    Believe me on this one ! You... legally as far as consequences go ,are an adult at 17 . Having said this ... Means that if you do something wrong at 17 you can be HELD as an adult and go to jail . Which means some serious stuff ! But you continue to be your parents responsibility till you are 18 . Or yoiu can get imanciapted . But this means you will assume ALL responsibilities on your OWN ! Rent , Elect. ,Gas, food, health insurance , car insurance . You CAN be sued,and that means your parents can't bail you out ! If you are under the age of 18 it is unlikely that you are making enough money to cover just the rent . I've talked to my attorney , a family court judge , and 2 different police departments on this matter .... I know ! Some think 17 you ARE and adult ...only in the matter of being held resposible for your actions . 18 you ARE a legal adult . And are NOT your parents responsibility any longer .
