Can a 16-year-old live alone in the US and enroll in high school without a guardian or parents?
Sure. There is a legal process called EMANCIPATION. This is where the parents willfully give up all rights and claims to their adolescent and some states will allow it at 16 if the parents sign custody to a judge approved minor.Now ask me if a 16 year old SHOULD be emancipated. No. An apartment manager or owner will NOT want to rent to a person so young. Most jobs that pay decent wages you can live on WILL NOT hire under 18. Most 16 year Olds can NOT support themselves in a way that will make them able to thrive.I'm sorry but I believe you should consider maybe reporting your parents to the state (if there is honest abuse or neglect) or asking your parents if you can live with an alternate relative. If it's possible, maybe try to work things out. Why would anyone want to be homeless, or hungry and without the education, or the marketable skills necessary to pay for a place with utilities and food and hot water and other things necessary to really thrive
What is the safest branch in the U.S Military?
No definitive answer. You could go by historical losses, but it really depends on what war and what kind of war.The Army has lots of frontline combat troops, which generally is more dangerous than rear support troops. The Army has taken the most casualties historically, but then they are historically the largest force. The Marines have lots of frontline combat troops, again generally more dangerous, and a higher percentage of ‘tooth to tail’, every man a rifleman attitude, and an aggressive warrior ethos. But a smaller force.The Navy has been in a lot of combatting, but all and all, been pretty good at not getting shot at since WW2. A lot of the things the navy does can be dangerous, as recent mistakes have born out. Still and all, in conflicts short of all out war, safer.The Air Force has the smallest pointed edge, with most of its troop supporting a sharp forward edge. In most conflicts, many will not be shot at, and conduct their missions at home or forward bases.That all being said, if a all out war were to occur, than no rear area may be safe.
