Should i stay or should i go????? Is 18 too young to leave home? I have plans, desries, things i want to accomplish. Things that are AWAY from home. But the questions arise...where will i really go? What will i do? What about a job??? Your parents always seem to have a plan for you. But this time i have a different plan. I have a goal in my life that i want to see fulfilled. Should i do as they say and "follow my heart"? The heart can be misleading, i know, but this other way sems so sure. I shouldnt doubt what i know in my heart to be true, just trust Jehovah...I dunno. When's the next plane to JFK airport????

Hmmmm... tough call... not really knowing anything about your home life would make it impossible to offer reasonable advice. Moving out on your own sounds good, but it is a real challenge. When I was 22, I moved out to PA to serve where the need was greater. I moved in with a brother who needed a roommate and found work. It was TOUGH!!!! One the one hand it was awesome since it forced me to grow up a bit faster, but on the other hand I was homesick. If you have a good home life, I would advise you to stay put. If life at home is unbearable and there is persecution, then it's really up to you. Just count the cost first and review some Awake! articles from a few months ago about living on your own...

Yo JFK isn't really all that nice of an airport....seriously though I moved and I got know some new people and let me just say, regardless of WHAT your problems are you will have new problems to deal with elsewhere...so don't think you're running away. THEY WILL FIND YOU

hey that's what I'm here for. i've moved...I've seen lots of the world...I've realized that even though i'm back now, that home is where you're from, regardless. Now that I'm back, there's some stuff I had forgotten about that I REALLLLLLY can't stand (for instance, why do I have to drive 50 mins to hang out with people?? Why are there no cool people near me? Why must the kids in my hall play video games NONSTOP and think that's fun?) But perhaps I'm just venting.
