morning. I have my text books and my laptop and two pairs of shoes, and that's all I own.
I don't know when I'll be able to see my sisters, or my brother again. It may be tomorrow, but it also may not be until they each successively turn 18. I have no idea.
I guess I'm just saying I kind of need support, and this site is one that I've always seen to be generally accepting and supportive, and I just really needed to clear my thoughts, and talking is the only way I can do that...

So yeah.

Thanks for reading, have some manatees since I think they're just as cute as kittens. ^.^

Aww where did you guys take the last pic?

I support you OP but I feel as though your story is lacking details! I might just be a nosey prick but those are my thoughts.

I tried to make it coherent, my thoughts aren't exactly understandable, but I'm pretty open if you wanna ask something about it

howaboutnoname

then you have my support OP! I hope everything is going to end up alright for you (and your sisters) ! :)

Thank you, I hope so too!

HammieRaeG

here for you. Stay strong!

usernameschmoosernamelosername

Whoa, that's sad & maybe a bit more than Imgur can handle...maybe you can talk to a counselor at your school....

luckycricket

Hope everything works out for you OP :(

Thank you!

nothankstoyou

Well my stand-by has always been chin up; where there is a will, there is a way. So you just have to have the will to get through it.

WhyWouldSomebodyAlreadyHaveMyUsername

Welp, don't kill yourself.

No, no that's not what I'm thinking anymore. It's just hard. Thank you though for caring

PluckedDuck

We love you. It WILL get better. Hang in there. You make your own joy!

LetsTalkGameDesign

Seventeen, you say? My, what an interesting pair of manatees.

Okay I've read this like 568 times and I'm just now understanding what you mean and I thought you were a jerk but you're really not

Ronoc55

You may not know this, but everyone here needs a friend like you. You've come to the right place.

Thank you. I really do hope I did

yael91

I'm so sorry you're going through this; I have no words. Fight this- you have support. Family, us, friends- remember you are NEVER alone.

Thank you... I never thought it would come to this but I really hoped at least the internet would support me, so it really means a lot

themostclevernicknameyouwilleversee

stopped reading when OP said she was 17

I'm sorry ): Lol if it counts I'm almost 18

i was in college as a 17 year old too. i was an athlete, i still needed a permission slip :(

Haha that's like the worst part! And everyone like, tiptoes around me because I'm "jailbait"

fardreamer91

I'm sorry. Have you tried talking to them?

I have, he won't listen and my mom just cries a lot. It does no good. /:

athenapallasthewise

I want to support you, but I see big gaps in this story. What are the things you did to make you not a "good" girl, get kicked out of school

and aggravate your family to such an extent. I understand that not every family is supportive, but I don't know if that's the case.

And while I sympathize in some ways already, I am unfortunately skeptical of most 17-year-olds who get into trouble for "no reason."

I didn't get kicked out of school, my step dad is trying to get me thrown out of school. It's because they caught me smoking.

I read: "I got kicked out for the rest of the semester." That's kicked out. Unless kicked out means something different.

Of my house lol. Not my school. I'm an A-B student, never been in trouble, school has no reason to throw me out

Excalus

1) what did your boyfriend do to get the cops called on him 2) if you're an emancipated minor, that changes things.3)are the siblings in CPS

1) nothing, stepdad just hates him. 2) I'm not emancipated... 3) whaaattt

ifatreefallsintheforest

Family first--don't let jerkoffs like your stepdad ruin all you've got going, get your family out of there and have your mom see the reality

My grandparents are trying to talk some sense into her, but I don't want my sister growing up w/o her parents together either

there's nothing wrong with having caring and attentive grandparents be dominant role models in your lives--your father?

Trying but he's not got the loudest voice in my life--he's always just followed what my mom says

Fair, but that kind of treatment is horrible, especially when it has such a traumatic impact on you and your young siblings--push your mom?

My grandparents are talking to her. She doesn't want to talk to me right now...

straightupfiveoutofseven

Keep up, stay in school and be prepared for the TL;DR's. You'll be okay OP, there are people out there that are just mean.

Thank you... Yeah, school's about all I've got right now and stepdad is doing his damnedest to take it from me.

StringVariable

Hope you can get support from school. If this hinders your education in any way (orly?), you can talk with some official (sry, English fail)

My step dad is threatening to ruin my chances of scholarship and take my college away. I'll have my real dad talk to him first before

getting anyone else involved, because that would escalate the problem a lot

I meant study coordinator and/or counsellor (again English fail). Might take some pressure off study, and/or emotional support. Dad is good.

rahrness

TL;DR. Now see, I'm a downvote fairy and all, and OP is an attention whore and all, yet I beseech my downvote fairy bretheren (1/3)

to spare OP their wrath, because emotionally-fragile people such as OP (suicide reference) don't just need empathy, they NEED it (2/3)

Does it really make a difference to you? No. Does it really make a difference to them? Yes. Pardon this one your wrath, my bretheren. (3/3)

Not gonna lie, I do like the attention, because I equate it to support which I am not receiving. But thank you..!

You know what? Good on you. My most practical wisdom to whose who are down and need a hand: However shitty you might feel, (1/3)

It's due to little more than chemicals in your brain. That's all. What's good about you is so much more than trivial shit like that. (2/3)

BiteTheHandsThatThieve

It seems scary as hell, but you will make it through this. Trust me. And you will come out stronger for it, too. Just don't give up.

I've been in my own kind of situation like this, though I wasn't as awesome as you are. but if I can make it, you can for sure.

Well, "awesome" isn't the adjective I'd use, but thank you! I'm glad it got better for you!

From just what you've posted here, I can tell you without a doubt that you're awesome. You kick ass! It'll get better for you too :)

Well thanks! That's very sweet! I sincerely hope it does get better

It will. I wont lie, it's going to be scary and hard for a little while. but if you believe in yourself, nothing can stop you. I mean it.

These girls are my sisters. (I'm in the middle)

This is my best friend.

So yeah.
