    Don't let her stay with you. You will be enabling her. She needs to either build bridges with her parents and go home or find her own place and pay for it herself, since she has a job. Don't let her trick you into letting her stay, there could be a very good reason for her being thrown out. She could be a thief, a junkie, associate of criminals, whatever. You don't want that on your doorstep.

    There is ALWAYS room for one more person, in times of Desperate Need. BE HER TRUE FRIEND.

    I agree with cheesecake. find out if there are any shelters or local organizations that can help her with housing and other needs. If nothing else see if she qualifies for low-income or other kind of government help.

    I wish I could take in ALL the kids who need help. A solid home makes everything else in life easier. Constantly having to move becomes the main task in life and takes so much time away from moving ahead.

    I wish I could ........

    You know I should think. I sit here, live in a 3 bedroom house on 3 acres of land and live by myself as my choice. One bedroom that has sat empty, all brand new carpet, and bedding, no one ever even laid on the bed ONCE. I think that is the reason I wonder, and yes, it does hurt I can not help kids who need a solid, happy, peaceful place to live. NOT a damn social program run place. Those just have to suck.

    You know I bet your friend would be such a privilege to have stay. I believe those who need some help often are the best people because they have better values from that tough experience.

    Be a friend and help in ways short of letting her live in your house.

    Ask other friends, homeless shelters in the area, see if she can qualify for government assistant housing. Also, maybe there's other family she can live with? Those are really her options.
