Do you think it is better for an individual to live away from his/her parents so that they can be more independent and freedom? Or do you think it is more important to stay with them as you can get to have more support from them?

It's a trade off. The longer you can tolerate living at home, the more you can save up so it is not so rough getting started on your own. Plus, if you move out, most parents will let you move back if the going gets too tough.
But once you have tasted the fruit of freedom, it is pretty tough to go back. I say stay and save for as long as you can...then fly!

Hopefully you will have support from your parents even when you move out. Before marriage, I would definitely suggest that you live on your own for a while, so you know what to expect. Even if you don't ever plan to get married, living on your own is what I would suggest. I have been out on my own now for a little over ten years, and I can't imagine ever wanting to move back home. Not because my childhood was bad, it wasn't. It was actually wonderful compared to some. But because it's my house, my rules, my way of doing things, my decision to clean my dishes tomorrow instead of today, my decision to stay up until I want to without having to worry if I'm bothering someone. All kinds of things. It could go on and on. If you are in the position, to move out, then do it. If your parents are sick and need you, or if there is some special reason not to move then stay with them. But staying just for financial backing is not something that I would be prepared to do unless I had no other choice. If my children were about to starve, I'd move back in with them, but until that happens, I'm staying right where I am. MY WONDERFUL HOME. MINE. MINE. (Mine is a wonderful word. :) )

that depends on a number of things relle eg how your parents treat you and how old you are. i reckon you gotta move out by the time you get a full time job and so on cos you need to learn to be independant and take care of the bills etc yourself..valuable life knowhow.
if you have mean or controlling parents or are in a long term relationship then obviously the sooner you can get your own freedom the better, but if they are nice and supportive and you got no commitments then theres no rush but at some point you'll need to start living off yourself and not your parents.

Support in what ways? Each persons situation is different. Some people are financially, emotionally and mentally stable that living far away has minor impact on their daily lives. For other like myself (who once lived farther), living close by means that in case of an emergency there is someone able to reach me. There more an individual develops there own base (family, strong relationships). The easier it is to move away. If staying close means staying with in a comfort zone (out of fear), its important and beneficial to break away. If there are other reasons, you have to examine those.

One of the main social problems in todays world is because of innumerable nuclear (split) families - It is a harmful practice in all terms. In the name of freedom & individuality people exhibit their inability and lack of values by having split families.
Families should not be split on the grounds of selfish interests. Only in exceptional cases it is suggested.
The strength of a family which lives together is far better than splited, provided the adjustment in attitudes is from both parents and children.
In essence, living together is to be given high preference.

I live in a dorm at LMU, but i miss my family badly. I miss living on our bog farm with all my siblings, but my parents are not strict. Of course they were when I was a young thing, but now when I go home I have freedom. I never felt like I didn't when I was younger really. But college life is nice too.

Life has taken me away from my family. Not far a couple hours (6 hours round strip or so). It would be WAY nice to be nearer to them, but they choose to live in a rather nasty part of the state. They say this about where we live too lol!

God:
It's always better to live away from Mom and Dad so one can grow up.
Parents (at least mine) will always support you when you need it. Then there comes the time when you use what they gave you and get yourself out of the binds.

your parents can support you from where ever they are! Get away and learn on your own and if you need your parents for a reason you can call on them, but it is not wise to jus hang around because you know that they will give you whatever you want..........you'll never grown up!!
