Can teenagers live alone in the sims 3.
In TS2, I make a family with adults and then the teen is alone. In TS4, I just make teen household. None of those work in TS3. Can you have a teen household in TS3, from the start? Can you kill off an...

Correct, the skill gain scaling and further tuning from there are handled by NRaas Relativity.
Yes, homeschooling will work fine for a teen head of household. The NRaas Careers mod and its Schools add-on module are required, and then access to a computer, personal or at a library or elsewhere, to turn in homework or else they will have to do that in person at City Hall at least once per day. Or if there is no intention to bother with homework and scholastic progress, then of course the computer access is not necessary.
There are no social worker repercussions of a teen failing high school. I've had teens never actually go to school or bother with anything school related after the first day. They get into trouble with the adults in the household (but that can't happen if there are no adults), they cannot be put in detention if they never show up to school in the first place, they bravely suffer through the negative "I'm Failing!" moodlets, they do not get to enjoy academic benefits bestowed upon them at graduation (it's not much to be missing out on), and they get a typically unfortunate trait assigned to them upon aging up to YA that can be changed through CAS or MasterController anyway.
I certainly don't play all of my sim teens that way, but it's really no big deal to buck the system and find free lunches that might be more satisfying elsewhere; with the homeschooling system, the teen won't keep getting pushed by the game to attend school in person so they can fail that way using up less of their personal time by just ignoring the required homework assignments. I don't know, there's something satisfying about seeing these teens finish up high school with a perfect F (or E, depends on the locality) grade. Ha, and the best part is that they can still go to Uni (don't expect a serious academic scholarship though) or get a job in the medical profession and become a neurosurgeon by learning how to play chess or faking it and staring at the sky through a telescope to build up some minimal amount of Logic skills. :)
On a perhaps more balanced level, I've played families where the head of household was a teen and did a great job of raising their younger siblings both with and without accepting the importance of the traditional scholastic experiences and more commonly seen rites of passage.
