So, two of my friends were kicked out of their houses a couple days ago, and my mom has agreed to let them live here if they pay 250$ a month. They are paying her 1000$ up front for 4 monthes. I know you guys don't care, but oh well, I'm telling ya'll anyway.


But to make this a topic where people can actualy respond, has anybody here ACTUALLY been kicked out, not threatened, but actually been kicked out, or had a friend that had been kicked out, and if so, what did they do?

[Caael]

What an oh so pointless topic.

[Drizzy Drake]

Not really. Alot of people know people who have been kicked out before, and I'm jsut wondering what said person did.

[Caael]

I dont know anybody who would be forcefully kicked out without somewhere to go.

Good thing this is in CR

[Golden Legacy]

Caael, don't be insulting. This is actually a serious topic - in fact, I'm moving this outside the Common Room because it deserves to be discussed. If you've never experienced it yourself, then at least have the simply decency to sympathize with or give condolences to those affected by such situations.

[Caael]

Who would literally dump somebody onto the street with nowhere to go with all their crap?

[Eugine]

Just be happy you live in a decent home. Some people don't even have homes to kick people out off >>.
You are really sheltered, and need to understand the realities of this life.
It's a betch.

[Caael]

Would you prefer us typing on an internet cafe computer just waiting for the inevitable when we run out of time and kicked back out onto the street?

[Eugine]

What are you talking about?

[Caael]

You say we're too sheltered, I suggested an alternative to being sheltered.

ALOT of parents. I know quiet a few people who have been kicked out before.

[Eugine]

When you understand figurative language, come talk to me again.

[Golden Legacy]

Caael, I don't know if you're being insensitive about the topic at hand purposefully or unintentionally, but at any rate, quit it. I will warn you if you continue to attack the issue.

[Caael]

I dont know what Eugine is getting at. I was saying how would he prefer us; being sheltered or living on the streets?

How was I being insensetive? I was saying that I dont know anybody who has been kicked out, and I wouldn't think people would actually kick somebody out of their house onto the street. That's insensetive, not my posts.

Well I'm sorry I didn't quiet understand your point, but you don't have to be rude about it. Alot of kids get kicked out, and sometiems it isn't their fault. My friend kept having panic attacks at school, and his parents wouldn't let him stay home and do correspondence, so they kicked him out because he didn't got to school.

[Eugine]

Oh alright. So you really don't understand figurative language ;_;

When I said sheltered I don't mean litterally having a roof on your shoulder. I meant you obviously do not recognise the hardships of this world. There are so many people who do not have homes, food or clothing, do not have proper parents, and this isn't only in LEDC, but in developed countries, which includes the UK, and entails all races and cultures.

*sigh*, I'm too lazy to type out a long paragraph x.x

And that was for Caael, not you Skidz.

[Caael]

Ah, I missed the point, I thought you meant literally sheltered.

No, I do, but, oh nvm.

But ya, you are right. Places like Canada and America have MILLIONS who don't have houses, and my two friends are an example of that.

[Caael]

My cousin used to live with her bf, but since she broke up with him, she's moved in with us, but it was her choice to move out from her bf, so she wasn't forcefully kicked out.

[Drizzy Drake]

Hmm, interesting. Alot of times when people 18 and younger get kicked out, it doesn't last, and they are ussually home within a couple weeks, even days, but with TJ, he hasn't been home for 3 weeks, and doesn't plan on gonig home, seeing as my mom is letting him do correspondence, and his parents are ****s. Erika got kicked out because her parents jsut don't get along with her, and they said she was too much troubel.

[Caael]

It's quite sad to see people treated this way, i'm not encouraging it in anyway or trying to be insulting, but if they knew they wouldn't cope with a kid, why did they not get an abortion? If a kid is too much trouble then what was the point?

[Drizzy Drake]

My point exactly. Now, I am happy they had them, because they are very good friends, but NOBODY, no matter what they do, should have to live on the streets. Even KILLERS, get a bed and food, but a 17 year old can't. That's ****ed up. Excuse my french.

