I moved out, I need some help

    Ok before i tell you what i need help on im going to give some background info.

    I'm 18, just turned 18 back in August and I moved out September 1st because i didn't like the living situation at home. My parents didn't approve of this AT ALL. when i did move out i had a few garbage bags packed for me when i came back to get some things.. they wouldn't let me in to pack for myself. I have a weeks supply of clothes. I wear the same thing over and over (clean of course) because my parents didn't give me everything. MOST of my clothes I paid for, and i have a bunch of other things i want, like stuff from friends, and things i've made.

    Shouldn't i have the right to get all the things i paid for? Shouldn't i have the right to get the stuff friends gave to me and things i've made?

    I also want some advice on something else.. I want to be an elementary teacher. I used to cut back in 9th grade and the school found out. i don' t know if it was on my permanent record but my parents are saying they are going to tell the lawyer that and it will be in public view.( there trying to guilt me, blackmail, and what not to make me move back in)

    since i did something like that, that happened 4 years ago.. (im a freshman in college) then will it hurt my chances of become a teacher?

    I really want some people who have studied law or know some things about law. and im open for opinions to.. just make sure you post it as an opinion so i know which ones i can actually base the law off of, and what ones are your alls opinion on what i should do.

    Hmmm... I personally wonder why your parents are so angry, but regardless, they cannot prevent you from taking your belongings, you should have went with an officer to collect your things if it was that bad. Why do your parents have a lawyer?

    Hey,

    The cutting back in 9th grade won't be on your permenant record, neither will moving out. They're just trying to scare you.

    You will do great as a teacher, and all this will not hinder you at all. Go for it girl!

    Finally, you are entitled to everything you have paid for providing you can show proof of this. Even then, just let your parents know. I'm sure the situation is much more complicated than that, but in short, you own it, it's yours, them keeping it from you is effectively theft.

    Best of luck in the future, I know moving out is hard.

    Since it was back in 9th grade and you are now an adult... the law will laugh at your parents or anyone else that even tries to file a complaint.

    There is nothing that they can do about you cutting school as a young minor. Besides, where I live, when my son cut school, I was the one held responsible because I am the parent and he was a minor.

    I've only had a bank account since i started college and i started college august 25th this year. But i have bought a bunch of clothes and items on this account.

    They are mad because i moved in with my boyfriend.. but my dad is trying to say that the lawyer can prove me unstable because i used to cut.

    They cannot keep you from getting your stuff. Take a police man to your house and they will go with you to get your stuff.

    as for your parnents they are trying to scare you. don't let them do that to you.

    Well, after a few emails of back and forth. My father told me i am now dead to him. And my mom said that whatever stuff i left there oh well. My fiance and I are trying to figure a way to talk to the people who are involved with the law on his side, then were going to the authorities, after finding out what really we can do.
