I have 4 friends who have their own flats and still attend school (6th form) without any problems. However getting a flat would require some financial contribution from your parents unless you have a job.

Get a house, ask council maybe? Good luck, you need it.

Ask your college/sixth form for help, I know mine have helped quite a few people in similar situations. Good luck.
Contact your council, explain the situation.

My friend got kicked out of his house, and did his last year of 6th form in the roof of his mates garage - had a mattress, a desk, a light, a mini fridge and a coffee maker up there, and that was it.

get a part time CONTRACTED job. Work as much as you can whilst still studying. try and apply for EMA if your living by yourself (dont know if you can) get the cheapest flat/ spare room for rent thingy you can and bobs your uncle. oh you'll probably need food aswell.

contact the council...they should help you find somewhere
i gotta do something , cuz im going to stay at my friends next week
get on to council, youth charities, YMCA/Sally army etc.

You havent said if your male or female???

Its always harder for over 18 males to get accommodation as you are not seen as vulnerable as woman.

You can stay with me in my Cheshire sex shack. Of course, I'd need you to do certain... favours, for me. But we can arrange all of that later.
