I know I repost this a lot, but today is that day, and there are so many others that might see it and get help.
For teens in abusive or troubled homes, 18 is considered the age of majority making you a legal adult. When you turn 18, it is your legal right as an adult to be able to pack your bags and leave and no one can stop you. This applies in most states in the USA, and most European countries (including the UK). Be safe, and if possible, do not let your abuser know you are leaving (this applies for everyone leaving abuse, not just teens). For anyone and everyone, anyone who tries to isolate, humiliate, control, or manipulate you, be it a significant other, family, friend, or coworker; this is abuse.
