While this doesn't necessarily pertain to me, its more of my sister's situation.

A bit of backstory if you don't know.

My sister at the age of 16 decides to move out of my mom's house (divorced parents). She moves in with her boyfriend (which I think is a very stupid idea at this age, maybe in a few years, but not now). Now she expects my parents to support her even though she doesn't live with them.

Am I wrong in thinking that she's crazy to think that way, granted she's 16? If you are going to be living with your parents until 18-19, then they should support you, but if you aren't, they shouldn't in my humble opinion.
