It's my birthday soon...I'm going to be seventeen. That means I have one year until I'm gone.
For the longest time I was planning on going to NYC to live by myself...And my best friend would probably come a year or so later...But as I look at it...I realize I can't. It's too expensive for a girl who's not going to college and going to try to make ends meet with no help from anyone. But I have to get away from here, I live in California now...And I have to go somewhere far far away.
I just don't know where. Does anyone have any ideas where a good place for an unskilled teen to live and make it? I know, go to college...Whatever. NO. Please don't tell me I'm stupid for leaving...Don't tell me to stay with my family...And PLEASE don't tell me to go to college. I just want cities..Towns...Whatever. Some place that doesn't close at dusk and offers some possibility at life other than sitting in that little Hell hole forever.
X's and O's

I would go to another country, a place where no one knows you.

To be honest, the South, such as Arkansas, Louisiana, that area is not a bad place to live.

I like it here in Illinois. If i had to live anywhere else it probably would be canada. I love it up there. But i want a home on a lake miles away from a small town like Chapleau. But untill them, me n my friends are getting an apartment. lol

I've got the same problem, I'm planning to go to NYU, but now it just seems a little out of my reach. When I get older, I'm most likely moving to England, Italy, or France. So one of those places might be good! :]]

Texas! Duh we got it all. u like snow dallas and up in winter but if you like the beach (like me) South Padre.

hmmm... i would say find a city that's developed, but is still growing. like huntsville alabama. i used to live there. they're gettin new restaurants and stores all the time, so there's plenty of work and the cost of living is pretty low compared to bigger citys.
