I am 18 and want to move out. I plan to stay with my friend for awhile and get a job at the same time. I have some money already saved up. I live in Arizona and I'm a senior. I have all a's and b's. Am I allowed to? I plan to tell them this Saturday. I can't be here anymore, its too much argueing. They treat me like a kid. They over react on the littlest things, I hate it. And I must say they are not my mom and dad, there my aunt and uncle. But I'm 18 so I can leave right? Please help :(

It's not a matter of can you leave, you're an adult, so yes you can, but can you afford to leave? What if you don't find a job right away? The job market is tough right now, college graduates are having a hard time getting a job at McDonalds, and they have an education.

So, what if you move out and you can't make it on your own? Have you thought about what you'd do then?

I would say while it apears you can, why do you want to.

Why not finish high school and get your degree, freedom from parents is often freedom from finishing things .

Also "money saved" do you have a job, are you aware of all the bills you pay ?

You are allowed to, but it's really really hard living on your own... and I am in my mid 20's, married, and my husband has a good job. If there is any way you can suck it up and stay longer I really do think you should. Once you leave that's it. You could stay there a little longer and keep saving, finish school, get a job, etc. Then be more prepared to move out.
