    How can you leave your parents when you're 18?
    Well, my 18th birthday has just gone by and I am hoping that I can go and live on my own. But I don't know how to ask my parents! I know it sounds pretty supid but I need advice. I have got a job and money but I still live with my parents and all of my other friends are in flats. It's quite embarasing. Plus, parents tell you what to do and I have a 9 year old sibling. Can I please have ways to ask my parents.

    Go to your mother and father and tell them you would like their help finding a flat of your own. Get them involved in the process, but don't ask their permission as you don't need it.

    Have them help you prepare a budget to see what you can afford. You may find you can't afford it, but if you get them involved in the process, they will probably be more willing to go along.

    If they refuse or tell you that you can't move out. Tell them you are 18 and do not need their permission, but you value their opinion which is why you asked for their help.
