what should I do in my current job/ living situation?

0

I’m wondering what I should do in my current situation.

I’m 19, and I still live with my parents.( please don’t judge me). I have a part time job, and I pay rent to my family. I don’t have a car or a full driver’s license though, so they drive me to.work, and drive me home. I really hate being at my house, because I feel like I’m suffocating here. My dad is still rather condescending towards me and is constantly threatening to throw me out. He still grounds me, even though I’m an adult.

I also need a higher paying job, because I’m stuck on $7.50 pay. Such a job doesn’t exist in my little town, unless you want to work at Wal-Mart. I’d apply there myself, but they’re not terribly flexible with college students. And since I don’t drive, I can’t make it into town to get a better job, or to even scout out apartments, and if I did get a job in town, my dad wants me to tailor it to his work schedule.

I can’t stay here much longer, and I’m having trouble standing it, what do I do?

I guess saving. Saving to get a full license, and then to buy a car, or to cover for a few months of an apartment (and expenses) closer to work, or in another place altogether, if you can do so (you don't mention how you go to school). Or in case your dad actually throws you out (his threats would sound a little less harmful if you knew you had something to fall on).
I don't know if your current job is in an area where you can look for more work, or people searching for roommates, if you do, you know that you can say you have to work, get a lift, and then spend the time you have looking for those things.

i think the previous person is right about saving some money. life is hard as a teenager and even into the twenties, the way the economy is set up. it's hard for even college graduates to find a job. just do the best you can with what you have and try to make amends with your parents. forgive them so you can move on without them. you won't always have to talk to your parents especially if you can find a way to move out. i wish you all the best and wish i had better advice. stay strong.
