I have 2 get out now!

I'm 19 and a high school graduate. I still live at home and it's driving me crazy. I know I may be young, but I know I'm mentally stable and responsible enough 2 be on my own. I'm saving up money and by this time next year I plan 2 move out and attend college(community). I know it's going 2 be hard. My family just takes advantage of me, no one likes each other, and I feel their holding me back. I have no other stable relatives 2 live with and my house has alway's been crowded I want space of my own 2 relax.I just want too provide for myself, get an education, and improve my social life. Am I moving 2 fast, should I wait a few more year's, or should I keep going with my plan?
Do you think it's normal?

No bro WAIT a couple of years till you have a plan,otherwise you might stuff up in the future, maybe 1 or 2 years down the track and relies when your 21 or 22 that you got nothing, hardly any possessions, no money, and you have to move back home to your parants,
Well thats what happened to me.

Keep to your plan, but I'd advise getting a roomate, living on your own has more expenses than you think. If you need a place to relax and get away from the family now, get your self out of the house for a few hours, go to the library, go to a park, or the gym.

it might sound bad, but joining the military wouldnt be that bad of an idea, if you are really in a horrible situation, thats really the best thing to do.

Free housing, medical care, everything you need, and not to mention experience, and they pay for your college after if you want, or who knows you can even build a career as an officer, and the government does have the best retirement plan and healthcare in the united states.

Id say, wait until you got some stability at work, then you can move out, thats what I did, and it was kinda hard adjustment, but easier this way.

I got out at 15... and if I didnt, I think I would have shot myself. Just make sure you get EVERYTHING ready. Food stamps (if you need them) three mos rent, a job, transportation, friends, and if nescessary a worker. If you are leaving your parents, you shouldnt be asking for $$$ after you leave.

Joining the military at the moment is not good idea because if you die you will never achieve your plan! You are of legal age. Ignore them and go out and work on your plan find a decent job and a roomate mind you roomates can be crazy too. But if these people are holding you back do something about and change your situation it is scary being on your own but you believe your capable so you should be fine. Killing them or yourself is not an option because you can accomplish your plan if you are dead or in prison and in prison they control you not to mention baba. Avoid their negativity and focus on your success. And you will feel better. Do it move out but know it is not easy maybe you will have to work two jobs and not be social for awhile. But if these people are helping you neeed to start your own life and strive for what you want. Trust me i'm 36 and just figuring out you have to sacrafice and work hard for what you want and most people are lost in anger and fear and never change their situations which caused me and many people i know to numb ourselves with drugs and alcohol. You can do it believe in yourself cause no one can do it for you! Peace Honor and Strength!!!!!!!!!
