I am tired of my mom always getting mad at me because she has to take me to work. An i hate how every one works at night and i am here alone. Pretty depressing. Moving with friends is good isnt it?

PERHAPS if you did something to help your mom -- like offering (at least) to pay for the fuel in the car when she drives you to work. Moms DO have to work, and we can't always choose the hours we work either.
Moving in with friends is NOT a good idea right now -- because you will soon find out that those so-called 'friends' will be awfully scarce after you do move in with them (and besides, at age 17, you are STILL a minor -- and dependent on your parent for your needs).
First of all -- get yourself a REALITY CHECK -- pick up the newspaper, find out the average cost of an efficiency apartment in your local area. Then find out the average cost of electric, phone service, and what you EAT too. THAT will be a real eye-opener for you (like it was for my two teens). THAT information will show you what is more important -- and that is to respect your mom and HELP a little too! (Think about it -- with fuel prices above $3 a gallon, how much MORE is your mom spending to fuel the car every week now versus a year ago).
NEXT: Stick with school -- that is the one way you can EARN the knowledge to be able to support yourself in the near term.
Finally -- How much of your earnings are you saving? How much is being spent to help your mom meet household expenses (and are you taking advantage of that by having her feed more than just you?). Just a little help and some mature actions on your part (like paying for the next tank of fuel) will help the situation tremendously

The only way would be to ask mom if ok as she is still responsible until your 18. Also moving out may not be the answer. Have you thought maybe its time to take some responsibility and take the bus???? You don't explain the circumstances but it seems like that could be one answer.
Maybe mom is over stressed and your needs being added to hers isn't exactly fair. I mean you wanted or needed a job but somehow it become "mom's responsibility" to make sure you get back and forth to work?!?!?!
Umm last I checked unless you have a physical handicap should be no reason why you can't talk, take the bus, or ride a bike...
Imagine if you lived with someone and they told you I got a job but I need a ride everyday. I don't care that I'm almost an adult its still your responsibility to get me there.
It's time mom put her foot down or for you to grow-up and decide it's your job and your responsibility to arrive on time and ready.
That's my opinion anyways...

well you see you are stuck somewhere in the middle.. because legally you are not an adult and unless you emancipated or have permission from your parents you legally can not "move out" But on the other hand if you commit a crime depending on what it is you can be tried as an adult at 17.. so you see you are stuck in the middle..
How long before you turn 18?
if it isn't that long then try to hang in there.. but if you really want to move then talk to your Mom and try to get her to agree with the move..
Just remember moving on your own is a HUGE responsibility and moving in with your friends might sound like fun now and might be fun in the beginning but it is very difficult.. just be careful it is very easy to mess up your credit!! pay your bills, work and please if you haven't already finish school!! Good Luck!!

You may want to wait til your 18. AND have a job, and a vehicle, and some $ saved.
Moving with friends may sound like a good idea, but in fact it is NOT. And no matter WHERE or WHO you move with, you still need to be indepedent enough to pay your own way. That is your very first concern.
In the meantime, stick with doing your very best with your studies!

wait til ur a lilttle older. im 17 too and if i move out, i'd have to pay for so much more like rent, insurance, and so many other miscelaneous things. It's best to stay til ur at least 18 or 19.

Yeah, with a parent's permission, legal age is 18

Hopefully she will give you permission - But until you are 18 she is totally responsible for anything that you do or happens to you!
Unless you go to court and become (don't know name of it) but kind'a like divorce your family!
