I have been struggling with my bills for a while and finally I'm bankrupt. I live in a room and pay 530$ a month with rent and utilities included. I make 1500$ a month but I had to pay student loans, car insurance, gas and also get my car repaired. I don't have the money for next month's rent and I'm worried once I;m evicted no other place will take me because I was not able to keep up with this rent. Someone help me please.
You can get your loan actually stopped altogether for a period of time, it's called a forbearance. Call them right away, my kids have had to do that a time or two and it has been accomplished in matter of 2 or 3 days.
Talk to your LL immediately and let them know you're having trouble but are trying to re-arrange some payments in order to stay current. Perhaps they could take $100 off the rent for a month or 2 until you can get caught up. I would rather do that than lose an otherwise good tenant, then if he did not get caught up within the agreed up on time, he would agree to just vamoose leaving the place clean.

My rent is too high. I have to pay an additional 25$ for groceries and 40$ for cleaning. I kind of do want to leave. It's way too expensive.
Get a second job NOW. You can easily put in several more hours of work a week at your young age and, once you get yourself out of the hole and your lease is up, you should consider getting into a room-mate/share situation. Best not to burn bridges with your current LL as that can really mess things up for you way into the future.
Veyron, Sorry to read about your situation, do/try everything people post for you but ultimately the LL also has obligations.
