Question

Answer 1

No, you should not move out, you are still a kid. I hope you are still in high school. Obey your parent's rules, this will teach you to respect authority. You will have a good foundation to start on when you do move out on your own.

Answer 2

Trust me, I know what you are going through. I'm 18 and I still get treated like i'm 10. But I am the youngest of 5 so I can understand how my parents are more protective, plus I am a girl so they worrry even more.

Let me tell you this, moving out may seem like the best option right now because you aren't getting your way. But it isn't. Your parents want you to be safe, they care a lot for you.

I tried moving out but my dad was diagnosed with MS and my entire life was flipped upside down. Curfew and bedtime just seemed so stupid compared to what was going on.

So, I will tell you this. If you honestly think that moving out of your home so you can stay up to whatever time you want or stay out as late as you want, then do it. Be prepared to be completely, 100% independent. From the moment you move out, you are now responsible for all your laundry, all the cleaning, the shopping, the bills-it's all you. No more mommy making you dinner or feeding you soup when your sick. It's done.

I know things are tough but put your foot down. You're almost 18 years old and need to start being more independent, but not 100% independent. Good Luck my darlin!

Well i tell you what moving out would not be a smart move.Have you noticed that the price of every thung is going up?Stay cool for a while and try again to speak with your parents .They are not trying to hurt you . They love you their cerfew is kind of weird but respect that .You will be able to undersatand when you get a little while longer ,now if you are getting abused thats diffrent.Chill stay at home and stack your money untill its time to really go.

Answer 4

It sounds like your parents are overprotective but you are only 17 and i don't think you may be ready to be on your if your parents has sheltered you for your whole life i am will to guess you don't know how the real world is constantly pray about this issue and trust God to work it out for you and finish off school and when you graduate consider college or millitary somewhere where you can be independent and still have your parents blessings i hope this help i will pray for you to make the best decision.

Answer 5

before you move out consider this:
They love you and care about you! yeah the bedtime is kinda crazy because I am sixteen and even I don't have a bedtime. The thing is that if you really want a change speak to them differently. Reflect on what you have said and many times you might find that you took out this crazy and (loud) tone on them. The key is to talk in a calm tone to them. Explain to then to give you a chance, that you consider yourself mature enough to stay out a while longer. If they do give you at least an hour to stay out, stay on curfew! Who knows, they might consider to take it away. Seek to be understood! The last thing for thought is, where else are you going to get free rent, home cooked meals (without paying), and most of all LOVE? Most likely, not where you are moving to.

Answer 6

Well, the first thought here would be yes move out... But... you really need to think things through before you move out. First of all, are you going to college? If yes, then just wait and live on campus when you do. If no, then ask yourself if you can afford to move out. If not, then try and find a job first that will allow you to support yourself. You need to cover all your bases before making a big change like that. Right now, you don't pay rent, utilities, phone bill, groceries, etc... etc... So think it through, if all is covered then great! Good Luck :)

Answer 7

They do it because they care about you they grew up in a whole different dayand age we did I remeber when I was 16 and 17 as soon as the sun went down I had to be indoors and I hated them for awhile but atleast as I got older I relized they did'nt want me hurt now that I'm 24 with 3 children of my own I see their point of view so don't hate it too bad and relax moving out will not make it any better everything will be your responsibility and it's not fun trust that, hang in there honey and enjoy it as much as you can.

Answer 8

Well if you're almost 18 then DUH that's the age you're suppossed to move on with your life get away from your parents. I did! It was one of the best things I've done in my entire life! My parents weren't strict, they were just crazy, but yeah, if they treat you like that now, what are the chances they'll change just cuz you turn 18, you are legally able to do what you want, but your parents may not think that, so do what you gotta do and what feels best for yourself.

Answer 9

I moved out when I was 18. You don't move out just because your parents treat you like a kid. You first need to make sure you are financially ready to. calculate how much you make at work minus tuition, books, gas, car insurance, car payments, rent, food, bills. you need to have first months and last months plus all of this in one month and you have to make sure that you don't go broke because when you live on your own those months fly!! sometimes its better to turn in at 9, then work till 12 just to make ends meet *being so young in all* (that's why us college kids go on the ramen noodle diet)

Answer 10

would you be able to financially support yourself for a year if you moved out? (one year is about how long a lease is if you are looking to rent) is your job that secure? you might want to start checking into getting a roommate....you can split the bills in half...you will want to interview people thoroughly to make sure you will get along with them and not be stuck with all the bills if they move out.....there are so many things you need to consider....like electric, cable, gas, phone, do you have dishes, silverware, furniture, curtains, will your parents let you take your bed.......i know it is exciting getting to move out for the first time but it is also really scary when you sit down and think about everything you will need to do and have. Sit down and make a list of things you think you will need and start looking for cheap ones......GOOD LUCK!!!!
