You are no longer considered a teen by 19.
Do you have family or friends that will take you in?
Are there any shelters near you?
Even if you don't go to a shelter to stay they can help you get in programs that can help you get ahead. There's the Salvation Army and places like that that might be able to advise you on things in your area.
Is there any talking to your mom and trying to work something out?

You try to find a place to crash until you can get a job and afford your own place.

Why did she kick you out?
She is your mother, and loves you. If she didn't, she would have kicked you out when you turned eighteen.
I say, whatever the reason, figure it out. Stop it, tell your mother you will stop. Promise her you don't do [whatever you did to get kicked out], get a job to help with the bills, and be more helpful around the house.
Don't put her on the spot. Tell her this, then go crash on a friend's couch for the night. Come back the next day when she has had time to think about it, and see what she has to say.
Anyway, where are you now? You obviously have somewhere to go, you are on the internet posting this.

McDonalds has internet connection.
He may have took his laptop with him.
I know moms that kick their kids out when they turn a certain age and tell them they have to make it on their own now just because they turned whatever age.
Yes you are going to have to try working it out and get a job and offer to help with bills and all if she does let you back in.

You do what other adults do, get a job, a place to live and survive.

Yep, he is an adult now. He needs to make it out on his own.
I was just saying that it is hard to start from scratch. If he can get his mom to let him move back in on the condition that he gets a job, then he WILL get that job, leading him down the right path.
I do hope he comes back, too many unanswered questions.

Yeah exactly it is hard to start from scratch.
Like if he is on the street and his friends and family don't take him in what's he suppose to do to get employment?
I don't see how anybody on the street can get a job unless somebody is willing to let them charge their cell phone (if they even have one)
Then any potential employer may not be able to get a hold of them. Then where do they keep their clothes and have clean clothes for an interview?
Hopefully he has people to help

I agree N0help, but watch the movie
"The Pursuit of Happyness"
True story!
Anyway, we know he has SOME resources by the fact that he has a computer. If he can find a place to use a computer, he can find a place to use a phone.

I too hope he comes back to answer some questions.
I can't imagine a mom kicking out her child without reason.

My cousin was kicked out at 15 because he didn't get along with his step dad.
My one friend and some others I know were kicked out at 15 or 16 for the same reason.
I always hear parents 'bragging' about how they kick their kids out by 18 or 21 because ''they want to make a man out of them''

True NH, and I've never understood that.
Sadly, we don't know the whole story, only the OP does.
I hope he comes back and fills us in. :)
