Yes it is ok but you might want to make amends with them and think about why you hate them so much.

Wanting to move out after you turn 18 is always every young person's aspiration. Remember, the best time you spend closer to your family is now, after you over 18 you will spend the time in college after which you will be out there looking for a job, then you will be thinking of starting your own family. Now is the time for you to love your family. Tolerate them for now for soon before you know it, they might get old and you might be busy taking care of your own needs away from them.

Its okay to want to move out when you're 18 but you should make sure you are financially stable enough. If you dont have the money or cant alone or with housemates for any other reason, relatives or close family friends are also a good idea.

What is it about your family that makes you want to move out? Is it an unsafe situation or would you prefer being independent?

You should love your family and be thankful for the people you have. It's natural for someone to want to move out as soon as they can, to feel older, more free, and happier.

It's perfectly natural to rebel against family. There is nothing wrong in wanting to leave when the time is right providing you have somewhere safe to go. Possibly if you are all not living together you will get on better. Try work out why you hate them so much and if there is a way of correcting this. Speak with myself or another listener on here.
