Answer by shutuppauface
You need to prove actual need or threat (legal neglect, drug or physical abuse, not just “they don’t understand me”).
No other place to live (no grandparents, siblings, aunts and uncles to take you in).
Legitimate means to support yourself (a real job AND plans to graduate hs or get a GED).

Will I Become Overweight When I Grow Up?

Question by Oliver: Will I become overweight when I grow up?
I am a 14 year old male, 5’5. I weigh 115 pounds. I exercise everyday and eat healthy. Diabetes and overweight problems run in my family. I have 6 siblings and my one sister, who is a dietitian, and one of my brothers are skinny. And me. My mom was overweight, but she had a surgery and she now craves healthier food, so she is skinny. Both sides of my family have diabetes. All my grandparents have had it. My mother will most likely not have it after her surgery. My dad was my size and active like me when he was a teen. He claims that he “abused” his diet as he grew up. I am pals with my mom and healthy sister. Will I be overweight?
