I think that if you really don't know the answer to this one, you might NEED to stay at home until you're 21.

At age 18, Florida considers you an adult. You can do what you wish - as long as it isn't against the law.
So, pack your bags.
Here is info for you....you can research it if you want...
Legally Moving Out in Florida
Florida's legal age of majority is eighteen. FRC: Title 1 Chapter 1. The exceptions are marriage and enlistment in the military at 17, both of which require parental permission. If there is a legitimate reason for leaving (such as abuse), the teen can contact state social services to aid them in their situation.

If you can join the military at 18, then you can leave home at 18.

18. That is all. Once you are 18, you are legally an adult & can leave home if you choose to do so. Your parents are completely full of it if they are telling you any differently.

It's still 18, but with how expensive it is out there, you're better off staying at home until you know how to take care of yourself completely. (Medical insurance is one of those hidden costs of living on your own--and if anything happens to you without it, you'll pay for it the rest of your life. . . literally.)
