Hey, it was just a question, calm down. Probably concerned with teh cost of living. Living on your own isn't easy, and it sounds like you want to live well and truly alone, not with a roommate or anything (which can greatly cut down on the cost of living in most areas)
Ok i'll rephrase my question , no offence meant. is it legal to live on your own at your age where you live? Are there many people your age on their own?
At least in here in the US, you cannot get a lease unless you are 18. You may think it's rough now but I would just stay until you can afford a place of your own and and until you are of a legal age, unless wherever you are from you are legal. I find these situations are not that uncommon, but a lot of kids who leave just end up coming right back home. No family is perfect; they all have their quirks, and believe me I am WELL aware of this. Why don't you try and open up to your family? Sit down and have a heart to heart, perhaps even schedule a weekly meeting to say what's on your mind. I think family is really important, they are the only one you have. You may grow to regret any rash decisions.
Why do you get so angry when your dad gets angry? I mean, you can dish the yellling, but when someone does it at you, you don't like it? I mean, your father has a point. Do you like getting yelled at? No. So why don't you stop getting angry and yelling at everyone? LOGIC
^well jeez im 17 and i cant WAIT to get out of here, my parents and sister argue non stop! my advice to you is know a couple people you want to live with just to help you out...hell my next plan is hopefully moving in with my byofriend...he has a job
dude, i support ur idea about moving out. its what i want right now too bcos my father is a moron. he loves bringing other people down to make himself seem better. whenever i express interest in something or want to do something, he thinks its a stupid idea and badgers about it for weeks until i get so disheartened that i dont have the energy to do it anymore. but anyways... i still dont think that you should be alone. move in with other people (rent is cheaper that way, i mean its better to pay $125 rent a week instead of $250 right?). and you really shouldnt push people away when all they want to do is love you, and be apart of your life. you need their love and support. life is a two way street, and you cant pretend that your car has died unless you want someone's help or support. it isnt fair on the people around you, and in the long run, it isnt fair on you either, bcos you'll realise that youve lost some important relationships that probably would have been needed....
gee, you know your grandad? All I had was two great uncles for three days. only birth family I ever met and I knew one grandfather in the adoptive family. Died when I was 10. Ever think he likes you more than the other grandsons? just print out the first sentance of that and read it over and over.
You are 17. Just wait a few more months until you are 18. Find a job at a call center (IT). Once you have a job and $2000 saved you can move out. Look for an add in the paper for roommates wanted. I have done this many times. Usually you will not have much interactionwith these type roommates anyway. Just hang out in your room when they are home. Good luck man.
You are not responsible for your brothers actions, only your own. You need to get yourself into a stable position as you already realise in order to live away from home. I wonder if you feel like you are on an emotional rollercoaster? Mood swings anger/tears/frustration are mainly down to hormones and you have a zillion floating round your system at the moment. It is a natural part of growing up. I'm a Mum, I have sons round your age, just older. I'm not going to say we never had an arguement, but it never got abusive from either side. Try not to provoke your parents and if it causes such a big rumpus, don't yell back. Raised voices are not productive.
Not everywhere do you have to be 18 to move out on your own. For example, I love in Texas and here females are considered adults and can move out on their own at 17. <br><br>I don't know why this law is how it is, but it comes in handy when you get in trouble with the law. They can't legally inform your parents about it.
