no, it is not. At some point in life you are going to need their help. Moving out at 18 is good, the question is " Will you be able to manage on your own?

It is completely okay for you to want to move out. You are the best judge of your situation and if you feel that's what works for you, please go ahead with that. It would be a good idea to consider all the support your family has provided all these years and if you are okay to live without that. Consider all pros and cons before making a decision. Most times, hurting someone who hurt us doesn't make things better or make us feel any good.. Be empathic of the situation and understand what makes you hate them. See if there is a workaround by talking to them. The final decision rests with you.

It is not okay to treat your family badly, if you do so it may make your situation worse. It is definitely okay to move out when you turn 18, Just make sure you are capable of supporting yourself.

I feel the same way. I think it's normal to feel like that. As teenagers, all we want is freedom, independence, responsibility, and a chance to start over. Hang in there, you'll be 18 soon enough. But also remember that these are the years you can never get back. Take in all of your surroundings and store them in your memory.

Yes, it is okay. You have all the right to not like your family and you'll have all the right to leave home and start living independently.

If you are confident tha you can handle things alone and if you are sre that youare ready to start a new life then, yhea it is okay, but be careful, do not leave without being sure you can make it on your own.

Maybe moving out for you will be good to sort out your feelings for your parents. Hopefully, the distance will make you guys appreciate each other more. But ultimately, I think distance will help whatever's going on between you two.

As long as you are 18 and don't need parental guidance it should be fine for you to leave the house. Hopefully the distance will help the relationship you have with your family. But always remember leaving alone has its own obstacles that you will have to face personally.
