What age is too young to leave home?

I would say 15, but if there is a family member or close friend to care for them then it is okay, just for health and safety reasons.

Age isn't the criteria; its physical and emotional maturity. Of course spiritual and mental maturity are also important but you need the physical and emotional foundation for being responsible for yourself.

Try to think about why you want to leave home. Think about the benefits and the problems with leaving home. In the UK law, if you have a reason or can show you can support yourself, 16 is the age you can legally leave home.

I would honestly say that unless you are 18 or older, you shouldn't try to leave home. If you are going through a situation where you are getting abused, then you should get help, and in that case, you will be taken to a better place

I think it's not a manner of age but for maturity, my mum leave home at 15 years old, and I leave home at 16 so, it's about how people can be responsable and mature not about the age.

In my opinion, any age under eighteen is too young. You’re still a kid and you still rely on your parents for the basic necessities of living, such as food, education, money, etc. Honestly, until you’re able to provide for yourself, I wouldn’t recommend leaving home. And honestly, even though it may feel like you can’t wait to get the heck out of your parents’ house, it’s really not something to rush. You need to try and savor every single moment of your childhood. Believe me, you won’t regret it. You’ll cherish those memories for ever and ever.

Probably the legal age in your country/state as you will have limited liberties or may not even be legally allowed to move out on your own. Otherwise it is more of a resources problem that is unrelated to age.

What would a person need to live alone? I know of people leaving young and people that were alone because their parents died young. I have seen people manage from 12-14 all alone but a lot If times with someone from 16 and up. Children on the street in India can be 2 years old and alone and working. So what does a person need to manage all the the things to survive by them selves? I have also seen old people still needing money from their very old parents. Not able to live alone. And people that now and then go back to their parents because some things are easy all allone when nothing happends and some times can change, life gets to hard and then some people need their parents again.

I'm not sure what you mean by "too young". So I will answer this as if you are asking "How old do you have to be before you can move out of your parents' home"? I think it all depends on what the legal age limit is in your country. Here in the U. S., the legal age is 18 in most states. So, I would stick with the legal age for your country. Another factor would be is if you were kicked out of the house, then I would say there would be no legal age there, but it would have to be really bad for parents to kick their minor child out of their home.

The legal age to leave home is 16. However, some people at 16 will not feel mentally mature enough and that is okay. Not many people leave home at 16 because they are in education and need the support from their families. But those that do are able to support themselves. People come from all different backgrounds and move through life at different speeds. If you feel as though you are ready to leave home at 16 and your parents allow you then you should be able to leave but, if you are not ready that is also accepted. Some people never leave home and always lean on their parents for support. It just depends on whether you believe you are ready.

Age is no bar. Age is nothing other than a number. Leaving home is just an example. Anything can be done without thinking of the age. Our world is full of people who did not respect their ages and went on to do great things. The best example can be non other than the world's second richest man in the world, Mr. Warren Buffett. This man started investing at the age of 11. May be the youngest investor of the world. The field of computer science is the best example of age no bar, we can find many people doing stuff more than their age. For example, I just saw this website http://codesmash.tech/ which say the boy learned codes at the age of 11 and has made websites and helping the world to make their own. So these examples say that, if kids are capable of changing our world then changing or leaving home is not a big deal for them. But to be more specific they should leave home only after they are capable to take a stand for themselves. May the joy be with you :-) !!!

I believe that maturity is a very wide spectrum.. I know 18 year olds who are more mature than some 30 year olds. This being said, I believe that as long as a person has a job, knows how to manage finances in order to be able to provide for themselves, and is ready to make the commitment to sign a lease, that’s what matters. I think anyone under the age of 16 definitely should still be at home. In most states, you’re not even old enough to work unless you are 16. Being 16 years of age also means that you are of age to carry a drivers license. If you are of age to work, and of age to drive, and you know how to manage money well enough to take care of yourself, you could very well be just fine if there was a reason for you to leave home. However, I personally think that it’s a good thing to take advantage of staying at home and not having to pay rent as long as possible. The real world is a tough place!

Age has nothing to do with when you should leave home. When you leave home you should be prepared to find a place to live and find a job so you can support yourself. maturity and age are two separate things and maturity should be the deciding factor in when you leave home because when you leave home you will be on your own. Leaving home can be rough and draining, you need to be ready for being on your own. you will know when you're ready to be on your own when you can fully rely on yourself and you don't need anyone else.

