I have schizophrenia. My parents take my SSI and use it for rent. I hardly have any fun. What can I do to move out as soon as possible so that I can attend school and possibly work too independently? I've told the psych clinic where I get medication from about what happens my parents deny me money and then I have shouting fights with them. It feels like I'm being abused. They threaten with police and incarceration when I demand my money. Then they lie to the doctor and say I'd spend it wrongly and thereby ruin my life unintendedly. What should I do? I'm frustrated.

get a voice recorder or leave a camera/webcam on in the room when they're threatening you.
Talk to the police, tell them you'd like to be emancipated if you're a minor, or start living independently if you're an adult.
Get a restraining order taken out against them if necessary.
If you're under 18 and they are using it on RENT then they have that right. Sorry.
Are the payments made out to you or are they in your parents name?
I'm over 18. I walked out this evening. What should I do now so that I can get public housing?

No. I'm a Mathematician. I'm 21. What are the chances of my getting public housing any time soon?

First, unless you're currently employed as a mathematician, you probably aren't. Thats especially true if you managed to qualify for SSI with a psych diagnosis. If you can get a job easily, go back home and do that first.
Second, public housing depends pretty seriously on where you live. Its very likely that your options are slim and that it will take time.
Third, you're sounding paranoid. If what you're saying about your parents is true you'll need to be careful about making it appear as if you're actively psychotic.
Post your voice. I haven't heard a schizophrenic in a while.
