...suffering. help? almost a year ago, the state took me out of my home because my parents were physically abusing me. they have placed me with a foster family a mile away from my old house, and i'm thankful to have somewhere to live. yet at the same time, i feel like they don't even know that i exist. i don't have any paperwork (birth certificiate, citizenship papers, social security cards, passport) and therefore i can't get a job, or a license and i can't even apply to any colleges.

my only option for next year at this point is either hairdressing school or community college. i need paperwork in order to apply, and nobody is doing anything! i'm getting so frustrated and all i want to do is run away. i'm seriously about to. i'm seventeen, graduating from highschool in a month, WHY IS NOBODY HELPING ME?
