Hi cusack,

When I was a teenager, I looked through one of those community arts education packets and found a few classes that I wanted to take! I ended up in a Chinese cooking class. It was fun, gave me something to do, and it was cheap! People of all ages can go to the classes in those community ed pamphlets. I think that I was 14 years old when I went.

If you're feeling that your home is very unsafe for you, then maybe you should start off at your county's social services department. There, you would be interviewed, they would look into your claims (with your best interest in mind) and then make whatever decisions they deem necessary.

Hope that answers your Q's on what should be done. Take care of yourself, and do what's right.
