Moving out at 16, desperate!

[stacey2000]

Im 16 and live in liverpool. I can not stand where i live with my mum and dad, all we do is argue especially with my dad alls he does is really shout at me for the slightest things and i cant stand it much longer!! i was wondering can i move out to somebody elses house without their permission? on the connexions site it says they cannot force me to return anywhere i do not feel safe, and i feel that if i stay here i am going to have a nervous break down or something! all i ever feel here is depressed!! i am starting to cry all the time and not want to eat off feeling so depressed! help??? am i able to move out at 16 without my parents concent and without the police forcing me to come back home??

You can legally move out if you are 16. How do you intend to support yourself if you do? Do you have anywhere you are sure you can go, do you have a job etc?

There was a thread earlier, different circumstances but similar advice, would this help? http://www.theanswerb...e/Question772966.html

but as scotman says, where would you go, how would you have enough money for food and lodging?

yes i would be able to move into my boyfriends house his mum would let me and i have two job offers at the moment??

yes you can but no matter how troubling your current situation appears to be it is better to leave with your parents approval and support rather than taking off in a huff trying to spite them.
I wish you had access to hindsight.
