Z1MZUM Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 I was 16 when I moved out, I completed High school at 15 and went to university at 15 turning 16 the first year. I also picked up a sweet job for a Newspaper and it was near the Uni, so I moved closer to there, I also dropped out of uni and went full time for the newspaper without telling my folks ;). With that said, My home life was great and life was always good, I just got bumped ahead with school and was a couple of years younger when it was over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonny2608 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Bought a house by myself when I was 21, no reason other than I wanted to stand on my own two feet having been through college and university while staying at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedPage17 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Moved out when I was seventeen. About half way through senior year of high school. Never looked back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starcrunch061 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 I was 23 when I moved out. The reason was graduate school. I was fully self-supporting from then on, so it was a clean "move out". No problems with the local sugar dealers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheYuriG Posted March 1, 2017 Author Share Posted March 1, 2017 This story have somewhat a disappointing ending. About an year later i had purchased like half of my electronics and my mother came to visit me (no idea how she found me, probably family betrayal) and blackmailed me saying she got divorced and she was deeply depressed and would kill herself if i didn't return. I refused about 10 days until my compassion talked louder than my reason and i went back. No surprise, barely anything changed but i no longer got spanked, nor l needed to stay home/tell where I'm going which was about time since i was 20 by then. I got to work in a few places and then i got a really good job, but it made me walk a lot and by 2015 (october-ish) the pains I've ever felt in my legs grew unbearable and I'm finally allowed to see a doctor. Almost 1 year and half from there, it seems that i have Fibromialgia, a nervous systemic disease that doesn't have cure and the treatment is somewhat uncertain to work. I spend almost all 2016 in pain and barely leaving home except for university and trying to find something that releases me from my daily pain, but nothing lasts long enough. Been through 4 different medicines by now, stronger each time and less effective too, until i decided stop taking them afraid of making, whatever causes my pain, even stronger. 2016 i intended to move out again to another state close to a few friends of mine to do university there. I sell the majority of my personal things and get myself all ready to go, then i get to find that my mother cancelled my ticket and my university subscription (or whatever you call it) and then redid it for the local university. So here I'm again, living somewhere i hate with people i hate for 4+ years, unless i ditch university which i don't intend to, because i like it. My plans however are to get a job in my course area this year and leave home once for all until i graduate and then, go to another country and cut all contact to my bloodline. Wish me luck, i guess? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lava_Yuki Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 I was 17 when I moved out. The reason was that I wanted to simply not live with my parents so I applied and got accepted into a university in the capital city, 3 hours by car away from my parents house. I'm also a very city person and like urban jungle living, while my parents prefer the quiet countryside. I'm 24 now and plan to emigrate for work this year. It was not that I didn't get along with my parents, we just have very different lifestyles and priorities so living together was tough once I became an adult.

Tekyumeeee Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 I was 21 and I turn 23 in a few months. Nothing too interesting to say. College didn't work out for me so I left after a year and started working. Spent about a year working part-time while still living with my parents. Eventually found a full-time job and made efforts to move out as soon as I could. Not that my situation was that bad, I just really wanted to live on my own so I can have more peace and quiet.

Ric Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 (edited) I think I was around 22. After school, I've worked for a couple of years. My girlfriend and I lived a bit of a distance apart (1.5 hours travel time by car/train). Which would have been quite an annoying commute to work if I were to move at that time (I'm originally from a big city, and traffic around there is insane during rush hours) and I didn't have my driver's licence yet. Since I had a falling out with my boss at the time, we decided to part ways. I wanted to move closer to my girlfriend and her parents offered me to stay with them untill I found a new job and we found a place of our own. A year later, we moved into our own place and have lived there since (almost 10 years now). Edited May 31, 2017 by Ric typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarSideOfSaturn Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 (edited) I was 20 when I moved out. I'd just been promoted at my old workplace so I could afford my own place near the city centre. I stayed there about six years until I became disillusioned with my job and felt like I could do something better with myself. So I applied to college and stayed on campus there for a year and then found a flatshare just outside the city when it was over when I started my current job. I still have a year of uni left so I'll probably be staying here for that year, plus however long it takes me to get a job in the industry I want. I'm liking where I am right now but I don't have a lot of stuff here. My room is pretty much a bed, a desk and chair, a wardrobe, a bookshelf, TV and PS4. Most of my own stuff and furniture is sitting in the garage at my parents house waiting for me to move into my own place again. I could personalise and decorate my room a little more but I don't see the point since I'm not staying here forever. I'd rather put that effort and energy into something that's going to be permanent.

Oobedoob S Benubi Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Moved out when I was 18, because I would go to the university. Wasn't pissed at my parents or anything dramatic, just wanted to stand on my own. Both got married and bought our first appartment about two years ago. We have a dog since about half a year. Some of the women my wife knows who are on their second or third child say that a kid is all we're missing now but I'd say we're not really missing it.

RisingSenpai616 Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 (edited) I moved out four years ago for college coz my family lives in the middle of butt fudge nowhere and I didn't want to spend five hours a day commuting in and out. It's tough at first. You need to get used to doing everything yourself. You also have to get used to housemates if you're sharing. And money becomes a scarily real issue unless you have a job that pays really well. But I don't think I could stand moving back now that I'm used to it.

Juzota Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 I moved away when I was 21 and just finished my military service. No big drama there. I had a job and wanted to live by myself, so I moved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fierce_DeityX1 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 I love my parents dearly, but am definently glad I stopped living with them and pretty much got kicked out when they moved. Living with them was a nightmare because of how paranoid they would become, i wasn't allowed to buy an airsoft gun because a cop would come into the backyard (for no reason) and shoot me, even though we lived in a nice neighborhood. back in HS, if I bought a computer I could only use it for homework even though it would have been spent with my money. one time I forgot to take out the trash and my stepdad dumped the trash on my bed. https://imgur.com/a/5bh7P My friend started to worry because of all the weird punishments they had for me, he was partially worried something was wrong with their brain. Living with them was was one of the main reasons why I started smoking, the stress of having to deal with your parents threatening to kick you out everyday or then saying they will sell my stuff (even making my price all of my collectibles) i am very glad glad I moved out, at first I cut contact with them, but our relationship grew better after awhile.
