I lived with my parents till I was about 24. Then my boyfriend at the time wanted to get out of the dorms and convinced me to move in together.

We lived together for less than a year, then we broke up, he kicked me out, and Kia and I moved back in with my parents. After a couple of months, I found my own place which is where I currently reside.

I know lots of kids in HS that wanted so bad to move out but that wouldn't last long and they'd be back home.

I get along great with my parents and I'm glad they were not the type to say, "Well, your 18, out you go."
