<prompt> Human: Hello, I am 17 years old. My parents have stated that they are 100 going to kick me out of the house, I do not know when. I have no money and I dont think I have any relatives I can turn to. I have been accepted into UMDs engineering school and am eligible for in-state tuition. My FAFSA will not qualify because my parents make too much money. I do not even have my learners permit. Am I now homeless?  <response>: from a fellow queer kid with unaccepting parents, Im so so sorry this happened. Its overwhelming and the financial aspect just adds to the anxiety. Sending you love. I had a different situation, but learning from some of my friends whose parents stopped financially supporting them after hearing they were gay:1 definitely reach out to UMDs financial aid office and explain. Im not sure about UMD specifically, but the university I went to was pretty understanding.2 In the future, there are some scholarships for LGBT folks such as Their application just closed, but I think there are others.3 If you are able to reach out to queer support groups UMDs LGBT center, other local Maryland hotlines, legal support groups, mental health groups - a quick search pulls up a lot. Solve the most urgent problems finances, housing first to know that you will be ok regardless of what happens with your family. Its easier to navigate emotional conversations if you know you have support elsewhere. Reach out to as many people as you feel safe doing so. Wishing you the absolute best. There are other folks out there whove navigated this and people will help you out.
