I was in amys position when I was 17. couldn’t have imagined dealing with it any younger, wow she’s so strong. i stayed with a host family for only 1 night and then went to a hostel for 4 months in that time i turned 18 and began bidding on properties. now im 19 in a few months and have my own place. worst and best thing that ever happened to me. absolutely broke me and ruined my mental health but i have healed over time and alongside it has my relationship with my mum. i don’t know where i would be right now and i don’t want to know if it hadn’t happened. My relationship with my mum was so toxic one of us would’ve ended up dead. It was terrible. Being kicked out I thought it was the worst thing that could’ve ever happened but it really was a bless in disguise and I know that I am on the right path with my mental, physical and emotional health and my relationship with my mom❤️ Amy if you’re reading this I know how alone, depressed and empty you may feel but trust me when I say everything will work out in the end. It always does. I wish you all the best and admire your strength xxx

I was born in a family of 7 children I am exactly the middle one so three younger and three older siblings, my dad when I was young had a car accident he fell asleep behind the wheel and hit the tree... Doctors have said to my mother that he is lucky to survive but they need to amputate his leg and one arm... My mom is my superhero she fought as much she could for the doctors to try to save my dad's arm and leg... Doctors recovered around 1000 pieces (including tiny ones) of metal from my dad's arms and legs... He spent years in bed recovering, one doctor was brave enough to take the challenge and eventually they save my dad's arm and leg... my mom had to take care of all of us including my dad... we sometimes had nothing to eat because the government did not provide enough help, before my dad's accident we were prosperous family... My mom never left us nor my dad, we were blessed to have such a strong, resilient mom... even though we were starving sometimes we were one family and I saw my mom crying often because she could not put anything on our plates, but usually our neighbours were bringing food for us as they knew our situation... The only reason my mom did not give up on us was because of their Faith, I know it may sound weird but Faith was her strength to carry on! I don't know how it feels to be rejected by own mother or father or both, but I know the hardship and sacrifice that may relate to this... I hope this girl is safe and happy and I hope she will go through life happy and find peace. I just wrote this comment when I only watched 1:41 of it... so I don't know the whole story yet but I just wanted to share my story... Whoever is struggling I think I know your pain, and I know it is hard, but hold on, and hope for the better days!

@@jazdavidx I'm calling bullcrap on that.

You would be surprised how some people can really change big time with the right help,like God! In the eyes of God, we're all wicked and fall short of his Glory and we are all sinner's. Not 1 single person on this planet is good or doesn't sin or disobey God. So be easy on her because God died on the cross to forgive us of our sins so that we wouldn't have to go burn in hell for eternity because we're so evil and wicked. Everyone always says, oh well they're or he/she is a really great person with a good heart. According to God,no, we're not!!! We can be if we live a life obeying his laws and teachings though and live Christ like! GOD says the path is narrow and most won't make it into HEAVEN. If that doesn't tell you alot then I don't know what will.

Myself and my friends helped her to no end, we would feed her and give her everything she needed when we were in the same situation. She lied to all of us and stole from all of us.

Are you having a laugh? It's very rare in the UK for a 16 year old to be in employment as work placements require qualifications from college. Also the pay at 16 is half the minimum wage and the wages would never cover your rent.

[@josefinstoltwestling9752]

Of course she should be in education and it should be her main focus.. Working weekends or evenings would help her for when she finishes education though.. You don’t need qualifications for a lot of jobs.

[@agnieszkakosowska5504]

The system in the U.K. is very broken. Teenager are encouraged to become estranged from their parents. This is extremely damaging with long term consequences. She left home voluntary and instead of looking into the situation, authorities are placing her in a temporary accommodation. We don’t hear the full story about what prompted her to leave home. We don’t know the other side of the story. In the U.K. 16 years old is allowed to leave home and either police or authorities won’t do anything about it if she doesn’t want to go back home.
