How can I convince my parents to let me move out? Please help?

I am 17 and going to be 18 this December, but I really want to work at Panera Bread after High School. My dad wants me to work at a relative's restaurant, and I don't like it as much as I do for Panera Bread. I have convinced my dad that on Friends, they aren't working at their relatives' restaurant, but all he said is that they don't live at their parents' house anymore on Friends because they got jobs and moved out on Friends. I really want to move out and live at my grandma's house after High School like they did on Friends, but I feel worried that I wouldn't like it if I move out and live at my grandma's house after High School like they did on Friends and would come back home if I move out and live at my grandma's house after High School like they did on Friends. How can I convince my parents to let me move out? Can you help?

Thanks.

    Life is not a tv show. You can't relate reality to a fictional show. You can't move out and expect to pay for all the expenses that come with being an adult on a part time job. Go to college and you can move into a dorm or go to college, get a real job and then you can move out.

    You obviously have a whole lot to learn before you move out of your parents home. You sound immature for a kid who will turn 18 in a few months. Listen to your dad and mom, they have more experience than you, and it's their job to help guide you into adulthood. Life will never be like those scripted TV shows that you watch and want to copy. Moving in with your grandma wouldn't do you any good. It would only stunt your emotional growth. You would still be relying on adults to take care of you while you merrily skipped along playing grown-up at a job that will take you no where. At least if you worked at a relatives restaurant you could be taught how to cook quality meals & how to run a business. Plus they would be more understanding & flexible if you decided to take some college classes to further your education.

    Does granny want you? You are taking a lot for granted by thinking you can ape some TV show and land on her.

    Work where you want.
