According to what I found online, the legal age of majority is 18. Although you may be able to leave, the police can also return you to your parents.

And honestly, if you moved out, you still couldn't rent a place to live, or do anything like it requiring a legally binding contract. No one anywhere in the U.S. can enter a legally binding contract until they are 18 years old or are emancipated. And I found further that there are no emancipation statues in South Carolina.

No. You must be 18 years old, or have yourself emancipated, otherwise you would be considered a runaway and could be put into a juvenile detention center or at the very least, returned to your home.
