Is there anywhere a 16-year-old could stay overnight?

Lyra

a hostel?

I'm sorry, why can you not stay with your parents?

XB'sFresh

Nick

Depending on where you live, there may be a homeless shelter. I live in the middle of NH and I know there's one an hour away, so there's probably one in a bigger city near you also.

Why can't you stay with your parents? You're obviously on a computer somewhere writing this question. You need to find relatives or stay where you are.

Dat girl

why not at home?
uhm well.you can always sleep in your car or someones car.lol
thats not a good idea but w/e.
i guess you can go to a homeless shelter for the night.

1'm A s3cret NiNjA!! shh!!!

Camp outside

a relatives house another firend. i mean you dont' say why

a homeless shelter for youth you could call a helpline to find one.

Child services, call police and they'll set it up.

Any other place or person would be breaking the law if your are running away from your parents for no valid reasons. Interfering with the custody of a minor it's illegal.

I f you have enough money, you can stay at a motel or hotel but I would really suggest you keep asking around people you trust.

Nicholas

The only place you can legally live at, at 16 year old, is your parents household, no where else.

And, this might be none of my buisness, but I really don't see why you wouldn't be allowed to stay with your parents.

If you really can't stay with your parents, you can always go to your uncle/aunt/grand-parents

aimeexsparkles

alternative house. that's your SAFEST bet.
i stayed at one once. they're very nice there, and you won't be in any danger.
call your local police chapter [not 911] to ask where one is near you.
i hope this helps.

Ya heard me

The YMCA. Why can't you stay with your parents? If you were near me I would hook you up for the night if you would just do the dishes, there are only about 10 of them :)

I can't imagine why you can't just go home. But I would try my friends. You can go to a motel if you have the money. Visit family if you don't have the money. Or just stay the night in a car, but it is terribly cold tonight.

Billy

I used to sleep in my car.

Aleksis

his girlfriend's house.

Hmmm... this is a tricky one. If you truly cannot go home to your parents, there are a number of teen shelter programs throughout the US. It really depends on where you live. In L.A., NY, Atlanta, Philly and more there is Covenant House; Chicago has Teen Living Programs.

Call the "9" line: 1-800-999-9999

Call them first and they will talk with you about your options, ok?

Good luck and PLEASE don't stay with strangers!

Much peace,

Since your parents are still responsible for you, tell them to give you enough money to stay at a nice hotel; or, just camp out in the yard.

wal-mart seriously 24/7

call the cops and tell them your parents will not allow you in the house. At 16 they are legal;ly bound to Support you, including giving you housing
