As long as you are dependent on them for financial resources, basically.  Also: in the United States, until you turn 18, you are legally subject to their control in most things unless you are "judicially emancipated" (which is not easy or common).

Honey, I have been there.  I had a 7 pm curfew on weekends when I was 17 years old.  Tell your parents to trust you and if you do anything wrong, then they can take all rights away again.  You can't do no wrong until you try something.  Tell them that you are a levelheaded  responsible 16 year old and that you would like to win their trust, but you won't be able to if they keep you hidden and secluded.  Tell them you will grow up and move away.  Tell them that you will live a sheltered life and it is not good for your health.  Tell them your true feelings and make them listen.  I feel so bad for you because I was there.  Then I turned 17 and moved away from home, had my own apartment while I was a senior.  I had a full time job, gymnastics practice and school.  I did just fine and it taught me how to be mature.  I am not telling you to take off, but I am telling you to talk to  your parents because they may not understand your TRUE feelings and how you want to hurt yourself.  Just think, you will be 18 in a little bit and you will be able to begin your life the way you want and be your own boss.  Don't hurt yourself, because in all honest, it is not worth it.  Talk to the parent you are closer too!  I feel for you, I have been there.  Then I moved to FL.  I moved away so my family would realize what I meant to them and that they didn't have a hold on me.  It doesn't work for anyone, so don't runaway or anything.  I did this all as an adult okay? Let us know how it goes because I am genuinely worried about you!  Good luck!

First of all I am a mother and I still have been overbearing to my 19 year. old but little by little I have let her be on her own, she is a hard worker, and when I was 18 I just moved out without telling my parents, but my mother looked into my purse and found the agreement letter for my apt. So I believe the best thing to do is tell your parents you are moving out on April 15, for example. Believe me they will be Hurt and mad, but if you believe in God. God will take care of your mom and dad. And move out. Later my mom wasn't mad at me any longer. So they will get over it. Just pray when u tell ur parents. But set up a move out date first..They will be upset for a little while so expect that..good luck.. a 50 yrs. old Mother that understands what your going threw..

You are 24 and living at home still.  You hint that you are still home because your moving out would make parents unhappy.  OK.  Will you still be living home when your parents die at 80?  You never plan to travel, marry, or have a life of your own?  Mommy will still be making your bed when you're 40?  Cutting your meat?  Buying your clothes?  Buddy, you need to grow up, move out, and live like an adult.  Otherwise, you'll never have a life.

I didn't realize that was a rule.  If you're under 18, just get your folks to set up an account for you.

I would say its probably your parents. They arent going to want to move just for you.  How far do you live like 10 miles, 50 miles, 1000 miles?  Try emailing, calling, or just moving when your old enough.

The only thing you have to consider is where you are living.  Yes, you're 18 and an adult but if you are still living under your mother's roof then you need to follow her rules.  Still, there's no reason that you can't talk to her like an adult and explain that you would like some more freedom.  The biggest part of this is how much she trusts you.  If you've given her reasons to think that you can make good decisions then you're likely to get what you're looking for.  If you've shown her you can't, she's likely as not to tell you to follow her rules.

at the age your parent feel is appropriate, or 18 cause until then it's not up to you anyway

Sorry, honey, they are your parents. Obey them. It sucks, lots of things in life do, but there will always be rules set by those above you, and, sadly, you must follow them.\nNo one ever said life is fair.

That all depends on what state you are in.  In Texas at 17, your parents can no longer tell you where to live.  Talk to a lawyer in your state to learn exactly what you would have to do.

It is the mother's parental right to make any new boyfriend's life hell.  Now, what age were you when you signed it?  If you were under age, then technically no, it can't be legal.  I don't know the age at which she/you are considered adults in your own community.  When she turns 18, will she be living at home or move out?  If she lives at home, mom's/dad's house rules apply.  OR, maybe certain terms can be negotiated with her parents.  Good Luck!

1) They love you.\n2) They want to be there for you.  \n3)  You are never to old to live with your parents many people do that for many reasons other than financial.\n4) Getting assistance from parents in this world isn't always there for most people.  Take advantage of it until you get on your own two feet and stable sincerely.\n5) I have three children and I love them with all my heart and I would hate to see them in any bad situation what so ever.  I will give them anything I can possibly give within my god given abilities.  \nFor love and only love that is reason enough to accept it and to offer help.  If you do decide to move back in then tell them that you want to help them with chores and other things around the house.  Or just ask if they can be there to support you in any decision you make financially and emotionally.  They will understand They wont be hurt if you are honest and truthful with them.

They just want to be sure they are not going to be supporting you until your 30!  Do you have a job?  Are you still in school?  Collage?  Do you help around the house?  Do you contribute to the household expenses?  If you answered no to any of these then you probably are ungrateful for your parents and all they have done for you over the years and its about time for you to be on your own.

That depends on why, In some states minors 12 and over can tell the judge if their is a reason why you want to stay with one parent over the other. On the other hand if you do not like your mother because she makes you do your homework and doesn't let you do some of the things you want then you should stick with the parent that makes decisions based on what is right not what is popular you will be glad of that 10 years from now.Trust me it isn't always as easy for a parent to not let you stay out that extra hour or let you ride in a car with a friend that has had his/her licence less than 6 months when your are 15 but they do out of love and experance we have done some of the same things our chidren do mistakes included, that fine line between trust and guidence isn't always easy to see we make mistakes too.
