Move out after high school?
I'm a junior in high school, and I really want to move out as soon as I graduate. I want to experience life more independetly but my parents told me that moving out right after high school is extremely unrealistic. They said that if I get a roommate it would work out, but I don't really want one. Is it possible to live alone when you're 18 without a roommate considering financial issues such as college and necessities?
What is it like moving out of state after high school?
Well I went to college in VA and I'm from PA so it's about a 5 1/2-6 hours drive. I LOOOOOOOVED it! Unfortunately I hated the school. I would say go to California since your sister is there and if this is your first time alone you might need some help and being on the other coast is difficult when you're first starting out. Plus NYC is expensive - do you have a job?! You're going to have bills. I would recommend a roomie or maybe 2. As for advice I would just so if you want to get away, get away. I don't know if you're really cool with your sister but you could see if you could stay with her for a little while you get a job and save up a little money and look for a roomie. That way you won't be in AZ anymore and can eventually work up to being on your own. Because it's really tough I'm not going to lie. It's definitely do-able though!!!!
How to live on my own after high school?
Well I'm gonna be totally honest with you... It's going to be difficult on your own as far as rent and other expenses... Im 24 and I have been on my own since I was about 20... The first two years of college I lived with my parents while maintaining a part time job and school full time... I knew I wasn't ready to move out right after high school... So I stayed at home. I did help out at home with expenses during this time because my parents wanted me to know what it was like to have this type of responsibility... I realized that I just don't make enough to live soley on my own.. But having roomates would be a great way to live on my own and simply share expenses... Which is what happen in my case... I moved in with two of my good friends and it worked out perfectly... I have other friends who moved out right after high school but with roomates... So I would recommend that for u.... As far as saving money Its hard when u dont make alot... But try to prioritize and not buy things u don't need... If your living at home u might can get away with it but on your own u have to make sure the bills are paid... As far as the $500 for the apartment it seems to be the monthly rent and possible the same amount for a security deposit... In my case my monthly rent is $1600, and we had to put down the same amount for the security deposit... Just try not to rush it... If u need to stay at home a little longer then bare with it until your situation gets better... Also don't give up on school just yet... Give it a chance... I recently finished my undergrade at a state university college as a business major... And more opportunities will come your way with a degree... Now I hope to move forward for my graduate degree... Their is lots of options out there even if your grades aren't great... And u might be able to receive financial aid which can help u with your living expenses... It does help lots for college students on their own for the first time. Sorry for such a long post but I hope it puts things into perspective for u

My high school boyfriend is moving away?
My high school boyfriend and I have been together for almost 5 years. A couple weeks ago he found out that because of his dad's job, their family is moving right after school gets out, to Nevada, which is just under 1,000 miles away from where we live in Oregon. I know it's silly, but I really do think that he is the love of my life. We have been together since we were 12 years old, and I think there's a good possibility that we could get married. But now that he is moving, I have no idea what to do. On one hand, I want to stay with him and try to make long distance work, but at the same time, I don't want him to feel weighed down by me in his new town at his new school. I know he would never cheat on me, but I don't want him to meet someone else and end up resenting me and think he can't do anything because he's tied down to this girl that lives a thousand miles away. He assured me that that will never happen, but I'm still worried about it. We love and care about each other very much, and I think we can make it work, but then again we are still young (he's 17, I'm 16) and there's no guarantee that we will be together forever. I love him so so much, and I want the best life for him possible. I just don't know if it's best to stay together, or let him go. Help me please!!? Xoxo thank you so so much. P.S. Sorry it's such a long question, but it would mean the world to me if you answered :)
