Im 14 years old and can i move out of my house? My parents dont understand anything about me.?

Answer 1

No you are not an adult. Sometimes it's hard to communicate with your parents but keep trying.

Answer 2

Your parents are responsible for you until you turn 18. The only way you can change that is if you have the money to file to become an emancipated minor. You will then have to prove to a judge that you have the means and the maturity to be on your own.
Do you have another adult who can mediate with your parents. A relative like an Aunt, Uncle, or family friend someone that they respect their opinions. You could suggest family counseling. This will show them you are grown up enough to want a resolution to the problem and are not just a kid going through a faze.
Hang in there I'm sure they love you and want you to be happy. Unfortunately we have all been were you are some of us from both sides of the fence, and as hard as it is right know just keep in mind that in the broad scope of your life that this too shall pass.

Answer 3

There isn't a girl alive who hasn't thought about moving out of home at 14 because their parents don't understand them. And you are right, they probably don't understand you. 14 year olds are so incredibly hard to understand.

I always believe you can teach a child till they are 12 and after that you can only advise them, because their own sense of self survival kicks in. Mum and Dad will lose their omnipotent power and child starts to make her own decisions. 14 is when the reins break and confusion about who they are all bursts out of the blossoming youth , and 18 is when commonsense catches up and they feel comfortable with it. True personality settles in around 30 when they really know who they are and what they want out of life though, I feel.

This is well & good and as it should be, but there are often problems as child starts to pull away if mum and dad don't see it the same way. A mistake many parents make to my mind is to carry on treating their 14 year old as a child and tighten the reins rather than loosen them to her growing independence. A lot of them aren't ready to let their child grow and a lot of others simply don't realise that it is a changing cycle that they should be adapting to. You just think you have the parent formula right then it changes again...

I went through this at 14 and know your discontent. Why don't they stop treatingme like a child. With my own childen I was careful to start supporting them when they started making their own decisions, and letting them grow as independent as they felt they needed to be. Listened to them and suspended judgement.

Now they are in their 20s and I really have more the role of friend and confidant to them than parent, I would never tell them what to do. This does not detract from the respect they give me as parent in any way.

Answer 4

Almost every teenager has thought about leaving their home many times. You're not legally old enough to leave, and that law is set up to protect you, though you probably believe you can take care of yourself.

It always seems as if your parents don't understand you.
However, it's probably closer to the truth that they DO understand you very well, but they are afraid that you're making choices that are not good for you.
They remember the bad choices they or their friends made as teenagers, and want to keep you from making mistakes that will hurt you, too. They probably won't like most of your music, but their parents didn't like theirs, either.
They probably don't like the people you're interested in dating, either, or don't believe you should date because you're so young. That's not that different from when they were kids, though back then kids usually didn't really "go out" or start dating until they were older than they are today, so it REALLY scares to think of you dating.

You need to sit down and talk. Both you and your parents need to be honest, and really, really listen to each other. It may seem impossible at first, but you'll be surprised that it gets easier as it goes along.

Good luck.

Answer 5

You're underage - you cannot move out. You should do as they say until you are old enough.

Here's why -
You're at the age when you know more than your parents and you begin to question whether you were adopted or why are those strange people telling you what to do. I did the same when I was 14.

This is normal, just as normal as hairs growing where they never were before.

Before you know it, you're 18. There are somethings you can do now that will mean a whole lot to you at 18 or 21 years old. You can journal every thing those strange alien people do and say and write down how you feel about it. Keep the diary no matter what and read all of it in 4 years.

Just remember me when you read.

Answer 6

Not at 14. Have you tried sitting down and seriously talking with your parents? Sometimes parents forget that their children are getting older and have ideas of their own. I had the same problem with my mom and dad, but after we talked, they understood that I was maturing and did have opinions and ideas of my own. Now if your idea of them not understanding is wanting to stay out late, date, hang with the wrong crowd or something on this order, then I don't blame mom and dad for not listening. You have to show them that you can be trusted to do the right thing and make proper decisions before they will be willing to let go a bit. Try sitting down and talking with them. Start the conversation by telling them that you have some ideas and thoughts that you would really like them to listen to and that they are very important to you and that they really need to listen. Also tell them that you are growing up and you would like to be treated more like a young adult than a little kid. If that doesn't work, talk with a school counselor and see if he or she can intervene for you.

Answer 7

No, you can't. Your parents are responsible for you until you are at least 18. Nobody understands 14 year olds. It's a rotten age to be. I suggest keeping a journal / diary that you can pour your thoughts into. Find a hiding place if you don't want your parents to read it, or keep it out in the open if you have things in there that you want them to know.

Answer 8

Definately do not move out. Where would you go? Your only 14. Maybe sit down and have a talk with them so they can understand some of your problems. If that dosent work, find a trusted adult to talk to that can help you through your difficult times. Im sorry to hear that its not working out but leaving home at this age will only create bigger problems for you unless your planning to move in with a relative. Good luck.

Answer 9

Your still very young. You cant just up and leave out of your house, your parents can get the law involved. But if your getting beat or anything like that then you need to tell a social worker or guidance counciler and they will get you out of the house. If your parents are willing to let you move out then they arent very good parents because you have yet to learn what all life is about, what having a job and paying bills is about. You need to think about them kind of things.

Answer 10

Do you have a job so you can afford a place to live, pay your bills, buy food, pay taxes, etc.? If not, you'd better wait until you can. By that time I bet that you'll realize that your parents really did know more than you thought at 14, and that they really did understand you and what's best for you growing up. They were 14 once, too, not so long ago.

Answer 11

We 14 year olds are idiots. Wait 4 more years until you plan on moving out. Your parents love you. If they don't understand you than that kinda is your problem. Try talking to them and make them understand you.
