or they still support you all the way?

Kind of, my mother moved out of town and I had nowhere to live so i got an appartment and paid for it myself. It builds character to have to depend on yourself ast such a young age.

I got the hell out of there when I was a few days away from turning 18. My parents said I could stay as long as I liked but I wanted to go and have a life without them breathing down my neck. I moved out and got a flat in the outskirts of London and became and film student for Queen Mary College. I am a heavy smoker and drinker and I know my parents wouldn't approve of my behavior. I am also Gay and they really didn't like that either. It is good to have freedom and be able to smoke and kiss your boyfriend in peace.

Are you kidding? I moved out when I was 16 and went to work. The folks had this *my house;my rules* idea. I understood their point, but did not wish to live with it.
I went to work and eventually got my GED.
In the USA, your parents are required by law to support you as long as you live at home and are in college until you are 23 years old. If you have the internal fortitude to be able to obey all the rules, you can go to college and live with the folks for the next five years if you live in the USA.
My folks, especially my Dad, were very supportive right up until Daddy died two years ago, when I was 48 and Daddy was 92.
My best wishes to you.

I was required to have a job and pay for my own insurance, gas, and extra activities. I choose to move out because I wasn't getting along with my parents long before that. And after graduation and age 18, and your parents tell you that you are grounded, you tend to not want to be there anymore. I'm sure if we hadn't fallen out that as long as I was covering the above said items I could have stayed through college. But I moved out worked full time, put my self through college and have been a fully functional adult since a month after high school graduation.

No but they expected me to either go to school and work part time or to work full time. They said that based on which of those options I chose would determine how much the amount of rent I had to pay would be. Futhermore, I would continue to do chores around the house, be expected to clean up after myself, and if I wanted clean clothes wash them myself. They also let it be known that if I wanted to go in on groceries with them and take turns helping to cook meals then that was okay but if I didn't then I would be responsible for making other arrangements.
Now, alot of that sounds harsh but alot if it was based on if I chose to work full time. So it was more or less an incentive to go to school. It was also a way to insure that whatever I chose I would learn responsibility and what it meant to be an adult. They wanted me to realize that turning 18 is more than just "Hey I can do what I want now". That was true, I could. But I still had to respect that this was their home and I was welcome to live there with less restrictions albeit more responsibilities than before. Also, while they may have different ideas about how things should go it was their home and if I wanted to do it all my way then I would have to do just that. All my way and all on my own.
All in all it worked out pretty good, there was a bit of an adjustment period but it was still a good arrangement for all of us at the time.

My parents never asked either my brother or I to move out at 18. They felt that as long as we were working and/or going to school that we could still stay at the house. No rent was collected but we still did our best to help around the house. We had our freedoms but respected the fact that we still lived under mom and dad's roof.

No. But my dad wanted to charge me so much rent per week that if I could afford it, I could have afforded my own appartment....luckly my house was so crowded and my dad was enough of a jerk that me and my boyfriend got an appartment...looking back, I have no idea how we afforded what we did....but neither of us could ask our parents for help, the offer just wasn't there...and we made it. It wasn't easy, he rode a bike to work for a long time, sometimes I'd drop him and the bike off in the morning then when we got some credit, I cosigned for a motercycle for him (that was hell in Florida summer rain, but at least he didn't have to peddle anymore) My car broke down and we called my dad once, he wouldn't even come to help us, we had to call a cab, and both of us were watching the meter praying it wouldn't go over what we had in the change jar at the appartment....That was 17 years ago.....If your parents cut you off, could you make it? Could you figure it out? We didn't have a choice back then.
