moving out

I’m hoping to move out for my first year of college and live on my own, but as i’ll be under 18 i’m not sure where to start, does anyone have any advice?

Your parents are legally responsible for you up to age 18. However, are you being forced to move by circumstances, eg unsafe, or by choice to get some independence? Answers will depend on the situation, eg are you entitled to housing or do you need a guarantor for private accommodation?

by choice for independence, both my parents moved out at 16 and did the same thing so they’re fine with it, i just need to find somewhere to stay, my parents have also said if i need help financially they’ll provide me with money.
