How can I move out at 14?

I am 14. I love my parents very much, but I can’t take living with them. I have anxiety problems and as time goes by, I have more suicidal thoughts. I have places to go where they will take me in until I can fully survive on my own, but how can I convince my parents it’s the best thing for me? or is there anyway I can get emancipated at 14?

Answer #1

Yes, I feel just like you…except I have family issues, and my parents are hell.

I know it’s hard, but just hang in there. There’s not much you can do at 14- but you can try deciding what you’re going to do when you move out at 16. I considered active duty in the army, hoping that I’d be sent to some far-off country, but the army’s not the best choice I’m sure at 16- you’ll need parental permission until you’re 18.

Since there’s no fast forward button (How I wish), I suggest you slowly drop hints and then break the news to your parents about depression, maybe purposely become angry at them to show that living with them isn’t such a good idea.

They might agree to send you to live somewhere else for a while and see how things work out.

Answer #2

You need to talk to a counselor or someone trusted (an adult) if you are having suicidal thoughts. I’ve been there before. It’s not fun. Talk to your parents honestly. You could get emancipated but if there is no abuse or anything you will need a parents signature. You also have to be in school and be able to support yourself and have a place to live by yourself.

Answer #3

Im 14 and I feel the same way; I want out of my house. I dont have family issues or anything.. I just want my own life, I feel mature for my age. But I get worried, when I think about “surviving” on my own. So I’ve come to the conclusion of moving out when im 16. I dont wanna live with another family, I want my own place. My boyfriend will be 18 by then and we can find a small house together or whatever. Theres also an option of moving in with a friend.. whatever works. If not 16.. then deffenitly 18. Im sorry to say this.. but its illegal to move out at 14. (unless with another family) I hope I helped and you take my ideas into consideration. good luck

Answer #4

its always best to speak to somebody you dont know ie. social worker you can tell them how your feeling and they can help you & speak to your parents for you, you cant move out by yourself till your 16, I’ve had suicidle thoughts before but never gone through with them, its just a phase and that what I think your going through, I dont understand how if your parents love you that you would want to move out? but if you really cant cope speak to a social worker xxx
