I was made homeless at 16 after my mum kicked me out. I'm not 24 with a University degree and a good full time job in my field I got my degree in. Ask me anything.

How did you manage on your own? Like did you stay with friends or something like that? Did you find it hard to adjust to being grown up at 16?

So I originally stayed with a friend but I started renting a 1 bed flat at 17 and basically just used my entire pay check for rent and like ramen haha

congrats, what field did you get into and how did you decide on that field?

how long did it take you to bounce back from getting kicked out so that you could get into university?

I got into podiatry and I finished high school at 18 and then got into uni, dropped out after 1 year, reapplied and then graduated last summer

Are you in a place where you want to rub it in her face, or do you consider it an important motivating factor in your life, or something else entirely?

I haven't spoke to her since the night I was kicked out. Haven't even seen her so
