Age isn't an issue, but rather a person's ability to be able to sustain themselves emotionally, financially, and physically.

I'd say 10-17 years olds are too young to leave home. That's the puberty period,a child grows up to be a teen, a teen grows up to be a young adult. It's an important bend in the road that we call life. A child's mind comes to form into a shape within this timespan. So many things occur at once, physical changes, psychological maturity... A good family can walk a kid thru this time, patiently. If that doesn't happen properly, if the kid doesn't have proper guidance and care, he/she is destined to divert from the path of destiny. It's tremendously important. One single mistake- and your child is scarred for life. And sometimes those scarred for life kids just can't take it anymore. The family stress, the drama... it all feels like a heavy burden on their shoulders. And as they are kids, not mature enough and no mature one to teach him enough- he thinks running away is the best answer. Running away from home, which is the root of it all. Escaping the situation because they are too young and naive and impatient to deal with it all.

It is illegal to leave home without parental consent until you are eighteen years old, so I'm assuming you're too young to leave home until then.

If a person hasen't completed high school, or is under the age of 18, then I would consider that to be too young to leave home.

I don’t know how it is in your state, but usually you can’t leave home until you are eighteen. However, in some states (in mine at least), if you run away when you are seventeen and there is no evidence of foul play the police will not go looking for you.

Age is no bar. Age is nothing other than a number.
Leaving home is just an example. Anything can be done without thinking of the age. Our world is full of people who did not respect their ages and went on to do great things. The best example can be non other than the world's second richest man in the world, Mr. Warren Buffett. This man started investing at the age of 11. May be the youngest investor of the world.
The field of computer science is the best example of age no bar, we can find many people doing stuff more than their age. For example, I just saw this website http://codesmash.tech/ which say the boy learned codes at the age of 11 and has made websites and helping the world to make their own.
So these examples say that, if kids are capable of changing our world then changing or leaving home is not a big deal for them.
But to be more specific they should leave home only after they are capable to take a stand for themselves.
May the joy be with you :-) !!!

Everyone is different. Depending on where you live in the world, there may be different rules around this topic. If you have a minimum legal age to live on your own, take this as a guideline as there has been careful consideration put in to this age and there will be reasons why it is that way. Before leaving home, I would suggest a person is logical about whether it will work finance wise, whether they will have an income, whether they will still be able to enjoy their hobbies etc.

I think that is subjective, and it all depends on the person and the situation. Everyone can be ready for things at different ages, so what could be too young for one person would be the right age for another. There could also be a situation that would force someone to leave their home sooner than they might have hoped for.

I'm not sure of an age limit. I would recommend being over 18. But it is more than age, you have to analyse if you will be able to properly take care of yourself financially and emotionally. Before leaving home put the proper plans in place to be able to sustain yourself.
