Moving out of home ( but i am under 18)

ir8312 SG

Hello. currrently i am facing a huge problem. i would like to move out of my parents' home.My family is filled with smokers and it always smells like smoke in my home. And to add to that, i am sharing a room with my older brother who is extremely annoying. I can't even sleep properly on most days ( even during holidays). There are also other problems in my home. That's why i wish to move out.

I am currently studying in poly in first year. i plan to get the SAF-poly diploma scholarship which will give me an allowance of $800 per month and pay for my school fees. I also will try to work on weekends. But the thing is i am not sure where to go and live and how to proceed with all these. Can someone please advise me on this matter?Any help is greatly appreciated.

Do you have a good relationship with your family?

Stay at home good

Go out with your friends more often?

Whenever you smell/saw someone in your house smoking .... Just get out of your house:D

If you really want to move out . Just rent a room monthly . Save more :D

Renting a room outside you need to be 21 & above to legally signed a tenancy contract. It cost at least $250-$300 per month if you are sharing a room with someone else too. A room by yourself will cost $500+- per month. What about money for food & necessities? Unless you have a good paying part-time job and you can manage it well.

The better suggestion is to Discuss with your family you need some space for your studies. On top of it all they are your loved ones. All the best.

Gonna be tough living on your own, at this age. You should probably talk things out with your family members. Good luck!

you need communicate with your parents about the problem you have at least it help, you still young to rent a room, and renting a room is not cheap.

Get the SAF diploma scholarship first. Then volunteer to serve your NS early and you get free accommodation and food too

Make sure you have enought $$ to support yourself and have a home which you can live in

I feel for you.

I guess most of us go through this phase. No right or wrong decision to make but you just have to ensure you can support yourself. Most importantly, continue to work on your relationship with your family. Blood is thicker than water.

Good luck.
