How old are you? If the argument is about house rules then you need to negotiate with your family. You need to show yourself as mature and able to make rational decisions. Most arguments in families do 'blow over', so think about what it is you want to do. It is cheaper to live at home than on your own. If you want to move out don't do it in the heat of an argument. Save and plan for it, look at where you would like to live. Find out how much everything will cost you eg rent, electricity, etc. Make up a budget of how much you will need for your basic welfare needs that are provided 'free' at home now. Food, hygiene products eg soap, washing powder. Also, you need to look at how much work you DO NOT DO AT HOME. Because when you move out of home it will be your responsibility.
I was forced to leave home at 16 with nothing after a 'family' argument. Since then I have been married 3 times, had 4 children and I have never really had anything to call mine in the way of my own home or the stability of living in one place for any length of time. My present employment has been the most stable influence in my life and I only got it because I went to Uni in my 30's and got a degree.
I started off by renting a furnished room, I am still renting only difference is, it is my furniture that is in it. I have to accept that the Landlady will not do any more than the barest of repairs and my rent was raised $20's a week because I fitted a small air conditioner in my lounge room. So think long and hard before you move out as freedom can come at a high cost if you have not planned for it.

it's perfectly normal to be so upset with your family that you want to run/move away. Unfortunately that solution is not always feasible.
My suggestion: go to your room, do what you need to do to calm down, then think about what made you angry. If it helps, write it out as well. Then, when you've calmed down and feel you can talk about it, go back to the family member that upset you and tell them why.
When argueing, try (it's very difficult) not to accuse the other person. Instead, stick to "I feel" statements.
For example: Your mother comes home and starts yelling at you about not doing the dishes. Instead of yelling right back at her take a deep breath, and tell her "I feel like you're attacking me when you yell." See how that works.
On a different vein: you come home late, parents are up waiting for you and start yelling. "I feel like a child with such an early curfew."
Have no illusions about it, it'll be hard to do. But try, and remember, they're family.
I hope this helps.

Wow! I'd say that probably just about everyone feels that way at sometime or other. But, you need to be practical. You need to be of legal age to live alone in this modern world; you have to have life skills, including being able to support yourself. Even if you have money saved up, savings is a one-time thing; once you spend it, it's gone. With a job, you can spend each paycheck. Perhaps you can patch things up by having a candid talk, or get a friend, relative or religious figure to help you.
Take care and good luck!

Well its really hard to say because not all families are the same and not all have the same problems. The truth is everyone suffers in a family when some members dont get along but if u hold on strong u can make it trough.

Yes, i go through it all the time but sooner or later the feeling passes and something good happens to take your mind off of it.
