How old were you when you left home? 18

What was probably one of the biggest challenges that you had when living on your own? Juggling school and work? paying bills? room mates? juggling school and work & roommates because all 3 of my roommates had grown up together in a small (i.e. one stoplight on the main drag) north GA town

How has the experience made you feel thus far? What would you change about it? i def. like college better than high school and i wouldn't change anything about it because you learn from how you lived your life etc... and i wouldn't want to change that because then i wouldn't be the person who i am today

What advice would you give to a parent faced with the prospect of a child that has to leave the nest? what people said before ... keep the "umbilical cord" attached (giving a monthly living allowance) but other than that let your kid live their own life and make their own decisions good or bad

Under what circumstances would you let your child return home or you would give them help? well school breaks obviously, if they had car troubles, but other than that .. you're on your own .. everybody has to grow up at some point

Which do you think is harder to cope with: a daughter learning to live on her own or a son facing the same thing? probably a daughter because of all the double standards that exist in today's world that favor guys
