Do you have the financial backing? If so sort out accommodation quickly and then get a couple of mates to help you move all your stuff out one day.

But how old are you and what's the problem?

try and get a job doing anything it doesnt matter as long as it brings money in,, if your 18 and still at home put your name on the housing register at your council and tell them its urgent (you can make something absurd up so that they look at your case before others, cruel but true.) when you get a house/flat you can also apply for rent rebate this means that you dont have to pay the full amount of rent, the government pays for most of it and you pay for a small amount. then youll be laughing when you have your own place. im 17 and have the same problem as you ive gotten a job (started on monday) and hope to be raking in the dosh soon and hopefull look for a place.

Good luck with it.

ps. what exactly is the problem with your parents, why do you want to cut them off completely?

Well without the finance there you have some pretty serious problems. Got a friend you can move in with? You might also be eligable for council housing. But again, whats the problem? It may contribute to helping you move out potentially.
Unless you're pregnant, being physically abused, in danger of your life, your parents have thrown you out (for which you need written confirmation) or something else completly absurd, you'll be waiting AGES for a council property. If you're determined to move out, go out get yourself a job and start saving.

im treated really badly.. i feel bound.. my parents are constantly fighting.. my mother tried to kill herself earlier..
What kind of pressure are you getting from your parents? is it that bad that you have too be driven out of your own house? anyway considering your age, living on your own might get difficult due to the financial side. Try looking for a part time job it might help with covering bills, food etc. Anyway in the meantime try talking to your parents and see if you can overcome this problem your experiencing.

please help..
Yea I think so. Well, I mean, when I was younger and thought I wanted to leave home, they [the council] told me they would need to see some "evidence" that I was being kicked out of the house and would have nowhere else to live.
Get a job, save up and leave.

Or go to the council and declare yourself homeless. They may place you in a shelter. You can then go onto benefits and try to get a job.

Call the cops or social services would probs be better in this case as it doesnt seem to have gone too far. Council will definately put you up if you are worried about being sexually abused and there is grounding for those concerns.

DO NOT stop your studies.

i knw it gna be hard

Do you have grandparents, if so go and live with them or a friend, get a full time job over the summer, put yourself on the waiting list for a council house, and wait.
leave home and never talk to them again?
