For purposes of legal age, 18 is the legal age in South Carolina, (except for alcohol purchases which is 21), but you can be treated as an adult for criminal law purposes at age 17. Sounds confusing doesn't it. Unless it an abusive situation, I would not leave home, because it is a cold, cruel world out there.