What age is too young to leave home? I think it depends on your circumstances. Do you want to leave cause you don’t want to follow rules and have the means to support yourself? Or do you need to leave home because you’re in a toxic household? People leave for various reasons so I think the question can be a bit tricky. I know people who left home as early as 15, cause they came from an abusive household and others cause they felt the need to be self sufficient at 19. I say if you’re in a happy home, don’t rush to grow up, bills can be overbearing.

I see that it is never too young to leave home for your home is where you hang your hat. And I would never ask my family to leave it when the memories of the house have been yours for over 20 years or more. I would never want to kick my children out of the house when they been so good to me. I do not see this happening in my case here. But the question is not a good question because people do different things at different time of there lives here. And to me that is a hard question to answer.

Well, that depends on your location. Usually, if you are in the united states you legally need a guardian if you are under the age of 18. When you turn 16 though and some places if someone has agreed to take you in like a family member or something you can choose where to go. I am not sure if that's the case today, but some years ago yes. I do not and I repeat I do not recommend or suggest that you leave home if you are not of a legal adult age. That's Super Dangerous! Not smart!

I think my opinion on this is different from most peoples. I left home when I was 16 because I was forced to due to being gay. And even though it was hard I ended up with 2 degrees and speak 3 languages. I don't recommend this to anyone but, if you are having problems at home reach out to someone. There are so many resources now that can help you overcome these obstacles. It can be so scary and so tough at times, but it is possible to become your best self. Always live authentically and it will all work out.

13 and younger. If you are going to leave children 13 and younger at the house alone then you as a parent should go over do's and don'ts just so the child is aware what to do if something was to happen. Make sure that they have an emergency kit, and a list of telephone numbers to call. Get introduced to your neighbors just in case you may have to go to their house. Show them how to fix temporary meals, make sure the doors and windows are locked at all times and their phones are charged completely.

In my experience, any age below 18 is too young to leave home. If you leave home at too early of an age, you risk not receiving the kind of guidance you may have had if you stayed home. I left home too early and was not prepared financially; nor did I have enough experience. There are many lessons you learn from living with parents or your caretaker that you may not realize you are learning. You always risk not having the security of being at home to fall back on. If you leave too young and are not financially secure, you risk being homeless. Or worse ending up in a bad situation.

Every young person is different and it is dependant upon a variation of factors. For instance maturity plays a big factor as oppose to age. We as individuals mature at different rates depending on our upbringing and gender. Just because someone turns 18 doesnt mean they are mature enough to live by themselves whilst another 16 year old may be very mature and able to live by themselves. Another factor is whether this person is able to provide for themselves? I feel there is no age limitation you can place on this question and it is rather a case by case decision.

If you're immature then you should never leave home even if you're 60. When maturity hits you and you are ready to be on your own and build on your own that is the time to be independent and it doesn't necessarily mean leaving home.

I left home when I was 18. In my own point of view it’s always too young if your still not ready...

To young would be under 18 maybe different depending on country legal age limit unless the situation your in requires it to be sooner especially situation such as abuse

that's a great question. The legal age to find independent employment is about 18 years of age. Before the age of 18 years of age, there are laws to protect minors and this allows parents to make decisions. It is wise to wait until the legal age to leave home that you will be able to make legal decisions without adult help. However, if there is something that is happening at home and you need help then ask a guidance counselor at school.

I’d say it depends on the circumstances at home. Some peopple benefit leaving home an early age because they learn to be more independent. However I think some benefit more staying at home

This is all personal preference and it depends on the individuals upbringing. This is all dependant on personal experiences and how they handle situations. The individual needs the required income, support system and life skills to be able to functionally live alone. The minimum age is usually 16 years old however most who do this are under experienced and end up requiring additional support. If someone has additional needs then they may need to leave home later such as 25, or 30 years old. Unfortunately it all depends on money, and life experiences - with living prices increasing it's not easy to move out.

Because of the laws, you should not leave home before your majority. Some people, tho, leave around 17 to live with their beloved one. I don't recommand leaving home until you are fully independent or major, exception made that your parents or the people you are living with aren't treating you well. In these cases, you should seek help before doing the move :)

If you leave home before you are legally an adult, then you are too young. Once you are an adult, you can do what you want.

For me personally, I'd say 20 years old but every person is different, every situation is different depends on you

Being unable to provide for one's basic needs, such as food, shelter, and clothing without any for of dependence is too young to leave home. Being under the age of guardianship in your country is also too young to leave home
