The short answer: Yes
The long answer: A person can move out of the parental dwelling as of their 16th birthday...but there are requirements. The teen must be living in a "safe" environment and must either be continuing education (successfully) toward a HS diploma or a trade program. If not in continuing education the teen must be working a part time to full time job. A combination of working and continuing their education is acceptable. Now, the definition of "safe environment" is complicated. If there is drug use, alcohol use, emotional/physical abuse, sexual activity, lack of food or appropriate shelter, lack of employment or lack of continued education then the parents can work through the legal system to have the teen (forcibly) returned to the parents control.
One common issue is a teen moving into a boyfriend's/girlfriend's dwelling. This situation is almost always viewed as an unsafe environment.
In NC, if opposite genders are in a dwelling from dusk to dawn there is a legal presumption that sexual activity has occurred, and this would be an unacceptable environment. Additionally, in NC if the elder person is 5 years older than the younger then the senior person has committed a crime if the younger person is under 18 years old, again, an unacceptable living arrangement (legally) which will likely lead to the older being charged of a sex crime as a sexual predator.
Now, if the teen moves in with the GF's/BF's parents house, then this may be viewed as acceptable as long as the teen is continuing their education and they are supervised by the adults and the teens do not cohabitate/sleep in the same room.
The concept behind these rules are the assumption that the teen requires parental guidance until they are 18 years old and otherwise legal adults. NC recognizes that occasionally the teen's parents may not be able to provide an appropriate environment for the teen. The issue is safety of the teen.
If you move out and your parents object, anticipate that you will have to prove the safety and appropriateness of your decision to the local law enforcement / court system. The decision must be well founded with supportable information as to why you moved out as well as the type of environment that the teen wished to live. If the teen moves into a safe environment and continues education the teen may be able to remain in the new home.
