I'm 13 years old and I live with my mom and step-dad I am very unhappy living with them. My dad is dead, my grandparents will not take me in and I have no other family. I get bullied a lot and my mom blamed it on me, I'm bisexual and if I tell my mom she will prouble kick me out anyway. I have a friend who is 17 and she said when we both are old enough I can live with her. What age can I move out with a non realted person. How old does she have to be to take me in. Yes I have thought about this long and hard and I know what is best for me. Please help me.

You can't move out until you are 18.

And if you run away to this friend they can get into serious trouble. If you are having sex with this friend they can be in serious trouble.

If your parents are mistreating you talk to a school counselor.

Whoa! You got it all wrong. I am a girl she is a girl we are not having sex with each other. I am not running away I want the know when I can live with her as my leagel gardeden. My parents do not mistreat me it's how they act about god. I am bisexual and my mom will kick me out if I tell her.

You have to wait until you are 18.

Why 18? I can't stand living with my mom and step-dad what if they kick me out then can I live with her?

No.

Why 18? I can't stand living with my mom and step-dad what if they kick me out then can I live with her?

Because the law says that you are a minor until you are 18. And until then your parents are responsible for you. If they kick you out, they will get in trouble for abandoning you. If you move in with this friend, she can get in troulbe for alienation.

How do you know?

No one under the legal age of 18 can be your guardian. Your parents can't kick you out at your age.

You got it all worng when we get older like when I'm 15 or 16 shell will not be a minor.

You got it all worng when we get older like when I'm 15 or 16 shell will not be a minor.
YOU will still be a minor, under the age of 18.

Your parents cannot kick you out legally until you are 18. If you leave your parent's home before then you will be considered a runaway and this girl would get into legal trouble by allowing you to stay with her.

What's so terrible about living at home? Don't you want to follow their rules?

You don't know my life. I get bullied everyday and my mom said it makes HER look bad. She has never been a good mom when I was 7 she told me that she was going to give me away. I'm a bisexual teen living in a christen home. My mom is never home anyway I see her like 4 times a week. She loves her husben more than me.

Do you understand why I want to move out now?

I'm sorry that you are so upset about living at home, but the law is the law. You cannot legally move out until you're 18.

At 18 you can move out and live on the streets if that's what you choose. Until then you're stuck at home.

Why not make the most of this time? Study hard, do well in school. That way when you're 18 you may get into college, or find a job where you can actually afford to support yourself. It's only 5 years, and you're not being abused at home, so just suck it up and stick it out.

Do you understand why I want to move out now?

We understand, but the law is the law. You asked about the law. The law says that you cannot move out until you're an adult. At 18 you'll be an adult. Until then your parents are responsible for you.

I will not suck it up it might be phical abuse but it is verbal abuse.

I will not suck it up it might be phical abuse but it is verbal abuse.

Then call CPS. They'll come and assess your living arrangements. If they find that you're in danger, they'll remove you from the home and place you in foster care.

Might not be phical abuse but it is varbal abuse. Sorry

Might not be phical abuse but it is varbal abuse. Sorry

Physical.
Verbal.

I understood what you meant, and my advice stands. If you feel you're being abused, call CPS.

Or tell a teacher or school counselor.

Dude just stop I don't want to get my mom in trouble I just want to get out of this freaken house.

You either get her in trouble so you can be removed and put in foster care or you keep quiet and wait unto you turn 18. There are no other options.

Dude just stop I don't want to get my mom in trouble I just want to get out of this freaken house.

No dude, you stop. This isn't the "tell me how to get what I want" forum. This is the legal forum. We told you the law. We also told you what to do if you're being abused. That is the only advice anyone can give you.

I realize that you're not happy with this advice, but there's nothing we can do about that. If you don't like the law, then write to your local congressman and tell him, see if you can get it changed so that a 13 year old that can't even legally get a job, can move out of her home and live with a 17 year old that at best has a part time job at McDonalds making minimum wage. Good luck with that.

Your question has been answered repeatedly. You don't have to like the answer, but it is what it is.

Good luck.

Varbal abuse first I have 7 sisblings 5 living with me no one will believe me and my mom prouble won't get in trouble because there is no evenins.

Evidence?

Well I guess you will just have to learn to live with it for 5 more years.

Varbal abuse first I have 7 sisblings 5 living with me no one will belive me and my mom prouble won't get in trouble because there is no evenins.

First you say you don't want to get your mom in trouble, now you're saying that there's no evidence. Well, that's for CPS to determine. If you call, they'll come over, likely unannounced, and they'll see what's going on in the home. They'll talk to you and your siblings, and also to your parents.

Talk to your teacher, the student counselor, and let them know what's going on at home. The more people you tell, the more evidence you accumulate.

Again, those are your options. Either live with it until you turn 18, or call CPS. If CPS deems your home unfit, you'll be sent to foster care until you turn 18. I have to say, all the people I know that were in foster care, would have much rather stayed with their abusive parents, and their parents were physically, emotionally, and sexually abusive. But those are your options. You have to choose one. There is no option C.

Excess me. If you read the rest of the coments I said when I'm 15 or 16 years old she be 19 or 20 years old. You don't need to make me look stupid. I don't want it you make me look like I'm just acting selfish I need it. So you don't need to be rude about it I asked for help not make me look stupid. If I wanted to look stupid I would ride my stakedbord in school and get iss.

I don't want to get my mom in trouble and there is no evidence two different thing for two different comment. Stop switching around my words.

Again... NO! She will not be able to be your guardian unless you get removed from the home.

We aren't trying to make you look stupid. You are doing a pretty good job of it all by yourself.

Thank you it's that other person switching around my word say saying how I want this. It's nit like I havet thought about this I asked my grandparents if I could live with them and ylthey said no...

Oi! Let's try this.

Answer this question. What is the legal age you can move out? We answered this over and over, so you should know the answer.

So, with that info, tell me, can you move out when you're 15 or 16 to live with your friend of 19 or 20? Are you the legal age at 15 or 16? Close doesn't count. Is 16 the legal age? Read back, because we answered this.

I'm not the one making you look stupid, and none of us are being rude about it. We gave you the answer, and you want to argue about it. The thing is, we didn't write the law, we're just telling you what the law is. If you don't agree with the law, arguing with us isn't going to change it.

SMH

Thank you its that other person switching around my word say saying how I want this. It's nit like I havet thought about this I asked my grandparents if I could live with them and ylthey said no...

How am I switching around your words?

Oi!

Time to close this thread. We've answered the question many times, we've given advice on what to do if the OP is being abused, but this poster only wants to argue.

The law is the law. The answer has been given. Time to close.

I don't know!

Question answered. Thread closed.

gamekid, you cannot move out until YOU are 18. It doesn't matter how old your friend is.

I am going to close this thread. Any last comments? ***J beat me to it!!
