I Would Like to Move Out

I would really like to live on my own, away from my parents. Living with my parents is extremely depressing. They have all these weird rules. I can't wear dresses or skirts or anything that ends at my knee or is shorter. I can't stay over at my friend's place. I can't spend the money that I've earned on my own and I don't even have control over my own bank account. They've never even allowed me to date. They never respect my opinions when it comes to taking any decisions and they make fun of my mental health issues, and constantly body shame me. To be quite frank, I seriously wish I had enough money to move out and live on my own.

If your mental health issues require you have a guardian ,there are group homes and assisted living facilities that take your check and give you an allowance ,,but you are somewhat on your own ,you have a guardian you choose ,but your getting your feet wet at living on your own .
If you don't need a guardian ,there is vocational rehab
they will train you for a job and help you find one after training ,
If you don't have an actual disability
The state (I am telling you about things in the US ,but I am aware other countries 18 does not mean you can just move out or there are programs to help you become self sufficient)
But in the US there is also work force
They will pay for you to go to a vocational school /college
to train you for all kinds of things ,
What is the reason your over 18 yet your parents have so much control over you ?

@SW-User I know. It is. I just wish I could get into a university in a different state and move away.

@SW-User I'm currently about to finish my Bachelor's degree. My parents didn't let me leave for college but I'm trying to move away when I begin studying Master's this year.
