To the best of my knowledge it is 18 in every state except Nebraska, where it is 19.

amber:

South carolina is at the bottom of the barrel for education and for the quality of the women since so many are like you quitting school moving out and winding up pregnant by 18

It is your enviroment which is causing you to act like you are retarded, Why not do something really really RADICAL how about staying in school and graduating, going to college and not getting pregnant till you are 30, do you know how few South carolinian women can do that?

I knew exactly ONE....in 7 years of living in SC.

I don't think I knew any...I lived in Branchville for 5 years. Had to actually fight Branchville high to let me go to school...they didn't believe that I had a right to an eduacation.

To answer your question, i believe you can legally move out at age 17, but morally if I were you, I'd stay in school and build your life. its not easy out there...

Steps To Prosperity

Currently, one-third of our students in the
Palmetto state do not finish high school, but as
Live 5 News discovered, state high schools
may be getting a shot in the arm geared to
help kids succeed.

"Knowing a skill when you leave high school,
can benefit you no matter what you're gonna
do."

Suzette Shaw is excited about a new state
initiative called "Steps to Prosperity" which will
give students valuable skills they'll need to
enter the real world. Shaw, a career and
technology teacher at Fort Dorchester High,
says the new proposed curriculums will help
young people keep in step with the ever changing workplace.

"This is gonna help them narrow down the gap of class choices....what they
need to choose and maybe help find out where their talents lie, so that
they can be ready when they leave high school."

The aim of the program is help kids learn vocational, or technical skills.
Learning things like health care, carpentry and even photography.

"It continues in and of itself to promote education here in the state of
South Carolina....and at the same time improving workforce development."

A growing workforce that is largely made up of high school students.
Studies show that nearly half of all students today opt out of college and
go straight to work, leaving the school system with an even greater role.

"As far as technology's concerned, we have to find how to educate all of
our students and make them a viable, employable element in our
economy."

Specifically, the new program will focus on adding more art and business
classes. Allowing students to design their own paths towards graduations
and reduce the number of students per counselor to 300. And these steps,
the school system hopes, will spell success for education.
