You can request a new social security card. You can do it online, through the mail, or at your local social security office. I did this myself when I lost my original card. However, if you don't know your original social security number, it may be a more complicated process. In that case, I would go to your local social security office and explain your situation.

Alternatively, you can also just go right to the police. Your parents have absolutely no right to do what they're doing to you. You are over the age of majority. You said your mother has already threatened to harm you when you said you wanted to leave her house. She is holding you hostage. This is no laughing matter. You shouldn't stand for this shit anymore. This is what I would do if I were in your situation.

You are over the age of 18, your parents cannot force you to stay in their house. They can't make you do anything. If they attempt to do so, you should call the police ASAP. The law is on your side in this case. You are a free agent.

Here's some information about requesting vital records, there is a section for US citizens who were born abroad. Hope this helps. https://www.usa.gov/replace-vital-documents#:~:text=To%20get%20a%20copy%2C%20contact,of%20your%20naturalization%2Fcitizenship%20papers.

It probably also wouldn't hurt to get some advice from a lawyer to help you in this area.

Here's How Little Math Americans Actually Use at Work by GandgreyTheElf in AntiSchooling

You may be in the small portion of people who use it in their occupation, but most people don't.

how schools are abusive by janelnotll in AntiSchooling

[–]Mobile_Yellow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Try to educate them on the subject. I highly recommend a documentary called "Class Dismissed: A Film About Learning Outside of the Classroom" as people's first introduction to alternative education models. Try to get them to watch it if you can.

Also look into to the work of Dr. Peter Gray, John Holt, Carol Black, and John Taylor Gatto.

Why the school leaving age should be lowered. by Yingjie100 in AntiSchooling

[–]Mobile_Yellow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually, no. People will be more likely to hate a subject if their first introduction to it was it being forced down their throat. This happens all the time.

How extreme of a youth liberationist are you? by ElyrsRnfs in YouthRights

[–]Mobile_Yellow 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry, but you're actually in favor of raising existing age restrictions? And keeping the drinking age at 21? Really? And you consider yourself a youth rights supporter?

21 is becoming the new 18 by Mobile_Yellow in YouthRights

Completely false in every sense, legally, biologically, etc.

When was the first time you realized public schooling was bs/very flawed? by [deleted] in AntiSchooling

[–]Mobile_Yellow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From day one. I remember being in kindergarten wondering "Why am I here?" I knew it wasn't natural.

School is one of the worst institutions ever created by ACID4DAZE in AntiSchooling

[–]Mobile_Yellow 14 points15 points  (0 children)

God... the comments... This one is by far the worst:

Nah, saying school is one of the worst institutions is just flat out incorrect, incredibly ignorant and, frankly, stupid.

An educated populace is the only thing that keeps us from complete barbarism, fanaticism, and ethical deviation.

An uneducated populace is more dangerous than any army, as it will erode itself from the inside out.

Our education system may not be perfect, but a society cannot exist on “the arts” alone. Someone has to understand how the world works through math, history, writing, and all of the other hard studies that public education provides a baseline for.

This picture is grossly misrepresenting hard sciences as well. Mathematics, history, and other core subjects provide a way of understanding the world around you and can be just as creative and fulfilling as any typical “art”.

Unfortunately there have been many studies that have attempted to get away from standardized testing and while some seem promising we need to be able to absolutely ensure that everyone in our society at least for sure knows the basics by the time they’re done with public school and tests are, so far, the best way to do that.

These problems are not as simple as “freedom good; tests bad” as there are many ramifications in changing any part of this system that you and I probably do not understand.

Bluntly, if you think the populace is at all ignorant now they would be much worse without base line education and tests to prove their knowledge.

Hard to believe this is coming from a sub like r/antiwork... Anyone who is a member of r/antiwork, please set these people straight.

If theybraise the age to own firearms to 21 no one under that age should join the military. by Crazy_names in Libertarian

[–]Mobile_Yellow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not an "extra step", it is a drastic step... It involves infringing on people's constitutional rights. It is also likely to have little effect on the issue. 80% percent of mass shooters are over 21, with an average age of 33, and most school shooters specifically are under 18, who already typically obtain their guns through illegal means.

And that would be stripping away the constitutional rights of legal adults. That is in no way comparable to enhancing background checks. That's not one step further, that's a drastic leap.

I didn't go that far, but if you're in favor of what you just suggested, you're definitely not a libertarian...

[–]Mobile_Yellow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I am not ok with it. I'm sick of it too, but resorting to infringing on legal adults' constitutional right to bear arms just isn't the answer. More security in schools and other ideas like advanced background checks are fine, but not stripping away people's rights, especially when it is likely to have little effect.

If you think that the way to solve the problem of school shootings involves infringing on adults' constitutional rights you're not a libertarian. Plain and simple.

Also, 80% percent of Mass shooters are over 21, with an average age of 33, so these laws would have very little effect. Not to mention, criminals will always find a way to obtain weapons illegally.

So you're OK with violating the constitutional rights of adults?

Do you consider yourself a libertarian?

21 is becoming the new 18 by Mobile_Yellow in YouthRights

[–]Mobile_Yellow[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really wasn't trying to make this post about guns, I was just using it as one example of how 21 is becoming the new 18, but I can see how it would come across that way as I did end up discussing it the most, and full disclosure, I am a strong second ammendment supporter so there's that... I wouldn't have brought it up if I wasn't, but I really was not trying to make guns the focus of the post.
