I'm not a lawyer, but I think when you are 18 you can do whatever you want.

He can't. You are considered an adult when you are 18.

Once you turn 17, you are not considered to be a runaway. The police will not return you to your parents.

Make sure you finish school.

If you have made the right choice in friends, your friend or his/her family will make sure that doesn't happen, and the police will help, if necessary. If you've made a poor choice of friends, then you could be in a world of trouble.

I suggest you first find some mature adult you can trust, someone who will look out for your welfare. Let them know where you are going and who you will be with. Sounds like you don't yet have enough experience to make safe choices just yet.

at 18 you are an adult.

That also means --YOU--are financially responsible for taking care of yourself.

"mooching off others" is not being financially responsible.

I don't mean to sound harsh, but every story has 2 sides to it.
