My best friend got kicked out after she came out to her parents, and I can't even fucking take her in because my parents are reprehensible, homophobic assholes. If it weren't for my little brother and sister, who I generally try to shield from my parents, I would have left and gone with her.

Last time I talked to her was yesterday afternoon. She said she was checking out a place she thought she might be able to stay at for a while. She only had a bit of money and whatever she could stuff in a bag and I'm seriously freaking out.

Sorry, but I had to get this off my chest. I don't know what to do. I don't know what I *can* do. I feel so fucking USELESS.

ugh well that's awful. is there anyone else you can talk to about taking her in? a mutual friend maybe?

We have a mutual friend, but she's spending the first half of the summer in Guyana with her dad. :(

It's always been just us three loners, basically. My friend doesn't have any other family (just her fucking parents), and all my siblings live at home. I'm desperately trying to think of anyone right now, but those two are the only ones I actually talk to.

Hell, if I got kicked out right now I wouldn't even know where *I* would go.

seconding what others have said about looking for a youth shelter. i'm not sure what area your friend is in though. you mentioned downthread she is in NJ, here are some shelters i found in the state:

http://www.sjworks.org/view/group/626
http://www.morrishumanservices.org/youth/
http://www.ranchhope.org/Programs/AlternativeYouthShelter.asp

iiii don't know what else i can do to help but this stuff drives me nuts. i live nowhere near NJ.

if your friend needs money to get to a shelter though i'd be happy to pitch in through paypal or something.

I'm so sorry to hear that :( I'd say call around to people you know and try to find someone who is willing and able to take her in. And research online for ideas for what to do in these situations.

There's absolutely no one to call. I've wracked my brain for possibilities for hours, but no one is coming to mind. We pretty much just stuck to ourselves, and both of our families suck.

There's a youth shelter not too far from where I live and I would love to be able to tell her that but she hasn't been in contact with me since 1pm yesterday (it's 8pm now!) and I have no idea how to get into contact with her! I think her phone's dead or something because it's going straight to voice mail and I'm just freaking out.

She lives in NJ (I'm in NY) so it's not as if I know where she's likely to hang out, either. Whenever we hung out it was always in the city D=

Sorry for sounding so freaking whiny. I'm just so stressed out. I have no idea what to do and I'm frightened that maybe something happened to her and that's why she didn't call.

How old are you? Do you know anyone at your or her school who could help?

I'm so sorry to hear that. Are there any youth shelters or anything around your area? Mutual friends she might be able to stay with? Food shelters or soup kitchens she could at at least visit?

You've probably gone through sifting through all that information, but I really hope something works out for her.

Are there any women's shelters she can go to? Or maybe a relative? I'm so sorry that you and your friend are in such awful situations. <3

Where are you and how old is your friend? There could very well be an outreach program available to you that might help your friend out.

That's horrible. I have no advice, but I hope she'll be okay. Keeping both of you in my thoughts.
