I think that the appropriate age to leave home would be eighteen. And that sixteen would be too young to leave home.

We never really leave home. Our body and thoughts may leave and wander, but our heart and soul stay firmly rooted at home.

As this is an opinion, it is subjective and will vary between people, but I believe that any age below 18 is too young to leave home. When you are not yet 18, your parents still have a legal responsibility to care for you, and you are not yet a legal adult. Most people by the age of 17 will have had very little experience in caring for themselves, so most stay at home until even past 18.

I don't think there is a specific age. It's all down to how mature you are and how ready you are to live outside in the real world. Do you feel as if you're ready to take the next step in your life?

I believe to leave home at 16 is the youngest you should go, 18 being the perfect age. By the time you can support yourself you should be ready to leave, however if you are not capable of supporting your self emotionally then perhaps you should seek help.

Any age is too young if you do not have a very solid plan in place for survival. You need to know how you will get food, shelter, education and any other resources for at least the next year.

A minor and a person who can't be independent mentally, financially and emotionally should not leave home .. preferably below age 18

depends on the person. if you are fairly independent then you should be able to leave at around 15-18. however u are still young at that age, and it might be difficult without parents or a caretaker.

For me personally would probably anything under 16. I remember how I felt when I was 16 and I wanted to run away from home... I thank God I didn't.

I think a young age is under 18 because you are still a teen, learning how to be independent. When you are 18, you are an adult meaning that you don't belong to your parents
