In the state of Missouri when you turn 17 isn't it true that you can move out of your home and move in with somebody else or out on your own? If you have any other information about laws related to this please tell me.
Thank you.

At 17 years old in Missouri, you are a legal adult and can be charged with criminal matters in an adult court. You are no longer subject to the Juvenile curfew and can move out if you want to.

Here are links to laws dealing with this matter, which is legally called "emancipation of minors":

http://www.senate.mo.gov/99info/house/bills/HB309.htm

Under current law, there is no general statutory procedure
whereby a minor under the age of eighteen can be declared
emancipated. This bill establishes a court procedure and lists
what information the petition for emancipation must contain.
The court must appoint a guardian ad litem for the minor and may
arrange for mediation between the minor and the minor's
parents. The court may enter a temporary judgment of
emancipation that becomes final after 6 months, during which
time the court retains jurisdiction over the matter and appoints
a mentor for the minor. After the judgment of emancipation
becomes final, the court retains jurisdiction over the minor
until the minor reaches the age of 18. The bill also lists the
limited legal consequences of a minor obtaining a judgment of
emancipation.
