Can i move out at 14? ill be 15 in 4 months. i live in the uk i now its illegal to move out untill im 16 with parents permission but when i was younger i read a story about this surfer kid john john florence, and i read that his mum asked her parents to let her move out at the age of 15 and they did and she went to hawai and everything was fine.
i know it might not be legal but is there anything i can do?
i know ill be able to look after myself and get a job im mature enough. im desperate to get out of here, my life is hell atm.

stick it out.
where you going to work? must be 16 to work for any company. nothing personal, but you are nowhere near as mature as you think you are. the proof of that is that you think you are.
girls on the street at your age soon become statistics. know what i'm saying? your best bet is to live at home til you finish school. college would be a plus.
EDIT: have to agree with the first poster, if you think life is hell now... .

Im going to be blatant... because this is a BAD idea.
I know it seems like life's hard now, but 14 and paying for EVERYTHING on your own will only compile your problems.
You may be mature enough to get a job [everyone considers themselves mature untill they are put in a different state - like living away from home for instance...] - but at your age there are only so many hours available - if any. Jobs are harder to come by than you think, plus you would be on a pathetic minumum wage which simply isnt enough to buy the month's food, let alone the month's rent.
You are also too young to have a house under your name... you would have to have an adult living with you.
Remember you've got schooling too. When your friends are all out partying, you'll be working or staying in because you cant afford to go anywhere.
Social services in the UK would most definitly get in touch with you and your family over this situation. Should you move out and cheat the law, the law will prosecute.
Really, there is nothing you can do right now but try to appreciate life for what it is, think about your decisions and take as much control as you can. Your just not old enough to have full control yet. The years fly... believe me, and life will pick up.
No matter how mature, your too young. Enjoy life while your youth stays with you.

I felt the first movements as tapping but I only felt it while sitting or lying down (I still feel it best laying or sitting). I was only a few weeks ahead of where you are now so it isn't unbelievable to think you might be feeling the baby. I didnt stop questioning if it was really the baby until about 17-18 weeks. Good luck! The most fun (frustrating) time I've had being pregnant was when I was learning the feel of my baby moving all around my tummy. Now my boyfriend gets a turn, he puts his hand on my stomach and says "Whoa! What the heck!?! Wow! What could she be doing in there?!?! Holy...!

Everybody's life is hell at 14! It's a tough age. Chances are that the next few years may continue to be difficult, but do what you can to hold on as long as possible. Think twice about not finishing school. You'll regret it the rest of your life!

For every story you hear about some underage kid moving out and making the big time, there's probably a few hundred you never will hear about some underage kid moving out and becoming someone's sex slave for a while, and when they are found, the body is never identified.
Good luck with that, but I think you'd be better off dealing with reality.

Cant you move into another reletives place? You think that you are mature enough but you're not, it is a big responsibility supporting yourself. Shouldn't you still be in school for one? where will you get the money to live on your own. You'll just be put into care. The only chance you have to get your own place is to have a baby and i absolutely DO NOT recommend doing that!!!

i think you life is your decision but if your life is such a mes there's got to be a less drastic action than moving out, you don't know what might happen and the harshness i think wait a year or two. you could also get your parents in trouble. why not talk to them or anyone else causing your life to be a mess as it might help and unlike mvoing out it has no way of causing you harm.

Read as much travel literature and books on those who have done as you have done. Call and get info on apartment rents, where to squat, communities of squatters, camping and survival skills.
I would ask, I encourage you, a counselor at your school or social agency for advice. Do you have anyone who is responsible, a wage earner or independently wealthy person, with whom you can team up?
Just in case, get info on shelters for the homeless, nunneries, and other communities who will take you in if you decide to get out from the weather and away from those who would victimize you for your young age and gender.

your parents are legally responsible for you till you are 16. Sorry your life is hell but I'm sure its better than life on the streets where anything can happen to you. Think hard about your situation before you leave home.

Don't do it, you're just not ready. Your a kid, live it up while you can! Don't take up all this responsibly when one, you're not ready ready, and two, you will be throwing away the best part of your life! You'll regret this. Finish school, go to college, and move out on your own when you are mature enough to support yourself. Moving now will also probably lead to bad sexual decisions. Please, don't do it.
