Can I move out at 18 if I'm still in high school?

I turn 18 in november and I was just wondering even though I will still be attending high school will I be allowed to move out? my mom said that I wouldnt be able to but I think she was just saying that so I would move out. please reply back

Answer #1

yes

Answer #2

Yes you can! I moved out about 6 months ago when I turned 18..

But, it is not as easy as it sounds. You have to stay on path when you parents get angry and not back down.

Then you get to pay bills. :- ) That’s not a whole bunch of fun either. But, I wouldn’t do it over. I like being independent.

Answer #3

You can move out but if you are still in School it would be wiser to stay.

Answer #4

Yeah, when your 18 your no longer a minor. Your a young adult. Your mom probably just wants you to stick around longer, because she will miss ya.

Answer #5

Yes. At 18, you can do whatever you want as long as it’s legal. So yeah, you can move out even if your still in high school.

Answer #6

At 18 you are legally an adult. You can move out.

Answer #7

yes when your 18 you can move out your and adult well a young one, im 19 and im out of the house.

sam88ca, wow! you have been through hell and back, and I am very sorry to hear that! I didnt have a very good childhood myself and I had to grow up really fast also. I think that you need to just get the heck out of there. or you qwill go insane. i am very surprised you beared with it this long. If you and you fiance’ are seriouse about the whoel marriage thing, then you should definitely move in together. But one thing i have learned is, you cant love other people until you love yourself. Maybe you could take some classes and realize that your not a bad person, theres always soemone thats more overweight than you, and your fiace’ loves you for who you are, so what else matters? I would just hope and pray that your family will someday get back on track and realize what they are doing is not right, people like that only can change by themselves, and noone else can change them. I really hope that you make the right decision, because it would just make a huge difference in your life. dont worry abotu the weight thing until you are set on your own and happy with the people that you surrounded yourself with. there is no greater way to boost your confidence than to surround yourself with people that love you for who you are. You already have chosen to be different than your family, so keep going, and make choices that none of your family will ever make, maybe you could influence them that way. I always hated the way my mom and sister were, but i just made better choices, and thought to myself, i know I can do this. Me and my brother were the first to graduate from hihgschool on my moms side. So, just getting that diploma made me opne step further. So I hope that you make the right decision, whatever it may be, good luck, and i wish you the best!!!

Answer #9

whatever she said, it’s a lie. I’ve been eighteen since december and I moved out in March with my boyfriend. Once your eighteen, you are a legal adult. If your under, you can still move out, but with parent’s consent. Now, if your parents have you on any sort of insurance, they could be cruel enough like mine, and take you off their insurance. But for the moving out part, you are legally free to do so. Have fun!
