Can you live alone at age 15?
You should do a search for the term "emancipated minor" and the name of your state to find out what the laws are where you live. There was a young lady who attended the high school where our daughter attends who was an emancipated minor. She lived on her own starting at age 16 I believe - got herself up for school every day, etc.
Is it generally a good idea to move out at age 20?
That depends:Are you in college? If so, stay home until you graduate to give yourself your best chance at success. The world is mean to poor people.Do you have gainful employment? If you have the financial means to support yourself, ask yourself why you’re still with your folks instead of venturing out.Are you mentally prepared for independence? Going from your parent’s house to a place of your own can be a shock. You might be surprised how much you miss their love and support.Are you considering moving out because you’re running away from something bad, or are you moving toward something good? Running away from something bad tends to yield less fruitful results than running toward something good, because running away may cause you to act rashly without consideration for long term consequences.Moving out is a blast. It’s one of the greatest adventures of a lifetime. Be careful, though. If your motivations are not positive and reasonable ones, you might find yourself unprepared for the realities that you face on your own. Talk with someone you trust in your family about this; they probably know you better than anyone and can guide you with your best interests at heart.In summary: In my opinion, you’re not to old to stay if you need to, nor are you too young to venture out if you’re ready.
Can a 16 year old travel alone?
Yes you can travel on your own as a 16 year old. As long as you have photo ID such as a passport to confirm your identity. Hopefully someone will be meeting you at the airport in London to pick you up so all you need to do is get on the plane by yourself. There is absolutely nothing to worry about and you will be fine. If you need any help, the airline staff are always there to help.If you mean that you are making the entire trip on your own then I would think that you would find it difficult to get a hotel room at your age. You usually need to be 18 to book a hotel room and you need a credit card in order to secure the room against any damages caused.I think the Travelodge allows under 18's to stay there so you might want to try there if you are on your own. If you are not used to travelling on your own you should make sure that you take extra security precautions when out and about such as not taking any valuables and not looking like a tourist.I hope you enjoy your stay in London.
What's a good age to move out of your parents house?
I think while attending college it makes sense to live at home if it is close enough. It is expensive to rent an apartment. You should though while at home learn the basic skills -- cooking, cleaning, budgeting, minor repairs. A bonus is you will be helping out your mom. To me it makes sense to move out when you are in your early 20s simply because it does force you to mature and be independent. I also think it makes sense while you are student to live at home. It is different for everyone. I've never had issues with roommates stealing and things like that. Ideally though you would get a roommate of someone you already know - someone you already trust as it can be difficult living with some one else. My overall suggestion right now - stay at home and focus on your college education (stressful enough without having the added stress of moving into a new situation); while in college also learn how to be independent - those basic skills you would need to live alone or with a roommate. Then after you finish school focus on finding a good solid permanent job; once you have a job in place, then plan your move -- better to be financially secure and with the skills to be independent when you move out. This will also give you the confidence to move on your own.
What is the legal age to move out in Japan?
Actually, you can live alone from 15 or 16. One of the reason is that high school education is not mandatory, and most foster institutions (orphanages) can only house children until they graduate junior high. So @ around this age, these people have to leave the institution and they live alone and work or go to high school. The 1 yr. age difference is due to the requirements when entering school. Normally, a person is 7 when entering 1st grade, but if born between Jan. 1 and April 2, then the person will be considered a student for the upcoming school year (starting in April).
I'm 22 and my parents won't let me travel alone?
I wouldn't be comfortable with it (even though I wouldn't be able to legally stop you), unless I knew you were used to traveling alone. Have you ever went on vacation in the country without anyone? What's in Australia that you're willing to go see by yourself? Are they afraid you're going to meet someone you met online? Maybe your parents have the watched the same news shows I have and know easy it is for a young woman traveling alone to just *poof* disappear into thin air. It happens in Australia too... It's hard for them to cut the cord when you're living in their house. If you want to be more independent, move out.
Can you move to Japan at the age of 16?
Ya sorry to break it to you but there's really no chance of you living on your own at 16 in Japan. Besides how will you teach English as a 16 year old? You need a college degree first to even be considered as a candidate for a teaching job not to even mention the whole visa issue. To live in Japan for longer than the usual 3 month limit with a normal tourist visa, you need to obtain either a working visa or student visa.Working visa means you have a degree and have a company that's willing to hire you in advance, and for a student visa you need to be admitted into a Japanese college and have the money to pay for it or be involved in a student exchange program. Also I don't think anyone is going to be willing to rent out an apartment to someone underaged, and I highly doubt you will be able to come up with the money to cover your living expenses. You should care about the cost as that would be your major concern, and I highly doubt you have a few thousand dollars just laying around. Affordable apartment in Shinjuku, now that's laughable. An apartment in Shinjuku is going to run you a hefty price of at least 150,000 yen a month whether it's crappy or not. But once again no one will rent it to you since you're underaged. So let's say you did miraculously get to Japan overlooking your visa problem. You would need at least $1,000 US for the flight there, considering you won't find an apartment you could stay at a youth hostel for $40 a night, not to mention food expense which will be about $25 a day if you like McDonalds, and oh ya no traveling for you by train because that would be $700 a month for a rail pass. So if you did somehow manage to stay there for 3 months you're looking at almost $7,000 USD by living on crap food, in a hostel, and this also doesn't include your laundry fees that you will have to do or if you have to buy things such as toiletries. You will be 16, you don't have a job, and more than likely you do not have this cash. I think your best interest is to maybe see if you can qualify for a foreign exchange student program considering you know Japanese to begin with. First you need to talk to your parents and perhaps your high school guidance counselor to find out what the best program will be for you. Even as a student, it would only be for a set amount of time.
In Australia, I heard it is more common for students to continue living with their parents instead of moving out when they start college. At what age do people move out of their parents' house in Australia?
I can only speak from my own experience, but I recently moved back home with my parents and I am almost 30. That said, I have investment properties!The reason is simple, its expensive to live out either through renting or home ownership. Home ownership is something like x5 times the average income, whereas in our parents time it was around x2. (Source: Australia’s housing boom in five graphs)A report by the IMF has also shown that Australia has the fourth highest price to income ratio in the world (source: Global Housing Watch)Not only that, the older homes that our parents own, tend to be much larger and probably closer to the city than a lot of the newer more expensive homes! (A rough generalisation I realise). In Australia, the statistic for children living with their parents overall hasn't changed much "In 2011, around 29% of young adults lived without a partner or child but with one or both of their parents, up from 21% in 1976."Source: Australian Social Trends, April 2013McCrindle had some interesting research, albeit I could only find dated information: Nearly 1 in 4 (23%) people aged 20-34 continue to live in the parental home. In Sydney and Melbourne, this figure is even higher (27%). Males in this age group are more likely than females to be living with their parents (27% and 18% respectively).Page on mccrindle.com.au
