whats the laws where you live about obtaining a job do you need permission from your school, sorry to keep posting, seriously working was a lifesaver was an excuse not to be home other than to sleep if you fill up your day full of activities you can still stay home not have to deal and save money for to move out

the laws here in NY are that you half to be at least 16 years or olders to work, you half to have working papers and in order to have aproval for working papars(only underaged kids need working papers) you half to have a doctor or some kind of medical professinal say that your healthy enough to work.

go get yourself to a doctor that's the first step even if you don't get a job you will have your working papers for when you want to look for a job that will be one step towards starting your life

I don't know why you feel you have to move out. I would get my schooling out of the way, study hard to get good grades/perhaps scholarships for college, and spend the next year or two planning and saving so when I did move out for college, I'd have everything in place.

Working and going to school is extremely hard, especially when you're younger/in high school and you want to do your best now so you can get in whatever college program you'd like. Once you're in college, it is a little easier to schedule things so you can work a bit and also take the courses you want. Then you won't have to ask permission of anyone.
