I'm not well up on law but I'm fairly sure you are allowed to leave home at 16 with no permission - it's marriage you need permission for, and that's only in some countries. Don't do anything hasty, but visit your local council housing office and explain the situation - they can give advice and put you on their list. The only trouble with being 16 is the lack of benefits available to you. If your boyfriend is in work and could cover the rent you may be able to rent privately.

Is your mum someone you are normally able to talk to? Is it just Xmas that's got in the way? If she's approachable i would tell her how you are feeling at the moment - maybe the thought of losing such close proximity to her grandchild will make her calm down a bit and compromise with you.

Whatever happens and whoever you seek advice from, don't let anybody patronise you.
yes you can but you will not be entitled to be on any lease or rental agreement and i am not sure if you can claim benefits but you probably will have to
Stay where you are , its probably a short term problem whilst your parents lay down the rules, They I am sure have your interests at heart , if its warm and there is food make the most of it , most teenagers are a pain in the butt at your age so there needs to be flexibility from all sides If your boyfriend has a job and can support you and a baby , best of luck to you ...happy families .......
I wouldnt move out. Unless its a violent situation. Right now I rent and have 2 little boys (5 & 1) and its not as cheap as you might think it is. I would stay home as long as you possibly can. Look at your relationship with your boyfriend too...are you sure its a forever thing? I know its aweful to think that, but whether you live at your parents home or with him, if your relationship is meant to be, then it will be no matter where you live. Give it time. Tell your parents how you feel and you neer know, all could be settled with a bit of adult conversation. Is your child still a baby? If so, hormones will still be running high for a while and you dont want to do anything too quickly.
Good luck!
not sure on this one- i know someone who left home at 17 and went to her sister's but her parents called the police who went round to get her and took her home. think council will put you in a womens refuge for now and then possibly house with parents written permission. as i say i aint 100% on that. pron best checking with citizens advice
Hello love, if you live in England you can leave home at 16 but you will find it really difficult to rent privately or with the council/housing association because of your age. I work as a homeless officer and if you go to your local council they will try and mediate with your parents so you can stay there. You dont say why you want to leave but please think carefully before you make a decision, if you want to chat about this you can contact me [email protected]
Take care
