I'm not allowed to see my bf, the man I love, they don't like him just because, its tearing our relationship apart. I make almost 700 dolars a month. Can I move out on my own? An apartment without utilities is $300-$350. I fight with my parents all the time. I'm wanting to move out because of that not for my bf. I've always fought with them before him..Someone please help.

That's always a good way for people to start out on their own. If you are going to college, then you should probably wait becuase i'm guessing you would be living in a dorm, and most apartments have a lease of at least 6 months, but usually a year. If you're not going to college, then work full time for a few months until you have the money saved up for rent for the first couple months and your car and phone payments. 700 is a pretty goos amount to be making while you're still in high school!

That is if that is what you're set on doing. And then you can move out after you graduate. But you might want to stick with your parents also because they can be a whole lot of help in the college proccess.. If that's what you're planning on doing.

reader, anonymous, writes (19 April 2009): Well, i would REALLY love to know where you live that you are finding apartments for 300-350, first of all, becuase i had to move an hour away to find one for 634.. the cheapest out there... I don't understand what "i paid for my car but my parents refuse to put it in my phone" means... i hope i'm not just stupid. You are 18.. i don't see why you should have to stay at home if you are miserable there. Parents and children have habbits of getting along A LOT better once they have moved apart. If you really feel that you're ready for that.. to pay for everything and live alone and without their help, then i don't see why not. I hope that your boyfriend is apositive contributing factor here and they really do have absolutely no reason for not likeing him, because i wouldn't want him to make anyhting worse for you. Are you still in Highschool? Or did you just graduate? If you graduated then i don't see anything at all keeping you iving in a home that is miserable for you. Just remember that if you do move out, your parents probably do love you, despite how much you argue, so try not to isolate them from your life. You don't want to hurt their feelings or have a bad relationship with then for the rest of their lives. My parents were horrible but once i was gone, they became super parents. Goodluck to you. just follow your heart and do what makes you happy and what is best for you.
