I say, do it, but don’t live alone. Find a good roommate. You’re young and vulnerable to dangers away from home and have no experience. Find 2 other young ladies if possible. Find what it is you want to do; have a solid plan. Have a back up plan if things fail or don’t go the way you want. Be prepared for anything that may happen. Explore, see what there is where you go, you may find you live it or hate it, but at least you had the chance to go beyond your comfort zone.

I moved out of my country at 22, after graduating from Law School. I moved from Europe to China. Has been the best experience, got to know myself better, felt mentally strong and independent.
I don’t think you are too young to leave your state.
Age has nothing to do with it. If you have the means to support yourself and ALL expenses for 6 months should something happen to your source of income, then go for it. If you do not have that much of an emergency savings then carefully reconsider your plans. I had it made from 19-22 in the military and 2 years after yet it took ONE mishap to ruin my finances due to not saving when I could.
stay home and save somebucks. you got the rest of your life to be free and won't have your parents forever. One of the smartest moves I made was to get on solid financial footing... one of the smarter decisions in life. you can still have fun, travel, etc..

Nahh just go for it, I mean you can always get back but if you're able to move, then do it
Parents will never want you to go... it's up to You to break the apron strings.. are you ready? if Yes, then you need to prove it to them, they will always think of you as their child... when you are 45 and they are 70... they will still feel like you are Not old enough... Seize your life.
Well I understand what your parents are thinking and of course it would definitely want you home. But I say life is an experience then you don't understand it until you experience it no matter which way you decide to go they're both good options
I say you move out asap.
Better get going with the adventure.
Your parents are just worried but parent always worry anyway. The sooner you take command over your life the sooner and stronger your growth will be.
Good luck! 😎i left home at 16 so all i can say is if you feel you are ready then do it... now im 55 i can tell you lifes too short
Its dangerous to go somewhere without a job or a place to live. You can end up homeless. But it's easy to get a job at a resteraunt or something. I've done it. But my car was too uncomfortable to sleep in, so I was not having fun.
I moved to a different state when I was 24. One of my best decisions.
Go and explore! You're the perfect age. You have a lifetime ahead to be "stable".
''Stability'' is an illusion.
Do want you think needs to be done.Same age I moved across the country, go for it. You only live once
that depends on where you’re going if it’s a big popular city then yes like if you’re going to Texas don’t go to Houston go to Fort Worth or something
Yes, if you don't have a job waiting for you then you need to save up, so you have at least a year of income saved up
No, not at all. You can always move back if things don't work out for you.
take your parents advice, too many end up as dead prostitutes.
Nah, that’s not too young
Leave the state for where? To do what?
As long as you plan the move
Do what your heart wants.
