I want to live by myself when I move out of my parent's place but I'm really afraid of money problems? I'm afraid that the only place I can afford will be in the ghetto and it'll all be torn apart and I'll only be allowed to eat one granola bar a week. I'm really stressing out about this. I don't know anything about after school life. I don't know anything about paying bills or how to buy an apartment and it's really scaring me. is there anything you know that can help me?

Once you’ve looked over all those cool links, I have some general advice for you on how you can have some sort of support system going for you:

Reasons to move out of home

You may decide to leave home for many different reasons, including:

wishing to live independently

location difficulties – for example, the need to move closer to university

conflict with your parents

being asked to leave by your parents.

Issues to consider when moving out of home

It’s common to be a little unsure when you make a decision like leaving home. You may choose to move, but find that you face problems you didn’t anticipate, such as:

Unreadiness – you may find you are not quite ready to handle all the responsibilities.

Money worries – bills including rent, utilities like gas and electricity and the cost of groceries may catch you by surprise, especially if you are used to your parents providing for everything. Debt may become an issue.

Flatmate problems – issues such as paying bills on time, sharing housework equally, friends who never pay board, but stay anyway, and lifestyle incompatibilities (such as a non-drug-user flatting with a drug user) may result in hostilities and arguments.

Your parents may be worried

Think about how your parents may be feeling and talk with them if they are worried about you. Most parents want their children to be happy and independent, but they might be concerned about a lot of different things. For example:

They may worry that you are not ready.

They may be sad because they will miss you.

They may think you shouldn’t leave home until you are married or have bought a house.

They may be concerned about the people you have chosen to live with.

Reassure your parents that you will keep in touch and visit regularly. Try to leave on a positive note. Hopefully, they are happy about your plans and support your decision.

Tips for a successful move

Tips include:

Don’t make a rash decision – consider the situation carefully. Are you ready to live independently? Do you make enough money to support yourself? Are you moving out for the right reasons?

Draw up a realistic budget – don’t forget to include ‘hidden’ expenses such as the property’s security deposit or bond (usually four weeks’ rent), connection fees for utilities, and home and contents insurance.

Communicate – avoid misunderstandings, hostilities and arguments by talking openly and respectfully about your concerns with flatmates and parents. Make sure you’re open to their point of view too – getting along is a two-way street.

Keep in touch – talk to your parents about regular home visits: for example, having Sunday night dinner together every week.

Work out acceptable behaviour – if your parents don’t like your flatmate(s), find out why. It is usually the behaviour rather than the person that causes offence (for example, swearing or smoking). Out of respect for your parents, ask your flatmate(s) to be on their best behaviour when your parents visit and do the same for them.

Ask for help – if things are becoming difficult, don’t be too proud to ask your parents for help. They have a lot of life experience.

If your family home does not provide support

Not everyone who leaves home can return home or ask their parents for help in times of trouble. If you have been thrown out of home or left home to escape abuse or conflict, you may be too young or unprepared to cope.

If you are a fostered child, you will have to leave the state-care system when you turn 18, but you may not be ready to make the sudden transition to independence.

If you need support, help is available from a range of community and government organisations. Assistance includes emergency accommodation and food vouchers. If you can’t call your parents or foster parents, call one of the associations below for information, advice and assistance.

Where to get help

Your doctor

Kids Helpline Tel. 1800 55 1800

Lifeline Tel. 13 11 44

Home Ground Services Tel. 1800 048 325

Relationships Australia Tel. 1300 364 277

Centrelink Crisis or Special Help Tel. 13 28 50

Tenants Union of Victoria Tel. (03) 9416 2577

Things to remember

Try to solve any problems before you leave home. Don’t leave because of a fight or other family difficulty if you can possibly avoid it.

Draw up a realistic budget that includes ‘hidden’ expenses, such as bond, connection fees for utilities, and home and contents insurance.

Remember that you can get help from a range of community and government organizations.

