moving out at 16?

My mom always says we couldnt move out until were 16 Im 15 now and my b-day is feb 16th although I didnt realy give a s**t of that I just wanted to be able to get my liscence and I was kinda kicked out of school but not technically yet there making me do home schooling on the computer and its boreing .

I was wondering what I should do I do? Stay and finish school or move somewhere and finish later btw I live right in south central canada (saskatchewan). If I were to move I was thinking like somewere in bc or like toronto or the u.s but not sure where in the u.s.

any ideas if any of you have left home at an early age lemme know what you did after you left id prefure to move but not shure about living arrangements or money or vehicle I was thinking of getting my bike liscence before I move then just buy a bike so its cheaper for gas. Yeah now im just ranting well give me ideas and share your story or w.e btw I was in a hurry so grammer is probably shitty. and btw if I do move out I do have the intention of finnishing school just later.

stay at home. If your parents are not beating you then you just need to get your crap together. Every advantage you can ever have is by having your parents on your side helping you even if it is letting you stay at home not paying rent. It does not matter how hard core your parents are.

Why should you listen to me. I moved out when I was 18 because I could not do the things my friends could. It was the BIGGEST mistake I’ve ever made. I could not aford to go to any type of school to get any kind of skills and did not have any resources to make anything happen in my life. And I got into trouble because I couldn’t make money on the up and up. Its about money, resources, options. OPTIONS, OPTIONS, OPTIONS. Like someone helping you with tuition, rent, car insurance. Do some research on what your life will be like without help. Otherwise get used to working crap jobs and not making money and not having anything you want.

Answer #2

I would personally stay home and finish school if I were you. I did not move out on my own when I was young, but I did move out as an adult (20 years old) and I did find it quite difficult. I know I would have struggled badly at 16.

Another reason why I suggest you finish school first is because finishing school “later” often doesn’t happen for those who put it off. People get so tied up in trying to make a living that they do not have time or the resources to go back. With no education you can’t make a huge sum of money, so you’d be struggling even worse than if you were to wait it out and finish.

Staying home for now has a lot of advantages, even if it doesn’t seem like it right now. It will get less boring, and I’m sure you’d look back on the decision and be happy you made it, if you do make the decision to stay home and finish.

Good luck with this, I hope I helped.

Answer #3

if I were you I would finish school first then move FAR away

Answer #4

Well I think that you should just stay home where you r at I mean its only about what a month away until you r 16. Just get that stuff done and then you r all set. Hopefully, you make the rite choice.

Answer #5

Leaving home and school right now - would be a decision that will haunt you the rest of your life when your stuck at minimum wage jobs and have no life of future.

Stay home, stay in school, and learn to respect your parents, behave in school, and deal with life rather than just running away from it.

Answer #6

I dont understand why do people move out??? what is wrong with living with your parents??? why do you wanna live alone goddd I mean dont get a wrong idea I respect your though… its good to depend on yourself but we still need our parents… ( I will never move out .. till I get marry)

Answer #7

obviously all you retards that say “stay home with your parents, its better” havent lived the life of a kid that wants to leave home. my dad beat me as a child, and he fucking told me he wanted to send me down to child services. im moving out, im 16. I work full time at mcdonalds and im doing just fine. its awesome knowing that you dont have to listen to those fuckers that yell at you at ‘home,’ if you can call it that.
