Totally okay. Age 18 is the appropriate age for people to move out. You can also meet better people.

Wanting to move out as soon as possible is normal for a teenager. I am 16 and i want to move out as soon as i can. I love my mother and she has been an important person in my life. I think resolving whatever issues you have with your family is of paramount importance. If it's so serious that you cant deal with them yourself seek professional help.

That is a good route for some people to take. It isn't always easy when your family doesn't understand. I moved out when I went to college, but after graduation I moved back home. Families dont always get along, so if moving out is the best choice, go for it.

Moving out is a big decision. You gotta be able to land a job that can pay for, housing, food, water, cell phone bill, the payment on your car, college and other necessities. A job with just a GED requirement wont be pay much and you will struggle. You have to go to college and the only way thats gonna happen is if you get a full ride or you get a loan from the bank and thats another thing you have to pay with your minimum wage job. tough it out through college than you should have the skills available to move out of your home.

Yes. You are already in the legal age so you can move out away from your family. As long as you have the money to sustain yourself. On the other hand, hating is not healthy but maybe the hatred may subside even just a little if you move out away from them. I agree to your decision to move out because it's the time whether you will still feel or not the hatred that succumbs you when you are already far away from them.

As soon as you turn 18 you'll be legally allowed to shift out. But you have to consider the risks that you'll be taking as you leave.

Well, I think it's ok to move out right away but I think you should let your family know and that you should keep in touch with them.

Short answer? Yes. Well, let me qualify that with a warning: I do not know your situation as well as you, nor could I ever. I think my strong "yes" in this regard has to do with my belief that sometimes getting away from family creates space for us to better get along with them in the future. A break can be a healthy thing, as long as we are safe and secure on that break. In your case, will you be safe moving out at 18? A secure place to live? Proper finances? A support system in place? Unfortunately, we do not get to choose our biological family - but maybe see what you are experiencing as a challenge that you can learn from if you learn to cope with it for the time being. The lessons we learn from our parents may not always be delivered in the prettiest of packages - it sounds like you are learning how you do not want to be yourself in this world. That is a good lesson. Having stated all this, if your hate is motivated by abuse you are suffering, please do seek immediate help: 911 or the National Child Abuse Hotline: 800-4 A CHILD (800-422-4453).

Well it depends on the independent and responsibility of the person. The question is do you have a plan that will allow you to be independent and responsible? Will you be able to provide to yourself the necessities of life?
