Can you prove yourself as an adult by getting a job and pay your own bills then could you move from your parents at age 17?

The only way one can prove themselves to be an adult is to actually be one, and that means waiting until you are age 18 (some states it's 17). At younger than 17 you got it made - free rent, clothing, food, entertainment, lodging, transporation, family ... gee, why ruin a good thing by having to go to work everyday for the rest of your lives. Get that education ... even if it means living at home ... you won't regret it later on in life ... it may be rough at times living at home, but compared to being "out there" on your own, living at home as a student is total paradise. Been there, done that ... if I had it to do all over again, I would have done things very differently.
Btw, There are some who even at age 45 with jobs and paying their own bills don't qualify to others as even being an adult :-) !! So age alone and having a job isn't the only answer.

The laws may vary from state to state but typically anyone over the age of 18 is responsible for their own bills and the parents are not. An unpaid medical bill is no different from any other unpaid bill. When the bills of your deceased adult child begin to show up, normally you can write "Deceased" on the envelope and mail it back to the company. Check with a lawyer in your state to be sure.
