<prompt> Human: Update : I woke up this morning to a flurry of responses. I am taking my time to carefully read through and consider each piece of advice. People have suggested reconciling with my parents. I will wait for a week or so for things to calm down, and simultaneously show that I can be a responsible adult through my actions. Thank you all for the amazing responses. This thread has been as much a source of comfort as it has been a great resource.Hey everyone. Using my throwaway account because I dont want to be recognised by potential peers. I am an 18 year old student from Hong Kong. Because of plagiarism, I will not graduate from High School. My parents, and rightfully so, have decided to kick me out of the house in six months time. I am at a loss and completely regret my actions, but am ready to do whatever it takes to get myself back on track. Ive got a few questions. 1. How do I find a job? I have no qualifications except for a high school education of which I did not graduate, so Im referring to low-pay jobs like janitorial work perhaps.2. Where can I find a place to live? This isnt a plea for someone to take me in. Rather, does anyone know of a way to acquire cheap shelter.3. How am I supposed to set up a bank account, manage money etc. My school never offered a course that gave advice on how to handle money. I know as much about this as a 12 year old would.I understand that some of the questions I have posted may have answers online. I will be doing my own research whilst waiting for replies on this thread. Additionally, the position I am in isnt the most common, so I thought it would be a better idea to post it on a forum like reddit where I could explain my circumstance.I am not asking for pity, I deserve these consequences and understand I have to live with them. Rather, I am looking to get on my feet.Thank you so much for any responsesEdit : I refrained from stating the type of education Id received, as I did not want to provide another opportunity to be identified. However, enough kind people have suggested looking for a transfer. I am not in a position to transfer schools because I received a private school education, and thus a transfer would mean having the financial means necessary to pay for the education. On another note, posting this thread has been a great decision. Ive just been feeling lost for the whole day, but the advice given has shown that with enough work I can get back on my feet. Thank you so much everyone.Edit 2 : Its getting quite late where I live. Ill make sure to read all the responses when I wake up tomorrow. Once again, I am extremely grateful for everyones help.Assistant: For a lot of low skill jobs you literally show up to a low-skill job site and ask to talk to the manager. You tell him or her that youre looking to work and ask if you can help. Its literally that easy. Thats at places like movie theaters, construction sites, grocery stores, or restaurants.It helps to be upfront about how much youre looking to work 20406080 hours per week. It helps if youve had a job before, or a reference. You should be upfront that youre in a tough situation and you dont want to talk about it much. You may want to clarify it has nothing to do with drugs if anyone gets suspicious; your parents are just not letting you stay at home any more.Human: Thank you for the advice. To my understanding, demanding less hours a week nets you a higher chance of getting hired, right? I think for now I will try to ask for something like 60 hours a week.  <response>: 60 hours a week is far too high when your priorities are in settling your education. I am certain you can arrange for a transfer to a public school or take a GED test. Do not let this one mistake change your life- focus on graduating through any means necessary and only work as much as you need to pay rent.
