Hey everyone. Using my throwaway account because I don't want to be recognised by potential peers.
I am an 18 year old student from Hong Kong. Because of plagiarism, I will not graduate from High School. My parents, and rightfully so, have decided to kick me out of the house in six month's time. I am at a loss and completely regret my actions, but am ready to do whatever it takes to get myself back on track. I've got a few questions.
-
How do I find a job? I have no qualifications except for a high school education (of which I did not graduate), so I'm referring to low-pay jobs like janitorial work perhaps.
-
Where can I find a place to live? This isn't a plea for someone to take me in. Rather, does anyone know of a way to acquire cheap shelter.
-
How am I supposed to set up a bank account, manage money etc. My school never offered a course that gave advice on how to handle money. I know as much about this as a 12 year old would.
I understand that some of the questions I have posted may have answers online. I will be doing my own research whilst waiting for replies on this thread. Additionally, the position I am in isn't the most common, so I thought it would be a better idea to post it on a forum like reddit where I could explain my circumstance.
I am not asking for pity, I deserve these consequences and understand I have to live with them. Rather, I am looking to get on my feet.
Thank you so much for any responses
Edit : I refrained from stating the type of education I'd received, as I did not want to provide another opportunity to be identified. However, enough kind people have suggested looking for a transfer. I am not in a position to transfer schools because I received a private school education, and thus a transfer would mean having the financial means necessary to pay for the education. On another note, posting this thread has been a great decision. I've just been feeling lost for the whole day, but the advice given has shown that with enough work I can get back on my feet. Thank you so much everyone.
Edit 2 : It's getting quite late where I live. I'll make sure to read all the responses when I wake up tomorrow. Once again, I am extremely grateful for everyone's help.
