Yes 16 is the legal age, but if things are so bad for you at home then you must talk to someone Now about it, a teacher or someone you feel comfortable with, at school, they will assess the situation and if need be, get Social Services to look into the matter. And for someone just to get things off your chest to, theres Childline. No-one of your age should be feeling so miserable, there is help out there for you, Social Services etc will not force a child to live somewhere that is a bad, unhealthy or violent enviroment. But also remember that all Mums are a total pain, (especially when your a Teenager) but im sure she Loves you very much. Leaving home should always be the last option, you may find that all it will take to restore some harmony into your household is some Mediation and Counselling. Good Luck, but Please dont suffer in silence, get help Now.

Sweetheart, you'd be surprised how things can change in even a short while, but if you really want to you could move out at 16.
Is there anyone else you could talk to who can see what the true situation is like? An aunt maybe?
Sometimes we just have to live through things. Its not that easy being a mum - i have an 18 yr old daughter so i know! My daughter didnt want to move with me when i got together with my new bloke. She was 15 and wanted to live on her own, but how could she? She couldnt afford to rent a place - even a room - and i went through it all with her telling her she could move out when she was older if she still wanted to. Now she is 18 and perfectly happy!
If you really DO intend to move out then you need to organise yourself. Where would you live? What would you live on?
It really might be better to stay at home, however bad the arguments etc are (unless you are being abused) until you are trained in a job and can support yourself.
Don't end up moving out with nowhere to live. It is a quick spiral down into grotty accommodation and worse (possibly crime or prostitution).
Make your own room (if you have one) at home as cosy as possible and spend as much time there as you can if your mum is difficult, but do you know sometimes if you were to think about her side of it, and smile and be nice, she might be nicer back! Make her a cup of tea or something!
I wish you lots of luck and hope things improve.
Faith (mum of two, aged 49)

I was 16 when I moved out of my parents house. It was very hard to survive because I was so young. I wanted to work but, couldn't make enough money to really survive without having to ask others for food and shelter. Do yourself a favor, don't move out. Continue to hang in there until you get older and can support yourself. Is it possible to live with another relative? Your father maybe? Grandmother?

Well girl I know this is hard for you but I would advice you to stay home for some years because live never always be easy just stay strong and ignore whatever your mum does to you because one day you wont be staying with them forever but think carefully before you move out remember it won't be easy

everybody at some stage hate their parents whatever they do. when you are at your age you think you know it all but really you dont.dont think that being in care will solve your problems because it wont.stick with your parents and accept what they say.you will not regret it they love you unconditionally but it is a 2 way street.maybe they are fed up with you but they aint kicking you out.try to resolve your problem by talking to them .in years to come you wont regret it but if you move out you will.

yes go to the local council and speak to them about it. they will put you on the list.
make sure you can cook for yourself tho and that you have money saved up coz the first year is expensive.
