world war 3 is gonna happen if I stay

how do I tell my mom that im not happy at her house…im 17 and am legally able to choose to move out on my own…I have a job at a daycare center and still in high school. I have tried to convence my mom into letting me move in with my sister in alaska…but she said it was to far away. I am always away from home…I hate being there. all my family does is fight…I cant do it…I take on extra shifts and days to advoid being at home and when I don’t work I stay at a friends house…how do I tell my mom that I want to move out?

Answer #1

first of all I suggest maybe trying to tell your family how you feel when they fight. not lettin them know why you wanna move is probably one of the reasons your moms worried. if you do feel you absolutely need to leave, maybe start off just living with a friend or somewhere closer. alaska really should be a last option considering you would have to get used to an entirely different place,get a new job,and a new school.hope I helped^_^

Answer #2

I would try and sit her down and tell her everything that you have put down here. Tell her that you feel that you are mature enough to live on your own, and give examples of how you support yourself, such as your job and extra shifts. But before you do any of this, ask yourself if you are independent enough to live without any financial support from your Mum.

Good luck!
