Re: Hello Iam 17 years old going

Hi,

It sounds like you are going through a really difficult situation. But it is important for you to know what you are not alone, there are people and services that can help you.

First of all, if you are having problems at home and you want to talk to someone, you can talk to an adult at your school (like a teacher or guidance counselor). You can also call Kids Help Phone at 1-888-668-6868. They have experience dealing with similar issues and can provide you with advice.

If you do decide to move out, you can find information here about locating a youth shelter.

If you would like to apply for Student Welfare, you need to first get assessed to see if you qualify. You can do this at your nearest Ontario Work office. Simply provide them with your address, and they will find the closest office. 

I hope your situation gets better soon. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.
