I was pushed out of 'home' by my mother when I was 14 and was unable to complete my senior year. After two years of working to support myself and pay rent on an apt (my best friend's mom verified I was "supposedly" 18), I just could no longer make it to school on time and was so exhausted from working 2 jobs and trying to get my schoolwork done. I got my GED the day after my class graduated.
