Is it possible for a thirteen year old to go live alone in a house somewhere without any support and still stay alive?

These days my mom is pissing me off. Well, actually, she's ALWAYS pissing me off. And she hates me and I hate her so yeah. Can a thirteen year old live alone without any support?

Not unless you either have a good paying job, or are independently wealthy ... think it through.

How are you going to get food?
What if you need medical attention?
Who's going to pay your bills?

No. Think about who bought you everything you own. Think you can support yourself with the maybe ten minimum wage jobs available to you?

Alright I'll give you some help. Wait till around April, if you can. Stockpile any extra money, food, clothes, etc. find a day where you won't be missed right away, maybe on the way to school, while your parent(s) are gone, etc. find a mall, or a large retail store. DO NOT BUY ANYTHING for as long as you have food. Try to stay in and sleep the night inside there as long as you can. Every week or two, you'll have to find a new place. You have to be 18 to rent /own your own space, so don't even try. Ration your food, and only when it's all gone do you turn to money. Buy only cheap, high nutrient food, and don't waste money on name brand stuff. Find the most for the least, if you know what I mean. After a while, there may be people looking for you, so start to make your way away from you home town area. Buses and other public transportation only, don't trust private vehicles. You may need to resort to stealing, so possibly look into buying a knife. Keep at this for a while. Don't trust anyone, and keep a low profile. I really hope you don't go through with this plan, but if you do, good luck

Nope. How can you hate your mom? And has she verbally told you she hates you, or do you just assume that?

I did not just "assume" that. And no she did not say the exact words but she DID say: "How are you so stupid." or once when I did the chore the wrong way she said: "You do it again and I'm going to kill you." and sometimes she gets so mad and she says: "Shut up before I chop your (mouth,arms,legs,etc) off

Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry about that! I'll be praying for you very much. Is there anyone else you can turn to? Another family member? A friend? Or have you tried to talk to her about the pain that you go through?

I'm sort of a little shy to really tell anyone else...This is online and you guys don't really know me so I feel a little more comfortable.

Yeah if you can get emancipated it's possible. But then again there would be the matter of money. Unless you are independently wealthy, you would need a stable source of income.

Common kid what the hell is wrong with you? Show some respect to you're mother. She made you and it doesn't matter how mad you get at her it doesn't give you the right to tell all of us that you hate her. Think before you say things. If things aren't going well at home talk to someone you can trust, preferably an adult so they can knock some sense into you. Whatever you're problem is im sure it can be fixed

What do you mean? -,- It's been like this for the last EIGHT YEARS ever since I'm old enough to do work.

I'd prefer not to say it in public.

Then don't tell me ok but tell another adult person you can trust. Trust me kid if you give it you're all the relationship with your mom can be saved. Hate will only eat you alive and you'll never be happy. Get some professional help and talk with a counselor that can be you and you're moms mediator.
