Moving Out At 16

thanks for all the great advice! i just hope that the worse does not come out of this! oh by the way i turn 17 in november! Thank you all love sxc_kayle_1989

Your mom probably will change her mind. She does love you and probably does’nt want you on your own at a young age. Just wait a while and see what she says when it is time for you to move out.

When i was 16, my mom turned ill and we had to move with relitaves. She moved with her sister whom i couldnt stand so i moved in with some friends. I turned 17 May 1999, and quit school, moved with my boyfriend and got a place and a job. My mom soon come to live with us, as she was still ill and could not work. She was there a week and she passed away. I am 23 now and will turn 24 next month, married, two daughter’s, and own a beautiful home. I received my GED and things are good! ( My point ) Dont get down, God always provides a way. Sometimes it really seems unfair to begin with but it will always work out!!! Good luck!!!

Is it even possible to move out at 16? I mean trust me I’ve been wanting to move out too but that’s the one question that always stops me. I mean I have enough money to do so, but wil they allow minors to stay somewhere by themselves? Think about that one. But if she truly does kick you out of the house then there are always friends who I’m sure will be more than willing to take u in for a while at least. And then u can do what you want from there. Oh and when are you turninig 17? Because I think at age 17 you will have a bit more freedom to do certain things as opposed to being 16 and trying to move out

heya ummm u no wot u gta do is think abt sumthing 1stly if you want to leave if yes then think is there anywhere u can go.. or not ,if u reali want to stay then tlk to your mum it might just be that you got her reali annoyed, shes your mother she doesnt want you to realy go it most proberly ment that you reali annoyed her or she was reali annoyed befor and just took it out on you talk to her. hope it goes well for you :) Gurps

Look, you should explain to us whats wrong. We can help you. Your mom wants you to move out at 16 eh? Have you done anything bad to her? Or has she done anything bad to you? Have you been doing drugs? Is she an alcoholic? Consider talking to your teacher, > colledge, high school teacher < … But for my advice, if she is troubling you… abusing you… MOVE OUT. Ask some protective friends if you could stay at there apartment, ask relatives and everything. Contact me, I can tell you more, I have a lot of advice. Goodbye…

being sixteen and moving out on your own isn’t everything that it is cracked up to be … I know this from experience. This is my story … at sixteen I moved out of my parents’ house and in with a friend of mine from school, she was 17 and her mom had put her out. We didn’t have anyone telling us what time we had to go to bed … so we stayed up as late as we wanted to, had parties whenever we wanted, which turned out to be most every night … started failing my classes more than what I was while living with my parents … got a job to pay rent and buy food (wasn’t much food in the house as most of the money went to rent and other bills) that sucked big time. Ended up getting pregnant and having a miscarriage (interestingly enough, I was a virgin while I lived with my parents). Guess being out on my own really opened me up to a lot more than I bargained for. I ended up dropping out of school because I didn’t want to have to move back in with my parents, who I knew were just waiting for me to come crawling back. In the end I did go crawling back and to my surprise, my parents took me back with open arms and after having lived (or not) on my own for ten months, my parents appeared to be much wiser than I had given them credit for before I chose to venture out on my own just because I felt they were annoying and trying to get me to live up to my potential. Today, I am in my third year of college and looking forward to going to medical school in 2010 (on my way to be a phsychologist, who would’ve guessed that). The lessons that I have learned, I could have just learned them a lot easier if I had just listened to my parents and not rebelled against their parental control over my life …) Thank you Mom & Dad, for your love and support through a most difficult time, I know you never thought you’d hear me say those words to you, especially after all the mean and ugly things I have said to you all over the years, but I now know that was just immaturity and rebellion talking. I love you so much mom, and Dad … I just wish that you could be here today to see your little girl becoming the woman that you always wanted her to be. I know that you are watching me from heaven though … even though you may not have been perfect, I love you perfectly today. I miss you so much, I wish I could have had more time with you, and mom, I promise you … I will cherish our time that we spend together for the rest of my life.

hey i dont know who you are but i am 16 years old and am struggling if you can work it out with your mom but if not seek legal advice ive asked like a billion questions and have got no answers and am still waiting to receive them if you have another family member that you want to live with take legal action prove that you are in a neglectful situation IF AND ONLY IF YOU CAN PROVE THAT YOU ARE IN DANGER if you are not it will be thrown out your not old enough to move out legally the only other 2 options are to get emancipated which i dont know if your state has laws on it or move into a family members home which if your mom agrees to which she most likely wont you might have to get your selected family member which you want to seek residence with involved in once agian legal action do not feel bad i am going through the same thing and i gotta tell you it sucks i love my mom but she is also vebally abusive dont let any other idiot tell you its easy it isnt and never is i hope this has giving you some what of a path to chose..

I am not sure why your mother is acting like that. It sounds like she is fed up or something is bothering her. Are you rebellious or is your mother just mean? It sounds like you both need counseling. I would suggest calling an attorney for advice. Your mother is responsible for your actions until you reach 18 years of age. Maybe you can explain the situation to an attorney and maybe he can give you some suggestions. It is possible that you could take your mother to juvenile court because she has been neglecting you and it is possible that the judge could order your mother to take parenting classes or order counseling for the both of you - you are not 18 yet. It is even possible that a judge can find you another home. I think your best bet is speak with an attorney for advice. Your mother putting you out is serious. Until, you and your mother can work things out it may be best to move out - if she has not changed her mind by then. Sometimes, people say things that they do not mean and late regret them. Also your mother can not tell you that you can not move in with your other family members because it is their house and their decisions whether or not you can stay with them. If your grandmother is alive, try calling grandmother. Sometimes, grandmothers can be helpful in intervening in family disputes. Sometimes, grandmothers will let their grandchildren stay with them. In order to make things work between you and your mother you both are going to have to work things out. If you have been rebellious, then you should think about the impact that it has had on you and your mother’s relationship.
