It’s okay. I’m 16. And how I got here without spending a night alone is just that I only lived with my mum for the first 11 years of my life and she never left me alone overnight, and in residential care you can’t be left alone ever at all for any reason
Yeah, I feel like I’m in such a weird situation where I’m deemed too young to do half the things I want to do, but old enough to live more or less by myself
I think society completely underestimates the ability of young people. Years ago you would be treated as an adult with adult responsibilities and expectations.

Oh you’re only 16 I thought you were much older. Ok this makes so much more sense now.
16!! Agree, that’s still fairly young to be on your own.
