Is my best friend moving in a good idea?
We're both going to be 17, I'm already 17, he is in february; his parents are highly abusive and he's getting emancipation right after his birthday.
I've known this guy for more than 9 years and I've completely trusted him and so do my parents, until lately whenever we hangout he's done some changing of plans that cost us time and trouble.
Other than this, I think he can be trusted, and my parents agreed to the idea even though they're not entirely happy with it.
Sound like a good idea?

Moving in with your best friend will change the dynamics of your friendship at any age. Most end up fighting and either end up ending their friendship or realizing that someone needs to move out. Out of the dozens of friends I have seen live together in the past 4 years of college roommate swapping, it has worked long term for about 4 people. So it is possible.
However, the good of helping your friend out of an abusive situation far outweighs the possible effect on your friendship. Plus, you still have your parents to mediate. It's not like he will be able to bring home loud wasted people in the middle of the night or leave the entire house a complete disaster, so you automatically don't have to worry about a lot of the things roommates fight about. I think the good out ways the bad here and you are a good friend for helping him out.

It depends on how well you get along under stress. My ex was my best friend for about 5.3 seconds, till we moved in together. We clashed so bad it got frightening. My husband and I have been best friends since before we got together. We moved in together over a year ago and nothing has changed. Still my BFF.

Well I can see why your having trouble on deciding. Although, letting him move in with you would be the right thing to do. He doesn't have any other safe place to go too as of now. Besides, you'll have lots of fun living with your friend!

I would think it is a good idea for him but if he is getting in lots of trouble you should talk to him about it.
