[quote=Anonymous]I had a college bf who had moved out when he was 16 and lived on his own due to family conflicts. He was fine but it depends hugely on the kid. I had a friend with 8 kids (single mom) most of whose older kids split when they were 16 although they would typically move in with one of the older siblings (like 18). I knew someone else who had a major stroke and ended up in a nursing home around the time her son was turning 17. She actually ended up with a guardian (another friend) but he did not, although his mom's friends were there for help if he needed it. That being said, the ideal is not for him to be all by his lonesome no matter how hardworking and responsible he is. Definitely need to make sure there is someone who can make emergency medical decisions if he is unable to and help if any major issues arise. [/quote]
