I believe that is personal preference and situational experiences. Any age before 16 I feel is to young going out on your own. 16 and up I feel you can find ways to manage better on your own but it's not really ideal either.

Personally I'd say 18 because you need family to help you get on your feet before you leave the home

I think you are then ready to leave the home if you are independent enough and its no problem for you to do financial stuff, buying groceries, clean etc. on your own and on a regular basis. I think an other important point is that you still go to work/school/college on a daily basis and dont neglect it.

Any age under eighteen is too young to leave home. Even after eighteen, it will depend on how mature the person is and what financial means they have to take care of themselves.

I believe that any age under 16 is too young to leave home. You just aren't old enough to work and support yourself due to the labor laws, at least here in America.

I don't think it has much to do with age, I mean, of course it's too young for a 10 year old to leave home, but I think it varies whether or not you can support yourself, do you have a stable job ect.

Any age younger than 18. From 18 on you grow so much and learn so much about life. Plus living rent free is much easier while your trying to figure out your niche in the world.

Depends on why one is leaving home. I left home for boarding school at age 8, for example. But, leaving home for a job at that age would run afoul of child labour laws and rightfully so.

it depends where you live and the country your in its all different standard, in US 18+ after high school you have a decision to stay with your family or move out so in US anything under will be consider to be too young to leave home.

That really depends. I'd say under 18 is too young because of the laws associated with it. But certain states offer emancipation younger than that (because theres no reason to get emancipated once you're 18 as you're legally an adult). To anyone considering leaving home I'd encourage them to thoroughly consider all of their options and to seek the guidance of a licensed professional social worker.
