I suppose it depends on your parents. My mom really gave me hell when I decided to move out. I won't go into details because I don't want to scare you (!) but you just have to remember that your parents can take care of themselves. You can never force someone to understand something, you know? You're more than old enough and ready to do it. Just be direct but also kind. It's hard on the parents when their kid moves out (most of the time) but it's YOUR LIFE. YOU are the one living it, not them! Don't let your mom scare or guilt-trip you out of your plans. My mom tried that with me and it was so hard at the time and I felt so incredibly guilty and horrible, but now I look back on it and I'm so glad I moved out. Only YOU know what's best for you.
