Is it normal to want to move out at 16?

Okay so here is goes my parents are over potective and always in my face they get mad at me for no reason I'm a girl and my dad has hit me a few times I am a very dependent person I just want to get away from them and when ever they are not around me everything is so peaceful so calm sometimes I just want to get away, they embrasse me and think they own me. Very pushy parents and have to approve of everything this may be toterateble for my other siblings but I cnt stand it I am actually more mature than them I feel like the adult in the house even though i'm the youngest.... Is this normal?

    I left/got kicked out a year earlier than what your suggesting, it was pretty shit in comparison to the growing up I should have had. It had the odd advantage, getting to grips with the drinking scene is something I would never have gotten away with at home but other kids parents were fine with it and it was such a laugh.

  • I felt the same way back then, but after leaving home you soon realize how much you truely need your parents and think of it this way, at least you have 2 parents to go home to

    Yes, it is normal to feel like moving out at a young age. I couldn't wait to move out of my parents house when I was younger. Just to have authority and not follow rules. I already had to pay bills and take head of household when I turned 17, so I knew what it felt like to be an adult. Sometimes I do feel like moving back to my family members house because its hard to struggle and live pay check to pay check. But I realized that I love having freedom and not living with my family nor anyone else except my fiance.

    I agree that living on your own is a very big role of responsibility, but if that's what your determined to do.. you can do it!

    It's normal. I was seventeen when I moved out (I'm almost 20) and my relationship with my mom has benefitted so much from it. I actually call her to talk now adays, and before we were on the verge of killing each other. I was fine and able to live on my own but think hard about the differences. Do you currently do your own laundry? wash your dishes? clean the floors and the tub and the toilet? do you go grocery shopping and remember to take out the garbage? Living on your own has alot of responsibility and it takes a mature person to do it.

    I think it's normal to want to move out and feel free without rules that u find suffocating. U sound like a free spirit and what your siblings put up with doesn't mean u have to but I don't think u should move out, it's bloody hard paying all the rent and bills even If u can have a flatmate it's still hard!

    Obviously you need to do some research on what you going to do if you decide to move out.

    Maybe it's best if you inform your parents of your intentions to move out and the reasons on why you want to. Obviously you will give them time to attempt to sort things out between them and you.

    Remember to do research on things like acquiring accommodation, food, income, etc.

    First, I can garuntee ou are NOT more mature than either of your parents. You are at the stage in life when you think you know everything and that your parents are stupid (too some degree). I think it's normal to want to move out, but I highly reccomend you don't.
