ANY question on law needs to include your general locale as laws vary by area.

If you are still in HS you may not be able to move out until you graduate.

His parents should be ashamed, even discussing or allowing you to move in, without talking to your parents first. How sad, does no one follow proper moral acts any longer.

Just how bad, what is really happening at home, just don't want you to date this boy perhaps

Fr_Chuck. um excuse me. who are you to tell me anything like that. you clearly do not know that i am living in a very controlling environment. i am an adult. i make my own choices. maybe you dont understand that my living situation is making me depressed. i am oppressed from doing anything i want to do. I get screamed at and cussed out for being out of my house with my friend for two hours. think before you make ignorant statements. I can date who i want. especially him. the only reason they do not like him is because he has tattoos and a motorcycle. but he treats me like a queen. he has never done anything worth hating him for.

Listen...this is life...when you are old enough to graduate...get a job and support yourself, then you get to make your own decisions.. Hopefully you will get some maturity before you ruin your life. I haven't seen a shred of any in your post.

I mean cripes just listen to yourself...he can't even support himself yet...he's mooching off his parents. He has money for tattoos adn a motorcycle...but not his own place...does he even have a real job?

I got to tell you this but Fr_Chuck has forgotten more in the last 24 hours about life than you even know yet. So have I.

Yeah..its going to tick you off to hear this...but you are acting like a child.

Your parents are the only ones exhibiting any common sense.

I see you having a kid....and Mr. Perfect not only not supporting you or it...but he's off doing it to someone else inside of a year if you don't drop the attitude and listen to people that have a far better grasp of reality than you do.

again, i have an attitude for good reason. He earned all the money his family has. He professionally raced the motorcycles and made millions. thank you very much. His dad is 70 years old and retired he can not work. so he does not mooch off of anyone. he takes care of his disabled dad. that is what his job is. He's entering the army. he has a life. and i have my own. i have a better grasp on reality than my dad does thats for sure. there's a difference between being protective and being emotionally abusive and controlling. if i dont like the situation i will remove myself from the situation. so YOU drop the attitude since you are not even answering my question.

You are the one with the attitude here...and no I'm NOT going to drop it because every single . child that had an attitude like you have I have ever known, has seriously screwed their life up. Not just a little but a lot. And I see a child not an adult when I read that.

Amazing how much you think you know, and yet how utterly clueless you are about everything.

Gee, how unique you are to be gifted with such expertise without ever having lived on your own. You must be the first 18 year old in history that has everything figured out before they have ever been on their own.......(I'm being sarcastic because NONE do)

Its not too late to listen to people that know far more than you do....and that includes your parents. You haven't made mistakes that can't be fixed yet.

One of the first life lessons you have to learn..is you have to learn how to give respect before you deserve any in return. And that starts at home.

If you can't even respect your own family...then you can't respect others, and you thus don't deserve any in return.

Personally you can jump off a bridge if you want, or step in front of a bus...you have to live the the consequences of your actions...I'm giving you solid advice before you get yourself into a mess you will never get out of, and alienate the people in this world that care the most about you....and its not Mr. Tattoo, its your own family. He can turn his back on you and walk away as easy and fast as he can snap his fingers. And he will at some point. The only people you can count on in life is yourself and your family.
