I've been dating my boyfriend for two years now and during these year my relationship with my parents went sour not because of him... well they treat me as a slave no kidding either they just want me at this house because I keep the house clean and cook and if I 'am gone they won't lift a finger I have to come home to a dirty house and have to clean it up... plus they put me in bad credit because I shared an account with my parents and every time I have money in my account they take it so I told my boyfriend and his mother the situation and they told me to leave the house and come live with them but I wonder if my parents can report me as a runaway because I 'am in school... and I know that moving in with my boyfriend isn't a great idea but we been going out for two years now and I feel its getting stronger

No your 18- you're an adult now.

I do however have some questions and suggestions for you:

•Close that bank account that you have with your parents and open another one for yourself.

•Does your boyfriend know about this plan of yours?

•Where are you going to live? How are you going to pay rent if your still in school? How are you going to pay for the bills?

•Why do your parents not like your boyfriends? Have you tried talking about it like adults?

Since you're 18 now. You are an adult. They have no control over you. You are in control of your own life, regardless of whether you are in high school.

But mudweiser is right, you'll need to detatch any links you have with your parents, especially the financial links (i.e. bank accounts, cell phone bills, credit cards, etc.)

If you are scared that your parents will come after you and abuse you, then you should consider going to the police station to get a restraining order. But let's hope that it doesn't come to that.

-yes my boyfriend knows he was the one that advised me to leave and live with him
-well I will live with my boyfriend and in my school you can get half day as long as you have a job and that how I would pay my rent by the money I make
-yes I have spoken to them and they told me I 'am not old enough to do any thing and that they would report me

As the others have stated you are a legal adult and you can move out if you wish but I would also suggest putting heavy thought into if you are mentally and financially ready to stand on your own without your boyfriend and his family. You may have a plan at the moment but relationships can go sour, even when it feels like nothing will ever go wrong and then what will you do? Since you are an adult your parents will not be required to take you back into their home.

Make sure you have a solid plan!!

I agree with the others but don't just runaway I just found out my old neighbors daughter ran away last year at 17. I know her mom must be frantic.
You can't be reported as a run away because you are 18 but you need to make GOOD solid plans that aren't going to fall apart on you and leave you in a bad situation.
