What age is too young to leave home?

Age isn't the determining factor. It is dependency. If you are dependent on your family, or whoever you are being sheltered by, then it will not be wise to leave home until you build independence. When you are independent, you can leave home. Granted, age does correlate with some things. It is unlikely to be independent at an age that is not legal to have a job most places. It is unlikely to be independent at an age where you are legally limited in to many ways (can't sign a lease, can't get a job, can't sign for your own responsibilities and needs). But, it isn't impossible. It is just harder. You can be independent of your family and the people you live with being under 18 if you take the help of another adult you are comfortable with. Maybe have them help with legal responsibilities you will have living on your own and coordinate with that person. However, there is only your mental state, financial situation, and level of independence in general that will determine whether you can leave home and be safe/survive. There is no number that determines that. People develop differently, and learn at different times. Some may learn the things they need to learn earlier than others, and have the motivation and means to put that information to use. You just have to work towards independence.

I think that answer is going to depend on your personality! Some kids are comfortable leaving home when they're really young to go off to boarding school and such, others may need to stay home for longer periods of time. Think about what's causing you to want to leave home and work from there.

You might want to consider staying at your home until you're done with college or High School. If you think you need to leave your home, you might want to consider talking to some organizations like the Connie Maxwell Children's home.

there is no right age, it could be 18 for some and maybe older or perhaps even slightly younger for others. as a good rule of thumb just ask yourself a few questions like: do you have a job ie: able to pay rent or a mortgage? (have a look online and see how much houses or apartments are to rent\ buy to help gauge if you are able to stay on top of bills) Do you feel you are ready to look after yourself ie: you have learnt life skills like doing your washing, or where a fuse box is or can you feed yourself cook or be happy to eat read and things while you learn to cook? and if you feel like moving out is the right thing to do then make a plan, set a timeline of when you feel you will be able to move out and also think if there are things you might need for your place and if buying them in advance might be useful? like a kettle or cleaning products (so you can keep your place clean) a lounge or couch and bedding and a mattress protector or even a new mattress is even better.

I know that legally, in the US you are under your parents care until you are 18. I think it is best to stay with your parents until you are mature and responsible, unless they are abuse or harmful, and then maybe you should seek help on how to get out of a toxic home environment.

Anyone under 18 should seriously consider if it's the right thing to do, it's a difficult path to take.

To me there is no specific age that makes you too young to leave home. It is completely relative on how your life is and how you are treated at your home.

Depends on your circumstances, try having a chat with a listener or talking with a family doctor. :)

I feel like it depends mostly on how much knowledge you have and how much growth you have accompanied to adapt , I think it fits differently with each individual. but i certainly would say if your parents knew or we're okay with it! then that's a definite answer

I think if your under 18 years old is too young to leave home
