Can I move out at 17 if I drop out of school?

Where are you going to go at the age of 17? Finding a good paying job at that age is going to be difficult, if not impossible, and I’m talking about a job which will pay for all the necessities…rent, food, utilities, car payments, insurance, gas…all those lovely things adults have to pay. Without an education, the task becomes even more difficult.

If you’re 17, you’re probably not that far off from finishing high school…why not try to stick it out?

If you think you’re stressed now, just imagine how it will be out in the real world when YOU have to take responsibility for totally supporting yourself.

Stay in school. Get an education. You won’t be 17 forever and the day will come soon enough when you HAVE to make your own way.

Best of luck to you!

U serious? good luck at McDonalds

To own a house one must be 18 years or older, you can drop out of school, however I don’t request it since you may be in your last year and once you graduate at least you’ll have 3 options; get a job and move out, go to college and try to stay at a dorm so you’ll be away from your mother, or move out and pursue a dream you may have that doesn’t require any further schooling. Anyway i strongly suggest further schooling, getting a college loan isn’t hard and even going to a community college for two years and then a university for the second two is a good idea to at least have a college degree in something. If you were to be able to do that i wouldn’t be surprised if your mother was proud of you and the animosity between you and her was extinguished. Best of luck -JL/BC
