<prompt> Human: Hey reddit users, my name is Gunner, im 17M and live in texas with my girlfriend and her parents, due to my mother leaving me alone in nevada, and my grandparents kicking me out, i am now living with my girlfriend, barely scraping by on about 175 a month. Ive found myself in a very shitty financial situation, considering i do not have a vehicle, and i am currently in high school, it is very hard for me to find a job, or any form of income.My questions are...Are there any programs i can take advantage of in texas?Is there any way i can get money from the government?Can i request money from my mother as child support since she left me?Basically, im screwed up to this point i have no clue what to do, and i am constantly applying for jobs, even though i have no clue how i would get to work, i still am making the effort, but no one will hire me due to my tird school hours. If you know any way that i can help myself PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO REPLY! Im in a really bad situation and i just need some advice on how i can make it a bit better.Thanks.Edit: I just found out that i wont be receiving the 175 a month any longer from my grandmother as my grandfather has told her he would leave her if she continued to assist me.Please, any advice is crucial and i REALLY APPRECIATE IT!  <response>: Yes your mom is legally required to support you until youre 18. I would suggest going to your guidance counselor. They should be able to help you.
