Try to think about why you want to leave home. Think about the benefits and the problems with leaving home. In the UK law, if you have a reason or can show you can support yourself, 16 is the age you can legally leave home.

I think it's not a manner of age but for maturity, my mum leave home at 15 years old, and I leave home at 16 so, it's about how people can be responsable and mature not about the age.

I don’t think there is a too young age. It all depends on your own situation and maturity. Moving home is a big change, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s bad.

I would say 15, but if there is a family member or close friend to care for them then it is okay, just for health and safety reasons.

I don't think there's an age limit but it depends on how much emotional and intellectual growth you have. Even people around 25, they still stay with their parents home. As they provide help in supporting us financially and emotionally, they worry over us. I guess until you can support yourself and stand on your own you can leave home. Its all based on perspective since some orphans too, though we don't admit it, have more knowledge of the world than people with regular families. But in my own perspective its somewhere younger than 20s is still young to leave home

There isn't really an age where you're ready to leave home. Whether you're ready to leave depends on you and how prepared you are to be out there in the real world.

If you're under 17 and without parent consent, I believe that is too early to leave home. There is too much you have to worry about like school. And you should enjoy being a kid for as long as you can. I know, I just turned 18- and things get pretty difficult when you don't have anyone to help you.

In my honest opinion, I think it depends on how you everyone at your home feels about you , how you feel about being around then and how matured you are to your age. If none of these have any significance, I think up to 17, anyone's young to be leaving home.

I think before 18 years is too young to leave home. Even after 18 be independent but keep in close n regular touch with your parents.........

I don't know if there's a specific age for this, it depends a lot on your personality, level of maturity, financial independence, lots of factors
