Not really. With the permission of whoever has legal custody over you, yes, you can live wherever they approve of. If someone goes to court over custody of you, the judge would likely take your feelings on it into very serious consideration since you’re not a young kid. Otherwise, no. You have to be 18 to make the decision completely on your own.
