I wish there was more choice in the matter, irrespective of which culture your're from.
If people in the West felt it was alright to live with their parents they should do so. If people in various parts of Asia wanted to move out at 18, that should be allowed too.
If I as much as mention something about moving out to my(Indian) parents, they'd think they screwed up as parents/they'd think I was a sex and drug addict/they'd think I want to disown them.
But I know that moving out would do great for me right now, but I gotta suck it up and live here till I find other means.
