Q: I am a 17yr old in NC and I want to leave my house... i know i need to plan so I need specifics.
I am 17 and life in my house is getting bad, my dad has been telling me we arent going to make it in this house together, i keep getting in trouble part of it my fault and the other side is not. I dont want to be in this hostile environment and I want my parents to understand that if we cant work this out, I have other ways to handle these situations. If i go live with a friend or another family, will they get in trouble? If I leave will the cops come get me even if my life is not endangered. How long can I stay with someone else....any other extra and imperative info would be most welcome. Thank you.
A: At 17, you be respectful and do what your parents tell you. At 18 - do what you want.
