Can I leave home at 16?

Can i leave the house at 16? I really need to just leave but im afraid that my parents are going to get the police involved.

Answer #1

no it is not dont listen to anybody else im going through this situation right now do not run away that will only make things worse you can not just run away it doesnt work like that i am in an abusive and neglectful situation so i would know it is very hard to explaine ok you can get emancipated but i depends on the state you live in if there is any laws there to support it but i dont reccomend that are you hit at all are you lacking clothes needs are you to the point where you want to commit suicide,otherwise if these are the cases YOU NEED TO GET CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES INVOLVED if not then your just having a really hard time get over it love your mom cause you only have one mom and to answer your question NO YOU CANNOT LEGALLY MOVE OUT AT 16 THERE ARE NO LAWS STATEING THAT THE ONLY AGE YOU CAN SELDOM MOVE OUT IS 17-18 YOUR MOM HAS LEGAL CUSTODY OF YOU UNTIL THEN

Answer #2

zomg dont be thinging that way.. unless your parents beat you stay at home forever and let them feed you and pay all the bills..jeezz.. if they beat you call the cops and throw there sorry butts in jail.but id say stay home forever cuz real life isnt realy all that fun.. see if you move out at your age theres realy nothing to look forward to unless you can manage to stay in school and then put your self through collage and paying your own bills.. but then lord know what you could get your self into then. FINISH SCHOOL!! then think about moving out of the house.. i mean why do you wanna move out anyway? how would you support yourself? if your counting on someone else to take care of you(like a guy,or even so called friends) youd be making a huge mistake. you need to look at where your going to be in 2, 5, and 10 years and not where you wanna be now. keep in mind that no matter how bad your life may seem in your home they can be alot worse if you chose to go down those other paths. you know, get a job and start working on savings account. set some short and long term goals for your self. gain your independence that way,not by leaving your home and the people who realy care about you. also keep in mind that the people who care about you are not always the people who treat you the best but the people who will push you to do the best you can.. those are the people you need to be around. dont make the same mistakes that so many others chose to make. best of luck to you =) always think befor you act.. in every aspect of life.. think!!
