    I’ve previously mentioned that I’m pretty sure I have access to my birth certificate but if you read the list of requirements on the link I gave you, you’ll see that it only covers 3 of the 5 (technically 6) requirements. I do have access to my SSN card but that still leaves the fifth (and sixth) requirement unfulfilled. As for sneaking out, I tried that multiple times over the years and every time I was escorted back home in a police car before I could even get to my destination. I can’t even go to the grocery store on my own without having my parents calling the police on me.

    The main reason why my parents are like this, is because I was diagnosed with autism back in middle school. Ever since then, my parents (and really my entire family) have started treating me differently.

    And it’s like, I’m not even trying to get a job or a bank account. I’m okay with not having them, what my issue is, is that because I’m limited to using “beer money” sites and apps to be able to buy things, I’m very limited as to where and what I can buy. I used to be able to buy pretty much anything I wanted to if I put in the work but then Swagbucks changed their policy so that you now require an ID to do pretty much anything on their website. I still have access to and use InstaGC but there’s only 3 websites that I use and can actually use with the gift cards they offer. I also use Bing but that’s both even more limited and extremely slow to earn enough points to actually buy anything. Every other app/website I know of is either not worth using, a scam or I’m hesitant to use because I’m starting to have trust issues with these websites and apps.

    And seeing that America is slowly turning into a second Nazi Germany, I’m not optimistic for the future of these websites and apps.

      aren’t you older than 18 though? can’t you just say you are not lost to police? not even your sister cares? are there not any ngo’s you can call that will help you out?

      see, the thing is i’m just stumped your government makes it so hard for you to id yourself and be an independent human being, this should not be that hard and there must be stuff you can do about it. you are already in nazi germany and didn’t notice, motherfuckers treating you like an actual removed.

      and mind you i’d be treated by my family about the same, for similar reasons. i was bit in the ass for letting them do much milder shit to me and am still paying a big price for it. please figure out how to get the fuck out of this house and family because you are gonna get fucked big time for it.

      i wish i could be of any actual help, but i’m halfway around the planet from you. i’m sure you can plan something out though.
