Stay home. Smarten up. Stop arguing. Get into an anger management course. If you are in school, check at the guidance office, they can reccomend a place where anger management classes are held, and are usually free for students. Moving in with a friend always looks better, but most times it is not at all. Good luck to you. Start by telling your parents you are sorry. After you think long and hard at what the argument was all about. Probably something stupid, right?

well...i had the same situation a couple of years ago... i was around 17 as well but i didn`t have a real place where i could move. if i would have had it...
the point is: i`m 21 now and i am getting along well with my folks... and i still live with them cause i don`t have enough money to move and still have a good life...we still argue from time to time but it`s not not such big fight as it used to be...
the things will change in a couple of years... i remember that back then i was really hating them...
are you sure that u can live on your own? I mean money, laundry, cooking, shopping, school/job, etc? well if u can do that and still enjoying life, i say that u should go for it
if not, try to stop thinking so much about your problems and think about that: they will solve by them selves within a few years...
moving from home it`s a huge test for your maturity and for your own self esteem... but before taking a decision, ask yourself: they are still my parents. Don`t i want them in my life? they can really be a help sometimes and a huge stress some other times..still, they are your parents. Try to imagine yourself without them. Will you be happier this way?
Think well about this... and well... you can try for a week or just a couple of days, at home, to act like you are living alone... do all the things that you have to do for you... and you can tell them that you want to try this... they will do see it as a maturity proof
after a couple of days you will realise if you are able to move away or not.
and if you are, you may do it, and repair your relation, with your folks, in time...
best of luck and best of ... thinking!

It is completely normal to fight with your parents. Do not pack your bags and leave. No matter how independent you think you are, you are still going to need them someday for something. I would advise you to let you and them calm down then try and talk it out. Not to mention, living with friends gets old fast, especially if your friends still lives at home.

okay first off without knowing the issue I can't really tell you what to do. However if you calm down and rethink the issues at hand, I am sure you can come to a compromise with your parents. I moved out when I was 17 and didn't move back in and now I regret it because my relationship with my parents suck!

don't most all teenagers get mad at their parents and want to move out at some point? leaving is not a solution and what you are experiencing is normal. one time my dad sat me down and made me write down all my expenses (then finished the list when mine was very incomplete) then he reminded me of my allowance, which i wouldn't have if i moved out AND pointed out to me that i didn't have a job. he asked me what my plan was when i "got out in the world" and how i planned to support myself. i thought about that for awhile and realized that maybe life at home wasn't so bad after all. don't forget that you will be out there on your own SOON ENOUGH and it isn't always so easy. at 17 your days are numbered at home anyway. if you really want to leave, then at least take the time to have a good plan... get a job, save some money, don't leave angry....

Listen to what they have to say. Be glad you have parents that give a crap about you..
