My friend is 17, and graduated two weeks ago. he is uncomfortable living with his parents and wants to know if it is legal to move out of his home to live with me (one of his friends, he wants to be roommates.) we both live in the state of new York. most google searches don't fall under these circumstances so we decided to come here.

>most google searches dont follow under these circumstances
what circumstances?
>wants to move out
>legally cant
saying 'but he wants to move out...' doesnt change the circumstances.
if he has something serious going on he can get emancipated but he needs a way to actually support himself. if his parents legit dont care, consider just asking them. he probally isnt recently 17 and wont mind letting him get a head start, but you didnt tell us anything other than hes 'uncomfortable' so we dont know

the main question is, since he has graduated, does that change anything with the "wanting to move out" situation.
his parents are not supportive of the idea.

nope. if that was the case they wouldnt have an age to move out, they'd just make it after highschool.

17 is age of consent in new york, so I believe he is considered an adult by our standards.
what part of NY are you from?

no hes not. first google search says that 17 is when you can start having sex, 18 is when you can move out.
there are plenty of states where you can have sex under the age of 18 but that doesnt mean you can move out.
you cant drink until you're 21. just cuz one age lets you do one thing doesnt mean it will let you do all the others.
