Should I move out?

Question

Hey guys! I am going to turn 18 soon and I am a senior in high school. My parents and little sisters have been bugging me a lot and I feel as though I can't take it anymore. My mom and I always fight (about little things) and it ruins my whole day. I am not the type of kid that hates their mother over an argument, I love my mom with all if my heart and I would do anything for her but I can't take it anymore. Especially since I am going to college next year and I really need some peace. I share my room with my sisters and They are so annoying I cannot focus on my school work. I do get my work done but it is hard to stay focused. And I do my homework at night when everyone is asleep and that is around 10. I am exhausted. I feel like I need to move out for my benefit. I just feel bad, I know there is a lot of responsibilities but I love responsibilities, and I know I am strong enough to get through them. Someone please help. I don't know what to do, senior year is so overwhelming

Answer

My best advice is to just grin and bear it through college, or at least until you have a substantial amount of savings. Living on your own is A LOT of work and very expensive, especially if you don't have a roommate. You'll probably also find yourself missing home. 
Until you can support yourself 100% on your own, do not move out.

Answer

Do you have any income to support your decision in moving out? If so go for it

Answer

It's harder than you'd think. Yes, there's responsibilities, but also, not having the comfort of being able to go to your mom when you're sick or you can't find something, etc. it's overwhelming.

Answer

If you think it's tough now, just wait till you have to work 40+ hours to make enough money for rent, water, gas, food, internet/tv, electricity.. and still have time to study sufficiently and get all your work done all the while going to school 2+ days a week. It's VERY tough. So if I were you, stick it out. College is even harder work but you will have the resources to do things. Stay late at the library after classes or go before to do your homework, get a tutor (some colleges have tutor centers etc) so all that will help. Save your money, stay at home, and get your degree. I know it seems like a shitty option but trust me you'll be happy you did it. It sounds bad to say.. but mooch off of your parents as much as possible. Even if they charge rent, they'll usually make it much less than any apartment. I promise it's the better option.

Answer

I wouldn't move out. You won't be able to afford your own place while still going to school. Even if you got a well paying part time job, you wouldn't be able to work enough hours to make enough and still do your homework/get the rest you need. It's VERY hard living on your own financially. Just wait and enjoy this time as much as you can now, because growing up and living on your own really isn't as great as it seems. If I were you I would drive to Starbucks in the evening or to the park and do your homework there and get some alone time. As for your mom, that's just how it goes. The best thing to do is try and see things from her perspective and drop the little arguments and not worry about them. Good luck with senior year!
