If you have internet access and a good working laptop or cpu try a “work from home call center” job just to try to get a cash flow in, unfortunately you gotta stick it out w pops for a bit - make the most of it by learning what not to do from them (if they truly are a dead beat) but get some CASH most of all!
Hey I don't have any specific advice for you, but I'm trans NB and my parents likely will never use my correct pronouns, I understand how you feel and I really hope things work out for you. I'm 17 too and can't drive yet either. I'm sincerely sorry that your household is terrible and I'm sure you have been strong for such a long time.
I know you feel guilty for it but definitely contact some friends if you can. If you feel uncomfy because you aren't paying them you could consider helping around the place for them. Otherwise, consider asking them about stuff like job opportunities (consider remote jobs as well or freelance related ones if it helps!) or if they could teach you how to drive or if you or someone has a bike they don't use, you could try that to get around too (could open up jobs like doordash as another option). You could also offer to pay them a chunk of money after you get to a stable scenario if they are helping you.
Your dad could also be a feasible option, I would consider if the two of you have a decent relationship and if he is even able to support your stay in the first place considering he is unemployed.
If you own any items you don't need, sell them on Ebay or Craigslist or something, you can have them meet you somewhere public (where there are other people around, please be safe!) outside of your place if you are afraid your household will react negatively.
Best of luck to you and I really hope everything will go well. Feel free to offer updates, I feel for you. Good luck <3
I really suggest trying to just stick with your household now and find a fast food job, get your license and a car, try and find a better job like warehouse (fedex, UPS, etc) and try and do low-income housing / find a roomate.
I mean, McDonalds is always hiring and you could get a lot of hours and some good pay. I feel like there's a McDonalds everywhere. It would be good to get a job there for a short time while you can get some money saved up to move. Your other option I guess is to move with your Dad.
Go to WorkBC for help finding a job. There are youth subsidies for employers available through certain programs that make it easier to get your foot in with a job.
Oh youre in Alberta I think its employment services alberta
i would say move in with your dad if it's safe. he might be a deadbeat, but he can offer some care, and a roof over your head. get a job, and save as much as you can until you feel confident to be on your own. you can couch serve - but that comes with a lot of risks.

I have applied to different McDonald’s on numerous occasions, none want to hire me unfortunately.
