I think that since you will be 18 and things are kind of shaky at home,maybe some time away from each other will be a good thing,..Most family get along better when they don't see each other all of the time..Good luck to you in whatever you choose..  |

Well...you wouldn't be running away...once you're 18 you technically can't run away from home... You have somewhere to go once you do leave home, so go for it  |

if you do leave do it with the knoledge that you said i love you to both of your parents . that way you always leave that door open and you won't have to wonder what else could you have done differently if somthing happens to one of them after you leave. wooden nickel  |

well can you finacially live on your own?? you say you will be 18 next week did you just graduate?? what are your plans for the future... don't move out for the sake of moving out(why pay rent when you don't have to) respect your parents you don't want to leave on a bad light.... becuase if you leave over a fight it will be soo much harder to get in good with your parents again... you don't want to cut your parents out of your life....  |

Well, I wouldn't jump and move in with your boyfriend, sometimes that can be the worst thing to do, because things happen and if you two break up, and you left on bad terms with your parents. Then where will you go? I would suggest maybe getting a job to support yourself, find someone who needs a roomate or something. If you are planning on going to college, stay at home it will be a lot easier in the long run. Hope it all works out. God Bless  |

moving in with your BF is ok but it depends on how your relationship with you BF is.. is he the guy you want to settle down with? how long have you two been dating? do you guys actually have the stuff it takes to live on your own?? do either of you have referances??(most apartments will ask for them... parents CAN be used... but that means keeping good terms with your parents!) do you even have dishes pots and pants and kitcheny items?? the costs of those(even just the basics) can really add up same with TV and furniture |

At 18, everyone goes through this with their parents. I didn't. Consider all your options - don't tell me or advertise. Do you have a job and can you support yourself - rent, food, clothing, medical needs, etc.,? Do you have family to live with temporarily - a grandmother, aunt/uncle, etc.? Sometimes that really works. At 18, a boy friend is usually the last one on the planet you need to move in with or even want to marry. Have to admit (I am 71) and that most of my classmates married right out of high school and all of those marriages lasted. But don't think that is true today. Someday maybe you will be married and have children and when you have a daughter you will know what you and your parents are going through. Be aware adults consider all the consequences. My prayers are with you dear. RAT |

I think that if you do move out taht it should be an independent decision made by you. You probably should not move in with your bf, only because I think that establishing your own independence is very important the first time you move away from your family.  |

Yes. At 18 you should pack up, find an apartment, and learn what it means to create a life of your own. Give your parents some peace LOL. Unless kids are handicapped, they should all get the heck out and find a life. LOL  |

I moved out when i was 17, because my parents threatened to kick me out....I don't wanna say "go do it", because it is very hard to get on your feet(even when your a legal adult). but i don't wanna say "don't", because sometimes you just need to do what you gotta do....so i would say go with your heart, and whatever you decide work hard at it and remember, you always have your friends here at USM!!! *hugs*....Darkangel-1  |

Take time to cool off. You should not leave home. You will always have differences with your parents. Look, you only have one set of parents,love them and show them respect. One day soon you will be on your own and you will find that above anyone else, they will always be there for you,always!!the one who leaves home to set the world on fire often comes back for more matches. Be not like the cock who thought the sun rose to hear him crow!  |
