Hi, I don't know if this is the right section, but I couldn't find a better section to post this in, feel free to move it if it belongs somewhere else, sorry.

I'm 19 years old, I am in the UK right now under Tier 4 General student visa. I've finished my degree and have 1.5 more months left on my visa, but I recently have encountered a massive problem. Over the last few months due to personal reasons, I've had a lot of disputes with my parents, I have now been disowned and my parents basically told me to never come back home.

I don't know what to do... I have a little bit of money to live for the next few weeks, but I can't afford a plane back to Sri Lanka, and even if I could I would have no home I would be on the streets. I have lived in the UK for 3 years consecutively at this point, and I was also here 3 years when I was younger, I am very well adjusted to British culture, and all my friends are British etc.

I am trying my best to get a Tier 2 Visa, but it's hard to get a Tier 2 sponsor in my field (web design) because almost all the companies are small and don't have a Tier 2 licence, and the bigger companies have such high competition.

Is there any recourse for me or am I ruined? Would I class as stateless? I am utterly lost I've combed through the UKBA website but I see no solution for someone in my situation. I really want to stay in the UK, I feel like my whole life is here, I'd have nothing if I was deported.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Just because your family has disowned you does not make you stateless. At all.

If you do not fit into any visa categories, you will need to get back home...

Maybe try talking to your parents? If I were a parent, no matter how bad things got, I wouldn't want my child to be homeless or an overstayer in another country.
