Can i move out at 18 if i'm not graduated?

I am living at home, and I am 18, I want to move out, but my dad and step mom say no because it will ruin their reputation. I am called lazy because I don't play sports or I don't study like a book worm. I want to move out and live with my boyfriend and...

his family. My dad even calls me a tramp, Zero, stupid, and makes mean jokes about me being slow minded. I am not stupid at all. Infact I know a lot of what they're talking about. They say if I leave they will have me arrested, but I know they can't do that. The only reason I haven't left yet is because I am scare to death of my dad. What can my dad and step mom do to me if I do leave? I know they would no longer have a free house cleaner or babysitter. Yes I am stuck watching my step moms kids while her oldest daughter goes to games, shopping, and out to dinner. They even throw her a b-day party when I got nothing for my b-day. So if I just walk out can they do anything to me or my boyfriends family?

Get your education, ring, and a date.

OK rebelgirl, lets look at each thing one at a time. 1. I am 18, I want to move out, but my dad and step mom say no because it will ruin their reputation. I am called lazy ANSWER: legally, you can move out. get your own place and reside on your own. Cannot speak for boyfriend, do not know his age. Can you move into boyfriends home? probably not, again his age is a factor and why jump from frying pan into fire? You want to live on your own, then live on your own. 2. They say if I leave they will have me arrested, but I know they can't do that. The only reason I haven't left yet is because I am scare to death of my dad. What can my dad and step mom do to me if I do leave? You know they cannot have you arrested, unless you do something illegal. It is the scared to death of dad I am worried about? I would suggest calling a local domestic violence shelter for advice. many times they can provide free help and solutions for you with these difficult problems. You may not want to drag boyfriend into this. Actually you may have tagged onto him as an escape to daddy. The shelter can get you a place, keep you in school, help you with your grades, find you a job and find you support. Keep your chin up and your mind open to suggestions. Remember, I have rarely met a mom and dad who did not truely love their child. AT 18, we tend to want to have it our way (Burger King or in your case Queen MOTTO) Mom and Dad have been around the block... My three rules in life.. 1. Honor God, 2. Honor parents, 3. when all else fail, go back to #1. Will you Honor God? Will you Honor you parents? Boys will come and go, but you will weep and wail at your daddys grave.

yes.

you can leave and NO they can't do a damn thing about it you are of age...they can call the COPS who will mostly LAUGH at them..you have every right as an adult I would say go for it..finish school too though.

As soon as you turn 18 you can leave the house no matter what

your parents can't do ANYTHING! But you should get your education. But you could still get an education and live on your own if you wanted to

nah they can't do anything ... just leave em get a job complete yur education and work hard ... dont stay there continue working for them... prove that your not dum and stupid to your parents. just get out of there .. make sure you educate your self well first ... as you cant do a thing without a proper education. itz your life ... live it.

all the best ,,, may you have guts to do what you want ...
