what to do...

Alright I'm 16 years old and I'm moving out of my house to go live in an aprtment with with girlfriend. We've found an apartment and it seems really great, but tonight I have to tell my mum that i'm leaving. My family recently told me that they're planning on moving somwhere to change jobs most likely Denver or Calgary...aka really far away. i was just wondering if any body had any advice on how I should go about telling my parents?

 

No idea, sorry.

 

Your 16 is it even legal for you to move out?
I dunno what the laws is where u r lol

If you are totally serious then just tell them - how long have u been with your g/f?

 

just sit them down and tell them honestly if its legal... i dunno the laws there either.

 

yes it is legal, at 16 you can move out as long as you have somwhere to go anf it's not just the street or somthing. my girlfriend and I have been dating for 6 months which isn't that long but we can talk about everything and have discussed the idea of us breaking up and what we'd do in that situation etc.

 

Invite them to your housewarming party.

 

Tell 'em
make sure you have a decent job to support yourself with
(and your girlfriend too)
Have a safety savings account, with a few hundred bucks in case of emergency

Just be really mature about it, it's teh best way

 

I agree with ihmurria. Just make sure you are responsible about it.

 

Alright well I we're getting the place today and we're moving out on July 1st... I attempted to tell my mum last night and she freaked out, but my plan is to just keep running away and continue paying the rent so my gf doesn't get stuck.

 

ahahahhahahahaha,, whatta mature plan..

 

can you even support you and your girlfriend? are you done with school? do you not want to educate yourself further?

it is pretty expensive to move out on our own, especially at your age. There are laws that mandate how many hours you can work in some places, which means no hours less money.

have you thought about other than rent, there is electricity bills, phone bills, gas bills, food bills, gas for vehicles and other extra costs?

then God forbid that ( i will assume you are a male) that your gf gets knocked up, there is another cost.

I would have totally freaked out on my kids if they came to me and said they wanted to move in with their girlfriend at this age especially after being with them for a whole six months.
nope aint neva gonna work.

 

na, i'm a girl..and preety sure my gf isn't going to get knocked up...but we both have jobs and we can afford the rest easily. I know it sounds quite imature to just keep "running away" and I s'pose it is, but honestly can you think of anything better ? I'd much rather some advice than criticism.

 

really? what kind of jobs do the two you have?

 

ideas instead of criticism??

grow up an be responsible..


im gonna keep running away??

thats your answer??


how about realising yer 16??

an a 16 year old that isnt mature enough to come up with a better idea than running away over an over at that..

its not being critical,, its giving advice.

you only see criticism,,because its not what ya wanna read..

once again a sign of immaturity..

luv n light..

 

very well said

 

Fuck these people. We ALL should have left home at 16.


Grab life by the balls (or tits) and shake it. Sitting around waiting for the perfect set of circumstances will result in you being middle-aged and bored...wondering where half your life went.

Take it from a disillusioned fuck that knows.


One more thing....If you want real advice or constructive criticism, don't post on HF. It doesn't exist here.

 

i left home at 15,.. and didnt ask for advice..

so yer point is?? lil mister "fuck these people"??:X

 

Read the post again. Maybe my big words will sink in.

 

oh yer words sink in alright..

i just think ya really are clueless..

but hey thats just my uneducated opinion..