[Eugine]

Who are the two people who got kicked out? "Erika" and "TJ"? What exactly did they do? Your previous post doesn't really shed light on the situation.

Oh, and Caael, sorry for being an ass x3. I thought you were just being sarcastic so I replied harshly, cuz I think this is a serious issue.

[Drizzy Drake]

Oh ok. Um ya.

TJ had been having panic attacks at school, and decided that doing correspondence for the second term would be best, but his parents said that he couldn't do correspondence. He went to school, told then he wouldn't be back, and his parents kicked him out.

Erika, well, her parents just think she's too much to handle, and they jsut never get along.

But ya, they have alreayd paid my mom 1000$, and are setting stuff up in my basement right now.

EDIT-Um, how did I get two posts, insted of a merged one?

[Caael]

It doesn't merge automatically, it's probably when you accidentally clicked the post button twice or something.

I have no idea how long my cousin is staying and what she'll do when she leaves. Her parents live in Brighton and her Uni is up here in Reading which is about a 3 hour drive from Brighton to here, while it's a 20 minute drive from our house to her Uni.

[Drizzy Drake]

What is a Uni? University?


But ya, atleast my friends have a place for the next 4 monthes and probably more.

My one friend, his dad beats him ALOT, and whenever he runs away, his parents call the cops. He doesn't want to tell CAS or the cops that his dad beats him, but he needs a way out, but they never kick him out, no matter what he tries. It's a little opesite of most people, wanting to get kicked out and all, but it kind of fits in.

[Caael]

Wtf it merged that time but not before.

Yeah, Uni is shorthand for University.

I tried it on purpose this time, just to see, and ya, it merged.

And ok, thanks.

Why doesn't he want to tell the cops? That doesn't make any sense.

[Drizzy Drake]

It's hard to explain. He deep down jsut doesn't want to get his dad in trouble. Now, if it was me, I would surely call the cops, but I can see where he's coming from.

[Caael]

Eugine was right, I am too sheltered. I had no idea these sort of cases were going on in the world.

[Drizzy Drake]

Before I make a statement, I would like to ask if that was sarcasm?

[Caael]

It wasn't, I was genuinely shocked while reading your earlier post.

[Drizzy Drake]

Oh, ok. I thought it was common knowledge that things like this happen everyday.

Last christmas, my sister was vacationing in australia cause she had a break from school in nz, and she was staying at her friends house when her friend decided she didn't want my sister there anymore, so the family kicked her out. My sister had been paying them rent for the two weeks she was planning to be there, and they demanded all of it even though they kicked her out after one week. My sister had no money because she's a fricken uni student, and since it was australia she knew absolutely no one and had no where to go. The fun part? this was her first christmas away from home and they kicked her out on christmas eve. She found a hostel and had to work there to get enough money to stay, which means she was making no profit, which was the reason she came to aus in the first place.

I swear if I ever meet the girl that did that to her...bad things will happen. Well as bad as I can muster

Anyways it was just horrible to have her calling on christmas eve sobbing and afraid. Gah I'm all riled now just thinking about it.

[Ironsight]

Some friend(sp). What happened after that? They aren't still fiends(sp) are they?

Some people do, and this is the place to discuss, so take your rude bullsh*t elsewhere.

Anyway, my brother and his girlfriend recently let another couple move in with them though it only lasted a few days. They were both unhelpful around the house, and generally disrespectful and unclean. Good riddance really, either you pay your way or f*ck off.

[Caael]

I'm really not trying to be offensive, I genuinely didn't realise things like this happen in the world today.

What kind of place do you live in? Around here getting kicked out is VERY rare. I've never even heard anyone getting kicked out. Except for MAYBE one person, and that was a rumor.

But what exactly did your friends do to get kicked out?

[TheEnglishman]

Thankfully, no one I know's been kicked out of their house. You'd have to be pretty cruel to do that to your kids.
