I sort of did this when I was 13, I left my dad. Never looked back, the point is, however, that if you can support yourself, than 18 is the year to go. But if its not actually you wanting to leave than make sure you don't make a horrible choice.

Yes. We are all people in this world, and there are some other people we don't get along with. Sometimes those people are your family. But keeping an open mind can be beneficial. How you feel might change when you aren't forced to be around them 24/7.

That is okay...However, you have to consider the fact that you will have to pay for a lot of things that you aren't normally used to paying for. Rent, food, internet and other amenities...they all add up and they cost a lot! Even though you may feel like you hate your family, you may still need them for a bit longer to support you for a bit longer until you can get a better foothold. Also, I am sure that your family loves and cares about you a lot, even though they might not show it sometimes :)

Moving out and becoming more self-reliant is really applaudable. Setting goals and achieving them by ourselves is indeed a wonderful thing, and 18 is indeed a right age to start. But hate should not be the base on which you do this. Try to leave away the hate, and that will add on to your accolades.

It's alright to show these emotions, and it's perfectly normal to feel the wanting desire to leave the house when you are 18

If you have the stability to do so yes, But you still need to work out and sort out why you "hate" your family, and hopefully resolve the issues as to make you life eaiser.

It is quite ok to not get along well with someone. Many people think you have to want to be around your family but that is not always the case. For some, being around them is more harmful than good. Ultimately the decision lies with you, but it definitely is OK.

Its is okay but you first try and solve the problem and if that doesn't work then you may move out but consider one thing.. You need a job and you should be able to be independent without any difficulty that means you need an apartment too. Its okay to move out at 18 but do consider all of this. :)

It's okay to feel like you want to get away, families can be really hard and sometimes breaking free and leaving can be the best course of action
