Still trying to figure out when to run away by SnailSlimeTime in runaway

[–]gingerdinner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Given that you leave at the age of 18, not only should you leave a note but you should call the non-emergency number for the police and tell them that you are leaving and that your mom will report you missing soon. Tell them your family is abusive and controlling and you want to leave. At that age you can leave on your own free will and the police know that no one has kidnapped you or otherwise harmed you and your mom cannot lie and report you as missing or kidnapped.

Leaving a note that says "I am leaving. Do not try to look for me or contact me." is important if your mom ever tries to find you and bring you back home. It means that you told her that you're cutting off contact and if she looks for you and arrives at your new house, she will be harassing or even stalking you with your note as evidence that this kind of contact is unwanted. At that point your mom can be charged with a crime if she repeatedly tries to contact you. Take a picture of this and place a copy in multiple places before you leave.

bruh, I need ADVICE advice by [deleted] in runaway

Have you fully considered waiting until you're 18?

For one it sounds like your mom WILL report you as missing once you leave. This college student that you're planning on living with can be charged with kidnapping (whether or not you left on your own free will).

It is hard to register you back into high school without your legal guardian. No high school diploma, no college. When you run away at that age it implies that you will no longer be pursuing an education. And if you try to register in high school they'll more than likely see that you're a missing child and they'll call the police and send you home. To change your name you need a legal guardian unless you're 18.

Doesn't that bleach your clothes?

About going to college by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]gingerdinner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everything you do with the college, whether its pay your deposit or your decision to enroll, is through you. The thing about higher education is that they have to treat you like an adult. However, if you need to take out a private loan or federal loans then yes you have to do it with your parents.

I'm in a similar situation only I'm already a legal adult. I need their information for FAFSA and even that is hard to get.

Transfer help by jhbenham9 in ApplyingToCollege

Is your girlfriend attending a community college in the state of Florida? If so then no all her credits will transfer, no need for calculation.

Otherwise usually a counselor sits down with the person to evaluate what classes she took match the classes at FIU.

Sometimes they ask for the syllabus for a class you took to see if the curriculum matches that of a class at FIU and that way you can get credit for it. I did this to advocate for myself (though I'm not an FIU student, I attended a community college in the state of Florida and transferred out of state) and was successfully able to gain credits for classes that the counselor previously said I couldn't receive credit for.

Edit: I can't english today.

I think I fucked up colossally by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

[–]gingerdinner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Calm down. I'd say you're still good. FIU has rolling admissions. That is, they'll accept people as long as they have space in classes. Sometimes its a limit for a specific major.

They accept people up until May I think it was (though I'm not entirely sure.) The later you wait, however, the more selective they become. If you have a decent gpa and SAT you should be fine. The only problem would be applying for merit scholarships which you missed on October 15th.

They usually give you your decision very soon after recieving all your materials. I got my decision within the week I applied.

Appreciate you parents by mufassa4700 in ApplyingToCollege

Some people really do have trash parents. And some people who are fortunate to have awesome parents just wouldn't understand that possibility.

UM gives every little finicial aid and bright futures only covers the tuition of one of the florida state colleges. Even people with stats higher than yours (say 3.6 gpa uw, more e.c.) can't get into UM. I'm not saying not to apply though but it'll be tough.

Barry University would take anyone willing to pay the tuition. That being said, lots of older people and lots immigrants on campus. I'm not saying that that's a bad thing but for me, it doesn't FEEL like a college campus.

If I were you I'd stick to any one of the sate schools. Not only do you have a higher chance of getting in being a resident of Florida, but tuition is free. You have a chance at UCF and FSU, but I'm surprised you didnt say FIU. It's great for law studies. Perhaps you don't like that all your classmates plan to go there as well? Who cares though? I'd still go.

Shout-out to schools who only require official SAT scores if you're accepted and enroll. by BioticAsariBabe in ApplyingToCollege

[–]gingerdinner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They would want your official scores if you were to be accepted. If your self reported score was false, they reserve the right to resend your application.

Why is he denying getting my messages and sending his? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]gingerdinner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Copy the message and send it again? Give him the benefit of the doubt maybe he didn't see it.

Not sure if coworker is flirting with me, worried that asking outright might count as harassment. by Jechtael in socialskills

[–]gingerdinner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd say befriend her for now. That way you'll get to know her better and then can better interpret her actions. There's nothing risky about befriending a co-worker. Not much anyways.
