Answer 1

i think as long as you have left school and can suppost your self financially then there should not be a problem, i think your parents are just worried bout you, if you reasure them that you are not gonna do anything silly and you can look after your self it will be fine, just dont leave on bad terms coz the first time you leave u prob will find it hard and wanna come back, it happens to us all! good luck

Answer 2

Don't move out too young, it's better to stay and save cash for awhile first. I moved out at 20 and by then I had 2 years in a job and was able to buy decent furniture and pay my rent and bills. If you move out now and can't handle it you will risk wrecking your credit rating and you will care about that later :)

Most parents really aren't that bad to live with, but if you feel threatened or in danger call the authorities.

Answer 3

There isnt a legal age but I suppose it depends on how mature you are also. I moved out of my parents house at 17 and 1/2. Its your independance.

Answer 4

You can move out after the age of 16 legally although I'de think long and hard before you do.... financially it's a bit of a shock when you first leave home!

Answer 5

You will regret moving our of your parent's house too soon. Unless you have a job, how are to going to pay rent, electricity, buy food, wash your clothes, iron them, have cash for the pub or club, or to pay for your mobile? Don't do it, you will only upset your Mum and when you regret it and want to move back in, your Dad will make you eat crow for ever and ever. Try and sort out whatever it is that makes you want to move out if you can and live the good, easy life at home, whilst you can.

Answer 6

You have plenty of time to experience the world - dont leave home under a cloud - you may need your parents in future. You can be married at 16 with parental consent 18 without and so it will not be illegal to leave home now but you will have bills to pay that you dont have now and so you wont have much money - freedom is expensive I'm afraid my dear!!

Answer 7

You can move out any time you like its called being Homeless! With house prices and rent costing a fortune thats what you will be unless you have a high paying job Some how I dont think you have one at 17

Answer 8

DO LIVE IN IRELAND,then you must be thirty three have at least 15k in the bank drive your own car. pay a deposit on a house where your mother would like to live,have steady girlfriend who is the same colur, faith knows the local father because she visits him that often im begining to believe ,like my mother says,she is a living saint ,that girl to put up with you.

if you live in any other part of this world its usually at age sixteen.

Answer 9

Babe, stay at home, 17 is still young. Have you a job, can you afford to live any where else? You will soon miss having your meals cooked and you washing done. Unless it is really bad living with your parent/ parents stay there with them. Good luck.
It is not good for every one to move out at 16.

Answer 10

16-18 the age i think i moved out at 16 and a half
