I can understand why you would be feeling stress from this situation. Every state is different when it comes to the age that a young adult legally has to stay in school. I believe that for New Jersey the legal age that you are required to stay in school is 18. This is something that you may want to check on with the school you are currently attending. Are you in high school or entering college? If you are still in high school I believe your parents would be required to continue to allow you to go to school. If you are entering college that would be your choice. If you need any more help please call 2ndFloor Youth Helpline at 888-222-2228!
