Well, there's a lot of things to take into consideration if you're doing this. If you don't have a place to go, run to a nearby shelter or orphanage. I can't imagine what you're going through, and I'm sorry. If you're being abused, you should call the police. No matter how old you are, there's a chance you could get kidnapped, or killed by someone. 15 and under is too young, please message me if you plan on doing anything, I am worried about you.

It isn't about age its about maturity and the circumstances. If you can take care of yourself and you understand how to live on your own then you can leave.

The age when you are not mentally prepared to leave and the legal age in which you don't need a parent / guardian to take care of you.

If you are under the age of 18 you are way too young but if you are 18.

I think age under 15 and 15 is to young to leave home as the legal age is 18 when your an adult but when your about 16 it okay.

Pretty much until you can take of yourself on your own. For example, when you're capable enough to pay the rents, bills, groceries, food, etc.

To live by yourself you've got to be like 16 but to live with another family member who maybe isn't your parents because you don't get on with them is absolutely fine yet have to be pacific age you just have to make sure that you telling your parents What you were doing and making sure your family member is happy with what you were doing sometimes we just have to grit our teeth and live where we have to live

I would say any age below 18, any age below 18 can be argued that they are too young to understand the consequences that come after.

Leaving home before you're 18 can be a huge challenge; you have less legal abilities and therefore it makes it harder for you to do things like rent a flat or house and pay your own bills. If you're in danger at home, you can speak to Childline. Or, if you're not in danger, but you feel like you need to leave home, try your best to speak to your parents first.
