Just wondering. I am not ritch. So I don't have many cloths. And going college I will probably be in the same cloths most days... I am a little worried about this causing bullying. Any solutions? I tend to be a target for bullies. Has anyone else had this problem?

It might help to tell us what region or country your school is in, and whether it's a local school (such as a junior college) or one that attracts students from many parts of the country or world.

I thought your autistic sister was trying to kill you, and your mother was throwing you out of the house, and your father's girlfriend won't let you in to their house, and your boyfriend's flat won't allow your cat?
Plus, you are only 17.
Suddenly now you are going to college next month and worried about clothes?
These two stories don't gibe, especially in importance.

In the US, salvation army or church thrift store. Cothes are least of your worries,

And no there is not normally bully in college. You are not in same classes with same people all the time.

I am going college I am not hiding that. Of course I am going to worry about it. I don't want more bullying on top of all the home problems.
Mum is trying to throw me out, my dads girlfriend won't let me move in. I am house sitting while she is away. Dad let me so I can get away from home for the week. And my boyfriends flat won't allow my cat but if I have to give him to dad to live then I might.

I guess. Bullying put me into a horrible anxiety and I have only just over came it. I am worried about it all happening again.

College is different than high school. People are more worried about themselves and their grades than they are bullying people over their clothes.

OK, I'm sorry I didn't really see the connection between one set of worries and this one. I agree with all the others that college is much different.
I can't really tell how bad life is for you overall, or if you just don't want to leave home after high school (which you admitted), which most of us had to do.
It really does sound like your boyfriend's flat is going to be your home, right? If your cat is at your dad's, maybe you can find another apartment that allows cats, or you can pay a tiny bit more to the landlord per month, a give him a pet deposit. All in all this sounds solvable. The problems with your sister are not relevant - you can't live with her and your mother anymore.
