First off I graduated H.S about 3 months ago, and I am having so much trouble trying to find a Job with this Economy, it doesn't help much either that my dad has threatened to kick me out of the house if I do not pay him my monthly rent which has been placed on me the moment I turned 18. Since I am having trouble finding a Job, without a car, and without means I do not know what to do. Any of you guys have suggestions, it has been twice now that he has threatened to call the police on me to tell them to kick me out if I don't come up with rent. We all know how difficult it is for our situation, but I feel an extra weight just because I am in the situation I am in and I am faced with internal dilemmas such as this one.
~Sincerely worried.

wow...that is really cruel of your dad. he should know your situations well enough to know what you are capable and incapable of doing.

I'm so sorry hun, that was quite harsh of him. How could he treat you like this? Does he know you're situation completely? Maybe there's a way you could talk to him....like promise to pay him once you're allowed to have a job? Fathers are supposed to protect their daughters, especially when she's troubled. If he knows your situtation, he might understand.

I'm a boy by the way, lol and yes he knows my situation(he's also in that situation), he's just too demanding, and never keeps his word, and he's pressuring me a good chunk of the time. I told him when I could, I would leave his house, and he wouldn't have to ever worry about me since I bothered him that much.

Whoops....sorry...haha...I thought you were a girl.
Well, if he's in the same situtation, chances are that he probably won't go thru with calling the cops on you. And the police....as far as I know....will not kick you out even if he calls because it's not their job. I've had friends who try that tactic and the cops just said that unless someone is getting hurt....or dying or something.....they won't get involved. Unfortunately, you still have to get on your dad's good side. I know it's bad, but that's the only way I can see that would help. :-\

Hi, well since you dont have a car have you tried looking for jobs along bus routes or maybe something that is close enough to walk to? since the law changed in texas and your not supposed to drive without a license anyway then this might be good for you if you are in that situation....i know its hard to find jobs i lost my job too but you can try maybe even construction work since you are a boy, just keep looking theres nothing more you can do....it took about 2 months for me to get my first job interview for my first job....good luck

Was that really necessary? The guy comes here for advice, not judgement. Caesar I suggest you go on craigslist, at least you could get an odd job here and there. As for the situation at home... maybe move in with a friend?

No I am not lazy! I have helped my dad for quite a long time, in fact I help him because he works independently and he needs me to interpret for him. As a matter of fact not that it worries you, but two months ago we had a job where he charged $1,600.00, we spent $759.00 or about there on material, my mother and I agreed it would be fair that the profit be split in half, I had to carry 50 bags that weighed 80 pounds not once but three times, loading, unloading, and then putting them inside the concrete mixer, and guess what I only got a miserable $120.00 for that. Not to mention I helped him do other things. I mean that annoyed me and it pssd me off! Then he justifies himself by saying that based on living expenses that's all I earned! Before that we had another job, I did most of the dirty work and never made more that $100.00, he still justified himself with charging me living expenses, in a period of two months he charged me for 4 different water bills. I think I can complain, before you say someone is lazy I suggest you ask more of their situation. I apologize if this sounds rude, it is not my intention, however based on my situation I feel like I am enslaved to do so many unnecessary things and that I have to confront unnecessary stresses.

Thank you for your advice DreamBaybeh, I appreciate your goodwill and advice, I will definitely look for other means to support myself in the mean time.
