What do you mean by social programs?

They're usually programs sponsored by the government or your province to help out those in these kind of situations. I know Canada has quite a few programs relating to youth, such as job placement programs, mental health programs, housing programs, day care programs, etc. I don't know what province you live in, but it's worth either going to the police or looking around on your province's website for these sort of things. Canada tends to be pretty good with social welfare and I'd be shocked if there wasn't a single thing out there for your situation right now.

Yeah I live in Ontario and its worth a look.
Cant sign up for things like disability (not old enough) or welfare (can't work) but I'm sure theres something that can help. Thanks, I'll look up Ontarios website right now.

What's also worth a shot is try going to a local university and see what sort of student support programs they have. Even though you're not a student, they might know of some stuff that can help you anyways.

Not too sure what they could offer me considering I am 3 years away from even being allowed to go to a college.
And the closest university is 2 hours away.. Which is pretty far to find out dsomething like that but I'm sure their website might have something.

I just suggested university because often they're in partner with local social programs that might not be as well advertised. Do what you have to, though.
