I'm 19 years old, currently in university. I drive at least 40 minutes a day to get to school/work. How do I convince my very protective parent that it's a good thing for me to move out? I know this is a pretty broad question considering you all don't know every part of the situation...

My school is fully paid for through scholarships. So they're not paying for my school. My car was my grandmother's so they didn't pay for that. I pay for my own gs and expenses. they're only paying my car insurance and my cell phone bill.

If they pay for school, it is their right to tell you where to live. Be glad you are able to live rent free and take advantage of that for as long as you can. I drove farther than that to go to school. Lots of people do.

Since you are 19 and I would presume responsible, I would take my parents to the university. I would show them around. I would show them where I worked and where I was thinking about living.
If there is a residence, you might want to suggest there. It is a time to be more independent and make your own decisions.
Your parents are probably flipping the bill for university so it's a good idea to show them around your "neighborhood" and educate them on what you have been up to and do. This could all be done on a weekend.
If that doesn't work then you can legally make your own decisions and move out. I would stress to your parents that they are not the reason for you moving out but that you need to do this for yourself. To see if you can do it. There is no other safer time to do this than when in post-secondary education.

Tell them that you'll never get the proper college experience by staying at home and commuting. You won't form any kind of attachment to the school, and it will be more difficult making friends (and later networking contacts).
I did both, and I really valued the time away at school, even if I started too young (I was 17 and hated it at the time). I look back on it as an experience I should have seen through. I dropped out my freshman year, then commuted to a school in Houston, then moved away to Texas A&M, then moved back home, then entered the workforce fulltime. I didn't get my undergraduate degree until I was 43. By then, though I realized that it wasn't enough, and jumped right back into graduate school (I was taking grad school classes before I walked across the stage to get my undergrad diploma) to get my MBA two years later.

in the beginning how previous are you and in what grade? That makes a brilliant distinction. I replaced faculties after 6th grade, questioning it would be extra effective. yet, it grew to become into nevertheless so no longer ordinary. young infants hate at that age. I desire I had caught it out and discovered a thank you to handle the rigidity and the themes with my acquaintances. I propose listening to your mothers and dads, as that's probable what they understand too. That it heavily isn't extra effective, because of the fact regrettably, for some years, young infants are purely propose. enormously women!!! i might get entangled in some team stuff outdoors of faculty, so which you're making new acquaintances, yet stay and artwork by way of this. possibly a community theater team or help out in a community center. something efficient, exciting and social. good success and attempt to maintain your chin up!

Find whatever apartment you can afford. Hopefully, you can find one that has some security measures in place. As safe as it's possible.
If you need a room mate, make it a same sex one, and one who has a good reputation.
And then tell your folks that you're moving.

If you're paying your own way, lovingly say "bye", pack up
and move out. Otherwise, reason or beg the parents--
if you're female, cuddle up to dad- he finds it danged hard
to disappoint his little girl.
lots o luck

Get your own car ins. and just move out. Their permission is not necessary. Grow a backbone and be an adult. This isn't hard to do.

well first of all, do you have the funds to support yourself? having said that, just tell them, your old enough to live on your own, its not economically feasible to drive that much everyday and you're ready, prepared, willing, and WANTING to move out. if that doesnt work, just pack your stuff and go! :P
