Answer 2

You said you are 12 years old. I'm not judging. I just have a
question or three. How well do you remember when you
were 6 years old. You know, what you understood and what
you did not understand. Now that your 12 wouldn't you say
that your more than twice as smart now as you were then?
Why do you think you get a little wiser with each passing
year but no one else dose? Going at your rate look at how
much smarter you will be when you reach the age of your
Mother or Father. Count your lucky stars you were permitted
to disagree with anything. I would have gotten a big time
but kicking. 12 more years from now you'll see how lucky
you are and have been. Not teaching you respect for your
elders is the only mistake I see that they made. Stay home
only 6 more years. There's no job out there for a 12 year
old. Trying to live on the street can get you a beating every
few days and even killed. Just be nice and be cool and
the next 6 years will pass by before you know it. I know it
don't seem like it now, as after all, that's 1/3 of your life.
Talk to some old women. tell her how you feel. ask her
advice. Remember! Every few years people get a little
smarter. Calm down and be thankful for the shoes on
your feet, food on the table and a roof over your head.
Since your only 12. you may have to read this over a few
times to understand all I have said. Best wishes and
good luck.

Answer 3

It's possible, but I wouldn't recommend it for you especially at this young age. There is too much responsiblilty in the world and people your age can't really handle too much responsibility, like buying and keeping a house and then you can't really get a real job at this age. If you do move, I hope you go live with a friend and their parents would take care of you because right now, you're a dependent child and you need adults in your life regardless of the fact that you all always argue.

Answer 4

No...not on your own anyway...you'll have no way to support yourself and stay in school. If you're being abused you may be able to stay with a family member or friend but the courts probably won't order it if the only reason is that your family argues a lot. I do understand that it is not a fun family life when you're growing up like this! You can't always change someone else's actions, but a lot of times if we change our actions and our reactions to what others do, in time it seems to have a positive effect on them. Do you also yell and argue with the other members of the family? If so, then try to work on this on your end......answer in a calm way rather than yelling back...even when they yell at your first. If someone makes you angry or is trying to get under your skin, just find a way to ignore it...I have a saying I like to say and I say it to my kids...."choose your battles"...not everything is worth arguing over....I'm sure you see the tension it causes. Sometimes in life it means dealing with things we don't really like, but you'll be surprise how the atmosphere in the home will start to change. For example....is really worth arguing and having a bad night over fighting about your brother/sister taking something without your permission...no...what's done is done....what you have to do in turn is keep things put up or hid in some cases. I'm not saying that is the problem...just using it as an example! Tell your parents that all the tension in the home is bothering you and you'd like to try to work on ways to communicate without arguing.

Answer 5

If you decide to make such a ridiculous move you are very likely to find out that the big bad world is a whole heck of a lot more unpleasant than your family, regardless of how much you argue.

How, exactly, do you plan to make a living? Newsflash: it's not a cakewalk for adults with an education and a fair amount of experience. I suspect that it would be darned near impossible for a 12 year old with no more than a 6th grade education.

Answer 6

Sweetheart when you get out on your own you are going to wish you where back home parents are the best thing in your life right now so be a good kid and listen to them your only 12 you have a long way to go I have a 12 year old son he will be 13 on May 1 and I stay on him and he has not thought of leaving home.It's a mean and cruel world out here, so take your time pray as much as you can and take it easy.Everything is going to work out Good Luck!!!

Answer 7

Well first, i'm 12 too! and i think you should talk to a councelor or a therapist bout this. But if you lived on your own, you could be killed, or even raped by a man that you don't even know!!! Have you tried talking to your parents bout it??? have you talked to your friends bout it??? think before your actions, because once the damage is done, you can't replace, regret, or take back, or redo what ever your going to do. And you have to get an education too, if you want a house and a good paying job. Don't be like those people who live on the streets begging for money and you know what and with no shoes or anything on their backs. Your only 12, and God is telling you not to go on that evil path. trust me, i hate being 12 too, and boy do i wish i was never made, but you should love your family deep deep down inside. email me to tell me what you think! -Hannah- email: [e-mail]

Answer 8

No you can't and you cannot get emancipated either. The only time you can get emancipated is if you are much older, i.e. 17 and you must have proof of a job and all the means of caring for yourself without the assistance of others. This is the truth and the court has stated this. Your only chance is to move in with other relatives with your parents agreement. To move in with a friend or relative without your parents permission would be against the law for you as well as those who take you in.

Answer 9

Where are you gonna go? Your backyard? The zoo? You can get emancipated, but I think you have to be 16 for that and have an actual reason. Besides what are you going to do? You can't drive, you dont have a job and cant get one for a couple of years....There is no way you can do right now unless another family member wants custody of you. Like grandparents, aunts/uncles, etc... then they have to go to court and it turns into a big thing. Just talk to your parents. Tell them you dont wanna argue anymore.

Answer 10

Talk to your family - whichever parent you are closer to, and ask about whether you can get counselling together to work out what is going on.

If you don't feel like you can talk to your parents, maybe find a teacher or guidance counselor at school, or maybe an older friend or pastor or rabbi or whatever at your church or place of worship.

It is completely normal to be arguing with your family at your age, and I promise it doesn't last forever, but if you don't feel like you can talk to your parents, find someone.

Remember that all adults were your age at some point, and almost all kids your age feel like they argue with their families constantly.

It won't be this way forever, no lie, but in the meantime, it can really help to have a close adult you can trust and talk to.

Answer 11

Not and live on your own. You're too young to work, and couldn't get a job making enough to support yourself while you finish school anyway.

If social services saw you needed to be out of that house, you'd end up in a foster home. Sorry sugar...but unless it's quite severe, hang in there. What about grandparents? Are they an option?
