What age is too young to leave home?

Any age below 16, you may still depend on carers for financial support or physical support such as medicinal issues

As long as it's legal and you're able to take care of yourself, however old you like, whenever you're ready. If leaving home and you're not completely sure you're able to look after yourself, I would recommend living with someone else so you can figure things out together.

that's a great question. The legal age to find independent employment is about 18 years of age. Before the age of 18 years of age, there are laws to protect minors and this allows parents to make decisions. It is wise to wait until the legal age to leave home that you will be able to make legal decisions without adult help. However, if there is something that is happening at home and you need help then ask a guidance counselor at school.

To young would be under 18 maybe different depending on country legal age limit unless the situation your in requires it to be sooner especially situation such as abuse

I left home when I was 18. In my own point of view it’s always too young if your still not ready...

If you're immature then you should never leave home even if you're 60. When maturity hits you and you are ready to be on your own and build on your own that is the time to be independent and it doesn't necessarily mean leaving home.

Every young person is different and it is dependant upon a variation of factors. For instance maturity plays a big factor as oppose to age. We as individuals mature at different rates depending on our upbringing and gender. Just because someone turns 18 doesnt mean they are mature enough to live by themselves whilst another 16 year old may be very mature and able to live by themselves. Another factor is whether this person is able to provide for themselves? I feel there is no age limitation you can place on this question and it is rather a case by case decision.

In my experience, any age below 18 is too young to leave home. If you leave home at too early of an age, you risk not receiving the kind of guidance you may have had if you stayed home. I left home too early and was not prepared financially; nor did I have enough experience. There are many lessons you learn from living with parents or your caretaker that you may not realize you are learning. You always risk not having the security of being at home to fall back on. If you leave too young and are not financially secure, you risk being homeless. Or worse ending up in a bad situation.

13 and younger. If you are going to leave children 13 and younger at the house alone then you as a parent should go over do's and don'ts just so the child is aware what to do if something was to happen. Make sure that they have an emergency kit, and a list of telephone numbers to call. Get introduced to your neighbors just in case you may have to go to their house. Show them how to fix temporary meals, make sure the doors and windows are locked at all times and their phones are charged completely.

I think my opinion on this is different from most peoples. I left home when I was 16 because I was forced to due to being gay. And even though it was hard I ended up with 2 degrees and speak 3 languages. I don't recommend this to anyone but, if you are having problems at home reach out to someone. There are so many resources now that can help you overcome these obstacles. It can be so scary and so tough at times, but it is possible to become your best self. Always live authentically and it will all work out.