Advice on how to Run 🏃‍♀️

1. Figure out how it fits into your schedule 🗓

You improve more when you run 15 minutes everyday, instead of just and hour on Friday. So know that a short run is better than no run. If your busy one day then don't be afraid to go on a 10 minute jog instead of a 25 run.

2. Shoes are important 👟

You need to get good shoes. I know not everyone can afford expensive running shoes, especially when it feels like you need new ones every month, but try to find shoes that make your feet feel good and fit your gate. Trust me it makes a world of difference.

3. Run Smarter not Harder 🧠

When you see these marathon runners you might think they go 20 miles every day, but that's not the case. Every runner has a variety of work outs that are different everyday. It can range from a 10-20 minute HIIT to Casual Weight Lifting to a 15 mile run. Set a training schedule so that different areas of your body get rest on different days.

4. Eat Well!! 🥕

Eat good food, but also enough food. So many people get into running so they get in shape, which is great. What's not great is the diets that they keep while running, like seriously you are only gonna eat 1,200 calories a day? You just burned 300 on your thirty minute run! Eat AT LEAST 1,500, or I swear to the running God I will throw a granola bar at you.

5. Find your Podcast or Playlist 🎵

If your running alone then a good podcast or playlist can really set apart a bad run from a great run. Personally I listen to screamo and hard rock so I am ALWAYS pumped to go kick some butt. Though some people like a nice podcast to distract them. Either way figuring out what to listen too can be really helpful on your runs. So have fun searching Spotify tonight.

6. Listen to your body 💪

If your leg is hurting then there is probably a reason. Try yoga that day or a light workout. Trust me, you lose a lot less of your gains by skipping one day as opposed to one month due to injury.

7. Have fun with it 😄

Running is not the be all end all of health and fitness. So if it doesn't work for you then don't think you have to do it to be healthy. Also don't think that you have to train for long distance if you find sprints fun. It's a hobby, not a punishment.

Advice on Writing ✏️

1. It’s not an all or nothing activity. 📝

When you write it can feel like you need to jump head first into writing a book, or a 1000 word short story. You don’t need to go big or go home. Practice your craft and make sure to take easy days were you just write whatever because it’s fun.

2. Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses. 💪

Some people are amazing at using language to craft a picture but struggle to craft a story. Some people are amazing at telling the story in their heads but can’t form a proper sentence to save their life. Whether it’s grammar or characterization just know that everyone struggles with writing in some aspect. Nobody is perfect so don't expect yourself to be.

3. Experiment. Experiment. Experiment.🔬

Get out of your comfort zone. Try new genres. Play with narrative styles. Make trash. Make art. Make ALL OF IT. You will make stuff you love and hate but in the end you will figure out what your good at and what you can pull off.

4. Critique others, and let them critique you.🤔

Find others work and really analyze them. Figure out what works and what doesn’t in the story. You don't need to tell the author in an online forum but you can if you want, most writers want the critique. If you post online then make sure you say you want critique. It may hurt but it makes you better.

5. Write now, not later.⏰

It can seem daunting, but if you have the time and energy. Write. It doesn’t need to be good or creative, but it needs to be something. Trying writing a description of a mystical land, or just free write and see where it goes.

6. Keep up with your ideas.💭

Keep a journal of your ideas. Write down you latest of late night thoughts. Your early morning grogy ideas. Keep them all because they can all be turned into something amazing.

7. Examine your ideas.🔍

Coming off from my last point, you should examine each of your ideas. Ask yourself these questions.

Would this work in the written form?

Can I successfully deliver this message?

What do I want to convey with this?

What kind of story am I telling?

Is this long form or short form?

Where can I go with this idea?

These should help you get started on developing those ideas, and seeing if you want to use them.

8. Your growing. Even if you don't see it.📈

Go find your oldest piece of writing, and keep it somewhere easily accessible. Mine is from 7th grade, and is a really bad slam poem. I keep it at the top of my document files.

Whenever you feel like your not getting better, compare your newest work to that piece. You will probably laugh at how bad your writing was, but you will see how far you have come as well.
