Additionally they can also teach you that living alone is an tremendous blessing that you'll learn to appreciate... Then again, contrary to my life experiences, it seems that not necessarily all of one's flatmates are guaranteed to be domestically and socially to an excessive degree.
Lol yeah. Depends on the people.

I would stay with parents until you find a place to live and a stable job, then i'd leave.
But that's just me.

It really depends on your situation. Like East says, if you can get a good job, then you might be able to make it on your own without too much trouble. I get along really well with my family so I've stayed with them for a bit, but from the sound of your home life being "intense", there's not many points there for that.
I guess as a personal opinion, do whichever you think you can stick with. If you want to move out, do so--but only if you're able support yourself. If your home life is already intense, then I can't imagine leaving your family and having to return if you can't keep a place of your own would be a wise idea.
Honestly if I move out that will be it. Haha I've already threatened them that I wouldn't be back after I'm out.
Also I guess at times it can be livable. Like when I don't get home from work until after 11pm and everyone's asleep or at work.

Maybe, but idk how to look for a roommate or who to ask tbh.

In the Australian experience, it is more uncommon to see people move out than to stay with their parents.
But Sydney is more expensive to live in than New York, which might explain why.
Yeahh. I would/will not move into the city or to a bigger city if I can help avoid it. Living an acre away from people on both sides of me is too close imo.

I'm sorry man. And sorry but that so reminded me of Harry Potter XD, and I haven't read that book in over a year

Parents are a good safety net, but they can also be a comfort that could stop you from succeeding or striving to right away. Even if you need to stick with a crappier job for a time, as long as you can find a roommate/subsidized housing/rent controlled housing you should be fine.
Yeah, I like that feeling. I'm buying my vehicle atm. Well Leasing it. An 05 Chevy Silverado Z71. I work at United...on the East Side ( for now, hoping to transfer to the new Market Street opening up ), I know about crappy jobs lol. Back to the roommate thing, how would I go about that?

You do know I'm talking about High School right? haha, and I know. People stay with their parents for far too long.

What did you do when you graduate?
Stay with parents?
Move Out ASAP?
I honestly don't know what would be best...
I've been debating on staying, but there's days so intense at home I'd rather leave right then and there.
Also I am very independent and that doesn't go well.
I still have a few months left til graduation and I will probably change my mind a million and a half more times, but it's a serious thing to think about fully, and not to make rash decisions.
Help? haha
