It's your life and your choices. If you feel ready to leave the nest, go for it! As long as you feel like it's the right decision for you, both mentally and physically. Make sure you can sustain yourself so you don't end up in a really bad situation right away.

That is completely okay. Just make sure that you have enough means to do so and that you have a place to live. In the end just do what is best for you.

That's completely okay! Moving out after becoming a legal adult isn't as uncommon as one would think and I know many people who have and live much better lives. It all depends on your relationship with your family, but if you feel like you'd be happier that way by all means do so!

Just because you're related to someone, doesn't mean you have to like them. You can like someone and still dislike being around them too. Just make sure you're prepared to move out and can support yourself when you turn 18

I personally think that maybe you should confront your problems because in life it's good to have family.

I understand hating your family- whatever reason it is, you need to do what makes you happy. If you can reasonably move out and have the financial means to take care of yourself and make a living, then that's okay. Make sure you're doing everything you need to to take care of yourself and stay safe and healthy.

Moving out is a definite possibility. Being independent and taking responsibility for ones self can be very rewarding. But no person is an island. Eventually everyone needs some form of help. And maintaining a good relationship with family can make those times of need feel like nothing at all.

Family is the important part of anyone's life. Its all you have from the very first beginning. So leaving it is like ripping off an integral part of your body. Anyone of just 18 can have a rush of blood in which the particular can think of leaving the family but it might not work out in the end.

Its perfectly normal. Your own life, own opinions, own style. If you hate them, you hate them. If you want to move out, you can. You don't need to feel ashamed or embarrassed
