Do you know OP is in a library? Perhaps, but more often than not nowadays, people, even low income people, spend more money on Xbox's, iPhones, New PCs, etc., instead of even getting shoes to put on their feet. Wouldn't be surprised if OP is the same way...

I said I was "going to be" homeless, I am using my dads internet from my computer, and as another user said there are libraries when I become homeless... which I will be since my parents are kicking me out in a week or so and even then I am going on craigslist to see who can help me out since shelters scare me.

Well I may just die alone then... but people just do not seem to like me for no reason... been avoided by people my entire life except from people that would steal to me, lie to me or otherwise.

@subconsciousme- thanks for mentioning crisis foster care for dogs.
Actually, grew up with dogs my entire life (cats, fish, birds, lizards, snakes, etc). I like dogs, (don't have one now because the kids are enough work), but when people start treating their pets like people, there's something wrong.
This person claims to be homeless, claims to have no money, yet has a dog. Unless that's some kind of new breed that doesn't require feeding and vet care, then that dog is costing them money they don't have.

Why not just tie it up outside a shelter with a note "please find my dog a good home. I can no longer care for it properly." Problem solved.

Why don't you try making amends with your parents? You seem to think becoming homeless is going to be some cool adventure like backpacking cross country with friends.

there are no amends to be made considering I did not do anything wrong, my mom wants me gone so she can finally be free of me... selfish reasons... And being homeless is not going to be fun if anything I am dreading it!

Why don't you just get a job and get your own apartment where you currently live?
