Answer #1

Your 18 years old, you do have the right to move out. Tell them you want to be on your own. You think you’re responsible enough to care for yourself. Tell them they’ve raised you good enough to know rights from wrong, and that it’s time.

Answer #2

Parents tend to be a lot more okay with what their kids do if they see a viable plan. If you tell them you have it all figured out, in terms of finances, that you know what your costs and income are going to be for the next year, that you’ve signed a lease and know what’s at stake, that you’ve got agreements with your friends on who pays for what, who cooks, who cleans, who shops, etc… that you have some kind of a plan for yourself for the next three years, etc… all those things help make a parent feel confident that their child is able to move on.

So, yeah. Share all that information with them and they will not have a problem.

Answer #3

say ther girls but if they find out act surprised too. ur legal to leave so even if they say no u can still leave.

Answer #4

You are 18 years old and can leave if you please, everyone else has pretty much covered that. But before you move out be CERTAIN that you won’t need their help (seeing as how you will be upsetting them when you leave). Think about which is worse, staying with them while you get things sorted out or leaving suddenly and having to come crawling back to your angry parents who will most certainly say “I told you so”.

Answer #5

Well you are 18 so they should be okay with it.
