What do you think is the right age for a child to leave home?

Leaving the house doesn't depend on age, i think. It is based on how responsible and independent you are. You can be of age and yet do not know responsibility. Although, it can differ from country to country because of culture, but here in the Philippines where we value close family relationships, leaving the home is when you are financially capable and responsible for your actions as a citizen.

There is no best age to leave home. I think, if the person is mature and can support and look after himself. Then it would be the best time.

Hmm... I am already leave home at 18 years old ^^ because I must college in different city ^^ I think... 17++ is enaugh to go from home ^^

I think 21. Since young adults need guidance due to emotional instability and confusion on the world he takes in

fourteen or thirteen to me is too young..anyone older than that's fine. Though I think it depends on the person..some people are still too immature at sixteen so it wouldn't be advisable for them to move out..but as long as they CAN take care of themselves I won't object to anyone moving out of the house in their teens.

I left home at the age of 16, not through choice I may add and I coped well. Cousins of mine are 54 and 63 respectively and they are still living at home and have never left either! I think 16 is really a bit too young to leave home nowadays and lets face it in the UK can they afford to with housing prices these days?? I think about 21 is right, you've learned abit and earned a tiny bit by then! Although I guess it depends on how mature the child is!

according to me it would be around 21 and 22., this is the age where maturity will get fully saturated.

I can change from country to country. Just to explain in Italy, where I live, usually boys ang girls (but specially boys) leave parent's home very late (sometime when they are 30 or older). I know that it can be sound strange but there are a lot of reasons. First of all that now the studies are longer and seemas that you never finish. In Italy not so often students leave home to go to the college or university, they stay at home during these years. Then, it's not easy to find a job, a real job that give them so much money to survive alone. There is also the big problem of partments tha are very expensive. Last but not least (specially for boys) stay at home with parents it's so easy: someone wash your dress, clean the house, cook for you and you don't have to pay.

I don't think that there is any set age to leave home, It just depends on the circumstances, my eldest son left home when he was 17 he is now 22 and married with 2 children of his own, but my 16 year old daughter and my other son aged 20 have no plans to leave.

there is no proper age for leaving home.one ur able to take care of ur self and are independent then u can leave home that can anytime after 18 years of age.

I think a lot depends on the child. I think 16 is too young unless they are extremely mature. Trying to earn a living, pay bills, and live on ones own isn't always easy that early on. Some have trouble at 50 doing that after all. I think once they are ready, when they can make a fair living, can support themselves for example, when they can stand on their own two feet, then they should leave home.

My husband left home at 15 and I left at 19. We both turned out ok I think. Our 22 y/o left when he was 17, and our 17 joined the Army so he'll be leaving shortly after turning 18. But the rest of them say they will never leave. Which is fine with me. We teach our children to be self sufficant and at the age of 12 they start earning most "extras" they get. As far as how old a child should be, should be based on how that child was raised. Was he/she sheltered? Handed too all it's childhood? Then I say the child should wait till he/she is older. But if the child is not only taught that he/she has to earn what they want in life, but how to take care of themselfs while doing doing so, then they should leave when both them and their parents believe they are mature enough. Like I said, for my husband, that was 15. For me, it was 19.

The time when the kid has finished graduation and has started earning that as per me is the right time for the child to leave home.

I left home when I went to college but came back and stayed with my grandparents and then moved out when I got married. I think that everyone has to be at that stage in there life and they also need to be over 18.

the age of majority is eighteen. When the child turns 18 she is free to make all decisions for herself, including housing arrangements, unless there is some reason why she should not be allowed that freedom. For example, an eighteen year-old who suffers from mental illness or is the ward of a court-appointed guardian may not be allowed to make decisions regarding housing. while competent children may choose to leave home at eighteen, parents may still be required to support children beyond their eighteenth birthday.

if i base on my experience sir, i leave to our house when i was 16yrs. old. i don't have a choice because i want to hel them. although my mom she's not agree, but i explain to her that if i always stay there how can i help you? that's what i say to them coz i don't want to see them to suffer. that's why now i know how to stand on my own and i matured early to fight the trial come to my life. but i think supposed to be the right age to left at your home 18yrs of age as long as you matured enough but if you are stil student's maybe if your finish and have an steable job that's the time you left, but me i started to back in school at the age of twenty instead that kind of age mostly you finish in college. in my experience that's my firstyear college and i graduated at the age of 22.

at 25 is best age

in malaysia, normally child will leave their home when they reach 18 years old.

I left home when I was 20.
