That's definitely ok, some people just don't get along with their families - and moving out at 18 is perfectly normal.

It's always important to understand why you "hate" your family. Of course there are good reasons, but it could just be that you are having a bad day. It's always important to reevaluate your decisions (especially large ones) before making them by talking to someone. If you really feel that it's what's best for you, tell a friend or someone on 7 cups and get their ideas about the situation. If it's truly best then make sure you plan ahead.

That's pretty normal, most people have familial issues and they find that they can get along a lot better with their families when they have their own personal space and freedom.

Absolutely! when you turn 18 you're considered and adult, and can move out and anything you basically want to. It's also okay for you to feel this why for your family. However, they are family. You should try to get along with them.

It is okay as long as you know you can provide for yourself. Drive, Get a jobs, aparment, house, etc. if not then id juet try a little harder to stay untill you know your ready to go out on your own.

Yes. Not liking your family can be perfectly normal, especially in situations where their beliefs or Morals or Ethics and yours differ by a big margin.

In my opinion its your choice. Can you afford to move out do you pay your own bills? Some places you have to have credit to get your own place and a couple thousand dollars in your name to get approved for your own place. And some places want family to cosign for your first place at that young of an age

Moving away from home is a big change, it's important to make sure you're making such a big change for the right reasons.

I don't know what they've done, but nonetheless, that's completely fine. You're not indebted to someone just because they're your family. Respect, trust and love are earned, and if they haven't shown you that then you are free to do as you wish. You are your own person. Stay safe and good luck.

It's never ok to feel as if you are trapped and hate your family. Moving out when you turn 18 is perfectly fine. It is important to have a plan when you decide to move out.
