Im 18 years old and my parents are very strict. They act hard headed and talking to them is like talking to a wall. Especially my dad, he never lets me go out not even now that I am 18. Ive been considering running away with my boyfiend because I just don't feel appreciated here and I need my freedom. Even if I did told my parents that I wanted to move out, they would never approve of it. I don't know what to say to them every time I try to go out they just start scremaing at me and they tell me no. I am very machure and how do they expect me to be ready for the world if they don't let me explore it. Ive been so stressed lately, I feel like I need to figure out who I am but I don't know how. Can anyone give me any advice please, should I just run away or deal with more misery

Do you work? Plan to go to college? Go out shopping or out with friends?
Are you from an Asian culture?

Find another job? Build up a checking account so you can make choices?
Please don't run away with your boyfriend.

If you run away you are assuring yourself of more misery in the future. That is not the answer.
As long as you are in your parents home they will enforce their rules, just or not.
It is a big step , and hard to do, but getting a job and a place of your own is a sure way out.
At least now you have a place to stay while you do whatever you need to do to survive and plan your future.
Try every way you can think of to try to communicate with your parents.
If you can achieve this, solving problems may occur.
Communication is always key.
I wish you well

Thanks but I've tried talking to my parents a million times but they just act like I don't exist, I feel miserable and I'm going to try to find a job so I can be a successful person and move out on my own wheter my parents like it or not

I think you have made a very good decision.
Since you are 18 moving out will be up to you.
This is far better than running away. This has a future for you.
Never give up on your parents, keep trying.
I wish you well
