Is there anyway for me to get away from my parents?

Nope... and, worse, they are the boss of you.

If you're being abused or neglected, talk to a counselor at school or call protective services.

It is my understanding that you would have to compile substantial evidence and submit it to the courts that would allow them to determine that your parents are unfit parents. You havent mentioned any physical abuse or neglect in anyway. Sorry but I am sure that them not allowing you to participate in sports would persuade any judge to grant emancipation.

This is completely incorrect. Children of unfit parents are not emancipated. Instead, they are placed in the foster care system. Having bad parents isn't a pass into emancipation.

If you don't know the answer to a question, it is best not to answer rather than guess or to express your opinion of what SHOULD happen.

Thanks,

What exactly are the grounds for neglect and if I try to get away from my parents and put into foster care will my siblings be put into foster care also?

Suppose you tell us what, other than not letting you participate in sports, your parents are doing or not doing that you are categorizing as neglect?

Tell us: How do your parents neglect you? You're hungry? You don't have adequate clothing? No shelter? An untreated medical condition?

No point in going over the grounds. If you think you're being abused, call authorities and report it. Only THEIR opinion will matter anyway, so why second guess them? If they determine that removal for neglect is warranted, yes, you can expect ALL minor children to be removed. Whether or not they will remain together or be split up cannot be known in advance, as it is very dependent on the exact resources available at the time of the removal. They'll try to keep siblings together if possible, but it depends on the number of siblings, their ages, any special needs, etc.
