Move out and pay your own way. It's best to do it now while you know everything. In a few years you will realize how woefully ignorant you are. It's a sad day that everyone faces.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Colorado

Congratulations. You're an adult. Time to put on your "big boy" panties and accept some responsibility for your choices.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Colorado

I have littlle pity for an adult that whines about his/her "abusive" parents. At 18 I lived on my own and paid my bills. As many do...Not a biggie.Awesome! Do what I did at 18. I moved out. WHILE I was still in my senior year in high school. AND I still graduated.
You are going to be fine!
Yes, there actually was. OP has the choice of moving out if he is unhappy with his situation. Legally, that's a perfectly valid and logical piece of advice.There seems not to be one good piece of advice.
Or, as no one suggested (because service to one's country is the very last thing on the "minds" of most folk ), you could join the US military.
He could play for the Broncos: nobody would notice. Probably best for everyone.Um...Silver? How about he goes and plays second-string for the Jets or something, instead? I'm not sure our military really wants him...
I might add that NOT ALL 18 year olds are mature enough to handle being out in this cruel world on their own. I feel bad for such individuals, many whom are victims of Parental abuse. It would be nice if ALL parents are aware of their need to guide their children so they can handle being on their own at such an age, but unfortunately, that is not too realistic to believe.There seems not to be one good piece of advice. Congrats to everyone who responded for stating the obvious and being super tough. Everyone who lives with their parents after they turn 18 is a weak person who should move out. (sarcasm)
I was also out of my parents house beforwe I was eighteen, it was a bad decision.
If at all possible and reasonable, try to stay and save some money or get an education. This will help immensely in the future. goodluck.
