<prompt> Human: I moved out of my moms house Illinois when I was 14 because my stepdad was abusive. I moved into my aunts house Oklahoma lived there for a year then got kicked out at the age 15 because they never had children and it was to Stressful for them. I was placed in a child shelter but shortly after my new found friends mom requested for a guardianship. Ive lived with them ever since and have been grateful but she had started kicking me out since before I was 18 telling me when I turned of age she was going to kick me out. So, I have a job at UPS making 11 dollars an hour, 75 extra added to the check every week, starting on January 18th. I have no friends or family I can live with here. I need to find a place to live, that is affordable obviously, I dont have transportation and I am still in highschool. I am just curious if anyone has had any similar situations and can give me any advice on how to go about starting my life, hopefully not homeless. EDIT: I am an 18 year old male currently living in Moore, Oklahoma. I said it to many times in this post, I NEVER said I was too smart for anything, I said I was too smart to pass up a FREE education. I am just trying to avoid joining the military as an enlistee. Really wish I would have spent more time on this post seeing how much attention it got. Thank you everyone for your advice and support.  <response>: Get yourself in income assistance.
