I'm moving out, I need to know what is legally mine.
Some say, if it was a gift, its mine.
Some say, if it was a christmas gift or anykind of gift its mine.
Some say, if my parents bought it, its theirs, no questions.
Some say, if my parents can prove they bought it, its theirs.
I need to know what is legally correct.
If they bought it, but it was a gift gift, can I still keep it?
Such as,
a cd,
if they bought it, and gave it to me...
even though it wasn't my b-day or such,
is it legally mine?

You're making such a big deal with taking the less important stuff with you like cds, and dolls and stuff. I don't think you're matured enough to even stay alone away from your parents.

If you have questions about whether you can take something, just ask for it. Parents are usually very generous and want to make you as comfortable as possible. Therefore, they will probably give you whatever you ask for. Even if they bought you a car, simply ask what arrangements did they have in mind when you moved.
Just ask if you can have your bed, the linens that go with it etc. It is usually when we try to demand something that problems occur.
If you having problems and disagreements about these things with your parents you will need to be clear on what you bought, what was a gift and what things you used as a member of the family. Any disagreement over "things" might be best left alone.
Make your moving as pleasant as possible for yourself.

Just take everything but the furniture.
Your parents are probably not going to care about the CDs or any of that other little stuff. They can't possibly have an inventory. Just take it for granted that they are trying to psyche you.
If they really have an issue with these small things, then you need to start planning ahead of your move. Start storing select small things you will need in a box at a trusted friend's house.

If it's in your room and you can pick it up and pack it it's probably yours. Furnishings, such as; beds, lamps, desks, ect. belong to the room even if they were bought for you. If you aren't sure just ask your parents if you can have it. If your parents are saying it's theirs not yours leave it. It's not worth fighting over stuff. Stuff can be replaced with new stuff. Arguing over it will make everyone feel upset.

i don't know if there are actual laws about it. why can't you ask them, "what do you mind me taking with me when i go?" "what things would you like me to leave here?"
