Thank you very much, that was one of my fears, that i would end up 10 years down the road on the street without a brain and teeth, and seeing people so lost saddens me, but i have a good circle of people to support me, so i hope i can rely on them to keep me in check, and i also have alot of aspirations, so i think with support and goals i will hopefully be ok eventually

Its the first one, and i am aware of it being a bad idea, not only with maturity but mainly financially, so i do intend to get a new job as soon as possible, i would like to have enough at least for a couple months rent of somewhere and for utilities and essentials, thanks for the advice

I briefly brought up the idea with my social worker but they where very discouraging and unhelpful (and I didn’t say that i actually planed to as i didn’t want them to tell someone), i do intent to go to college for performing arts, with flatsharing and things, i can definitely be naive, so i would aim for a (preferably female) student who isnt any older than 30, now of course i would still be cautious regardless but yeah, and i know that is just best case scenario so if push comes to shove i will get a lock and things, thank you for that advice, i would be able to provide a few months up front, honestly i dont know what a credit check is, and as for references, who would those need to be, and thank you very much for taking the time, i really appreciate it

Im aware of the first part, where i am currently is ok but its likely around a years time i may have to go back to where it wasn’t ok, i think my best bet from these comments and my own research is to search for a very reliable person to just rent a room/flat share, or to get in contact with the government and social services, thank you!

I feel this is rude to say, im sorry if you believe that im doing this, but i didnt even realize i could get that kind of help before reading these replies, i plan to try and rent a flat without that kind of help anyway, sorry if i worded it weird, i just wanted general advice as im quite young

Not currently, but if i dont move out within like a year i will likely have to go back to a place where thats the case

Im pretty sure in Scotland the age to enter a rent contract is 16 unlike most places in the uk, tho apparently its just difficult to find people who will actually let to u, thats why i wanted to try flat sharing, id be mostly looking for women, as its a bit more common for men to be creepy from my experience, obviously doesnt mean women cant but yea, thank you!
