Can they make me come back?

[Unregistered]

Hi, I turn 18 in about a week. Unforuntately, I still attend high school, but FORTUNATELY I am set to graduate early. I was curious if I left the day I turned 18, could my parents make me come back home due to being in high school? PS, I live in Tennessee.
I'm ready to get out of here; I really am. I'm ready for my new beginning.....

Re: Can they make me come back?

Hi there,

Thank you for your message and for reaching out to NRS. It sounds like you are going through a difficult time at home and are in need of a change. Unfortunately, we are not legal experts at NRS and are unable to discuss the legal consequences for your situation, specifically. Typically at age 18 you are considered a legal adult and your parents no longer have legal guardianship over you. If you are looking to talk to someone about your specific situation there is a organization called Child and Family Tennessee which provides legal aid to youth and can be reached at (865) 523-2689 ext. 500.

We also want to remind you that NRS is available 24/7 and is entirely anonymous and confidential and here to help in any way possible.
