    They can't kick you out. If the situation is that bad, go to an agency that can help or have the counselor at your school recommend where to go. When I was around your age, I went through something similar and I ended up in foster care temporarily.

    Hang in there. I know it's hard to see it now because it's tough but things get better in the future.

    I'm using "you" in place of he/she here...

    Parents' "rights" come second to their childrens' health and welfare until the kids turn 18... They can't just change the locks and say "don't come back." If it comes down to that, they should go through legal channels, social services and whatnot, admit to authorities that they can't handle the monster they've created. They don't have to lie down and let you treat them like a doormat, but they do have to ensure your health and safety one way or another, in their house or elsewhere.

    However, the law turns against you, the minor, if they feel physically threatened by you. By no means should you use or even so much as THREATEN violence. Don't do it - it will get you in a heap of trouble.

    If you are kicked out, you need to find somewhere else to go. This would be a relative, a trusted friend, or some church- or state-run shelter. Either way, you should probably call the police, or social services and ask for help or advice. Nothing good can really come from trying to FORCE your parents to take you back - something has clearly gone wrong and they will probably resent your presence. There are ways of becoming an "emancipated minor" if you can prove you are better off on your own. But, you do have to display some competence and self-sufficiency, along with a real and valid need to go it on your own.

    Not getting along with your parents as a teenager is pretty typical, and you should understand that they don't necessarily know what they are doing. Not so long ago, you were a cute and manipulative little kid. You did as you were told, or if you didn't, you could be made to do it or be punished. Maybe they didn't notice the first time you demonstrated independant thought, but suddenly it seems you're contradicting every word they say. Now you're looking at them at eye-level, and that can be intimidating for them.

    It's best to do the get-along go-along bull$#!+ as long as you can. It really comes down to "their house, their rules" and as uncomfortable as it is, them's the breaks.

    If you can't, if it is a really bad situation, if it is truly abusive (and not merely restrictive), you will have to learn to become self-sufficient and responsible for yourself as soon as possible. Get a job if you can, but not at the expense of school. YOU WILL NEED A DEGREE. There are no two ways about that. Get through school, and do the best that you can. There really isn't a better "f***-you" than getting out and proving that you don't need them anyway.

    The answer is can they kick you out "yes". Can they get in trouble for kicking you out well that depends on what you call trouble. What will happen if they decided to kick you out at the age of 14, and you called 911 the courts will get involved and place you in a temporary group home until a court date is set to see if your home is fit for you to live in, to see if you are being abused, or to see if your parents has placed you in any danger that has caused you to have to want leave the home. So if you think that's trouble trust me it's not because they want you out, and if they kick you out and the courts get involved and you go to a temporary group then you will still be out and they win.

    The bottom line is get your **** together. Stop being a unruly dis-obedient, disrespectful child, and you would not have to worry about this. You said it yourself it's not that your home is unfit you just want to be able to bull **** your parents and get away with it. So I will tell you the same thing I tell my kids stop your **** and if your mom and/or dad still have to buy and wash your dirty *** underwear that means you are not old enough or mature enough to be the man you are acting like. You are still a little punk *** boy trying to be something your not.

    If you still decided not to listen I say let the courts have your ***, and place you in a group home. Then see who will have the last laugh you or your parents.

    Yes, it's neglect. AND you need to straighten your act up. If this is you anyway....

    What are you rebelling against? At 14 you are still a kid. Parents don't WANT to kick their kids out. I didn't even want mine to leave home when they turned 18......so you must be making some big mistakes. Be careful. The mistakes you make now can ruin you forever. I know this for a fact.

    If you feel that you know it all and you want to do things your way, why are you looking for some one to take care of you? I guess you think that you are an adult and know it all - so why not get out there and make your own money, pay your own rent, cloth your own butt.

    You have so much experience in this world, why do you want anything from your parents?

    But you way of thinking is not your fault, your parents should have torn your *** up when you were four and five then they would not have to put up with this SH*& you are rambling with.

    You still need a good *** Wipping!

    If you are rebelling that could cover a lot of territory but no 14 is too young to kick out a kid,the parents are still responsible ,maybe get professional help for them

    You would have to have your parents arrested for chlid abuse. That should make them real happy. After that you can forget about going to college because they will spend all that money on a lawyer and you will be put in a foster home. And they would win because you are still kicked out.

    your parents can't kick you out if you're 14...if they do, call 911...tell the police what happened...and they will find someone to help you

    but, know this......if you get the courts involved, and the reason you're having trouble is because you won't follow your parents rules....you may be sent to a children's home.....

    so BEHAVE yourself until you're old enough to be on your own...

    I am not entirely sure but I believe so, there are cases if your child is so bad that you have to send them to juvy or they go to boarding shool but that is all I can think of. You can get legally imancipated but not at 14

  • 1 decade ago

    Yes here in Ireland they are legally responsible for you until you are 18. Sue them for gross negligence and irreparable mental trauma!
