    who cares about legality

    you have to know how to support yourself in this insane world

    it takes work

    it's not easy

    well it is about legalitys in us there is a law that says if u can suport u can can file to move out , but what have ur parents done to u that makes u want to leave , i mean yah they might say be in by this time but so would roomies . i know this from my own experince . i say stick it out they do care about ur well being ? and they also dont want u hurt . stick it out till collage at least that way u can work and go to school and be in a dorm to try how things would be away from home and with roomates. i know dorm life is kewl and that this way if things dont work u have ur parents to fall back on and u dont burn there trust or a bridge along the way . hopefully that helps some . best of wishs

    i left hiome at your age...and it sucked bad

    here u can become an imancipated minor if you are able to support yourself inclusding a house and staying in school but it takes a court order
    there i think the age of concent maunbe 16 not 18? if so then at 16 you should be ok but the younger u are when u go out on your own the harder it will be and the more mistakes your bound to make
    whats so bad now that u cant stay?

    I've usually spent my life away from home. My folks sent me to a boarding school 1000 miles away from my home town when I was 6. After graduating, I'm studying internationally...hehe
    but I actually regret studying in the UAE.....missing out my hippie life back in the mother land, so actually, I prefer home and usually head back whenever I get the oportunity!

    Willow Oak - -stick it out and get an education!

    I left home at 15 ... and it wasn't until I was in my 40s that I was able to get to college ... 20+ years behind my contemporaries.




    Have fun and play safely!
