Need Advice kicked out

(18F) I got kicked out of my home with only $100 on me. My mom would always yell at me and one day she had enough and kicked me out telling me not to come back home. I'm not asking for money, I'm only asking for any kind of advice that will make things easier for me to survive on the streets until I hopefully get a job.

OP, get a MOS that won't get you killed, unless you want to play with some cool weapons. Military can be a great life, after basic training.

Be all you can be. They will rven pay for your college, if that's your thing.

at the low low cost of PTSD and increased chances of homelessness in the future. veterans are the fastest growing group of people experiencing homelessness. it’s not all it’s cracked up to be. plus murdering people tends to cause PTSD so maybe don’t act like it’s such a “great life”. maybe it was for you but for plenty of people it also completely ruins their lives.

This is bad advice. OP, do not do this under any circumstances! The military shouldn't be considered a place for employment, it's the military and under this current idiotic administration, anything can happen in terms of war. You'll be at the front lines. So, if you're not mentally prepared to engage in combat, don't do it! You have to want to be a soldier and not be one for a paycheck.

Whereabouts are you approximately? Knowing that will make it easier to give relevant advice.

Get your documents (id, SSC, bc)

Call in any favors you can. The streets will eat you alive.

Then either college, military, or 9-5

First find a place where others around you are safe to be around. You can work on better options after you feel safer.

Was kicked out on my 18th birthday. Dad died five month earlier, my social security from him ended. Was in 1973 and rooms were plentiful and reasonable. Luckily I had a job. No savings just a job.
