How do I tell my parents I am moving out? And, moving in with a boy not a boyfriend. We are Army buddies we have been friends for 6 years or more. I'll be 18 in February still in high school. He is 17 will be 18 in May. I have the money to move out. I have 3 jobs plus the army. He has the army plus 1 job. How should i tell my parents? I'm a junior in high school. Please Help

Uh... the only result that I can see is there being a big argument (applying this to myself if I were to tell my parents this situation) with me ending up being kicked out. If you are a junior, hopefully you are not trying to move out right when you turn 18. I also do not get how you have 3 jobs, the Army, and school unless Army is school, the jobs are not all on the same day (or they are shorter periods). Maybe you should just ask them about their thoughts if you were to move out, that way it at least starts out smoothly and maybe it'll end in a civil manner.

Just go up to them and tell them you think its the right thing for you right now, that its going to make you feel more independent and you need that so you can start your life as a grown up, you are going to be 18 pretty soon so it makes sense. Tell them you trust you guy friend very much and that he is a really good friend and since you`re army buddies then you guys have a lot in common...

Before you make any decisions concerning new living arrangements make sure that everything is understood right from the start, between yourself and your friend. It's hard to say just
how to go about telling them, because I don't know what they
are like. One thing is certain, honesty is always the best policy.
I think your best bet is at the dinner table, toward the end of the
meal when contentment is beginning to set in. Just lay out all the
cards on the table face up, be honest and take it from there.
It has always been my experience before I was married, that
roommates always interfered with my privacy (which I didn't like).
Good luck, and I wish you all the best.

Why do you want to move out already? I would stay at home until you graduate at least. Being on your own isn't as easy as you may think. I moved out at 18 too, but if I had it to do over again I wouldn't have rushed it.
If you feel mature enough to move out, you just need to say "mom, dad, I think it's time for me to be an adult and get my own place" and go from there. Speaking as a parent and as someone that lived it, I would try to talk my kids into staying a bit longer though, so don't be surprised if they do the same.

First make sure that it is REALLY what you want to do!
Then I would sit down with them & explain that you feel like your ready to be own your own. That you have a friend from the Army that is willing to move in with you.
Be sure to tell them that it is a guy, otherwise they will be feel betrayed.
However, if I were you, I would stay put. I moved out early & couldn't WAIT to move back in with my parents when I was 17.
I wish you lots of luck though!! :)

almost the same thing happened to my older sister when she moved out except she was 18 a senior she had a daughter and she was moving in with her boyfriend. what ever you do don't write a note. your parents will be pissed if you do this
try telling them when they are together and in a good mood.
sit them down for a talk and tell them face to face like the adult they would expect you to be
but don't tell them till after your birthday they will be less mad
good luck i hope this helps

Talk to them and tell them that you're moving out. If they say no and refuse to let you go, tell them it's like you going to the army and be reasonable.

My reccomendation would not be TELLING them. Why not try sitting down and TALKING with them about it? A novel proposal I know....but trust me...as hard as it is to believe....you're parents know a thing or two and would love the opportunity to share them with you.
