Living with your parents is as sweet as life gets. You have no bills to pay, you have no stress, you have more time to focus on school since you are not working 40 + hours a week to pay off rent, electricity, water, insurance bills.
There are plenty of places you can have sex at besides your parent’s house, and why do you want independence at such a young age? You have the rest of your life to be independent!

CANT HAVE SEX WITH YO PARENTS
People usually want independence by that age. Their own lives and responsibilities and such.
No more rules!
No more curfews
They’re desperate to be individuals. And they don’t know how sweet life is living with their parents until its gone. >.
i kinda always wanted to move out, but im in no hurry to do so. im 24 btw…not all of us are the same. living at home is sweet
because the feeling of independent and trying to make it on your own! Its just like getting your first car and your driver license.
they either have a boyfriend/girlfriend or they think that when they get old enough, they can have all the fun and freedome they want
The feeling of Independence, and no restrictions on your lifestyle.
First of all not all teenagers are eager to move out for the very reasons you have mentioned. As a matter of fact in my country, more and more teens stay on long after teenage, not always to the parents joy. But the main reason teens want to move out is because they have issues with their parents and they want their privacy, to do what they want without anybody telling them they can’t and to be on their own, in their own 4 walls. That’s a pretty good reason.
They just like the fact of having their own responsibilites and having there own space. Doing what they want to do
because some parent’s tend to forget that their child is now an adult and still have some basic house rules that they must follow but the new adult doesn’t think it should apply to them anymore.
Do you want to be 18 or 19 and told you have a 11 pm curfew? or told who you can go out with? Have every little move questioned by your parent’s?
Some people don’t mind this, others find it very restrictive to their independence.
personally, I didn’t move out right after high school. I waited awhile, then went to college, moved back home for a semester, then got the right attitude for college and haven’t moved back home permanently since then and that was over 15 yrs ago. But I would love it if my parent’s paid for all my bills and did all the cooking and cleaning instead of having to do it myself.
They’ve been cooped up inside a household for their entire lives, always following rules made by someone else.
When you’re young you want to find out new things, yes? Wouldn’t you, if the only thing you knew was the same mundane lifestyle but there was something else out there to try? Life is about learning and exploring, not just going about the most ‘logical’ or ’safest’ route. When people are able to get the chance to try something new, exciting, better… most would grab it with both hands! I know I would.
It’s definetly freedom. I have a soon to be 15 year old who is always saying when I’m 18 I’m getting out of here so I tell her Well I guess I’ll be buying you a luggage set then. 3 years 7 days to go woo-hoo!
