Can I Get Emancipated or Something Similar

Well, $200 a month is what I get for Food Stamps. That's just for me. If you do the math...it is $6.66 per day.

If Cutie here is in need of food stamps to survive, then emancipation is off the table. For a court to emancipate a minor, she needs to show that SHE is capable of supporting herself - not that she needs the taxpayers to do it.

Honestly, no one was trying to be snarky to you. Everyone seems to understand the load you carry. The two responses you seemed to find offensive, were heartfelt. Missy, was trying to explain that even though you work hard, you live in a controlled environment. Pandy, was trying to explain the reality of how real life is, when you don't succeed and flourish. Continue showing the resolution you have until now, get through college and then worry about kicking the worlds butt.

Thank you all for what you have told me. I completely understand the points you all have made. I know for certain that emancipation is, by far, out of the equation. I assumed as much, but was not certain. I guess there is no other alternatives either.

However, I do not appreciate the snyde remarks such as kid, drama, and not knowing what it's like to be an adult. Those are quite insults to me, as no body up here knows me as an individual. If it was not noted in my original post, I carry quite the responsibility at home. How many sixteen year old girls will you find that could care less about what color their hair is getting dyed and when they get their manicure/pedicure done, but, rather, are outside all day working their butt off around a farm? Who care for the child of their sorry excuse of a brother in the midst of it? None of you truly know everything about me and who I am, so, please, be careful before you assume that every child is alike.

Also, I do own my furniture. I purchased a bedroom suit of my own at thirteen years old from money I had saved from various "jobs" such as occassional babysitting/housecleaning/etc. for extended family. I am very diligent with my earnings and have never blown it on extravagant things. It takes about $150 plus approximately 8 to 10 hours a day working amongs the various farm life and in the garden and working with any product to feed/clothe a family of four. Yes, clothe. I sew or knit everything my family wears. The yarn I use to knit with came off of the sheep in my backyard, which I sheared, then cleaned, combed, spun, etc. the wool. If you choose not to believe what all I have to say, then that is your folly. I have been raised rather well by my parents, if I do have the room to say so.

I have never been the type to embrace childhood. Being a kid is a false reality of life. That is why you have so many people running around in this world who act like children even though they are in their twenty's or even thirty's. Most people think that there is little responsibility growing up except taking the trash out or leveling up in the next hottest video game that comes out. They are very wrong. And almost everyone else won't have a clue how to live when they can't just run up to the grocery store and buy a can of beans and some frozen chicken. I know what life really is, and nobody can tell me otherwise.

And to clear the air, me not having something to do with my life is not drama. I truly work to live, and I am approaching the time in my life where working doesn't come without a paycheck. My parents LOVE that I am not a child and they can depend on me to work and care for the house/household. They believe a woman should not be the one who works to earn money, but rather the woman in Proverbs 21. I respect my parents, I truly do. But they were raised in an era where everything in life did NOT revolve around money, and a whole heck of alot of things in today's socitey does. It makes me mad, honestly. Money has become this world's god. In order to be able to do anything anymore, it requires money. That is what I can't get through my parents' heads.

If I have to keep doing what I am now, and wait until I am 18, then so be it. I'm willing to accept that fact. Thank you all for your responses, they deffinitely answered my question. :)

Oh, and college for me is just a pain in the rear and a whole lot of money being handed out to get a single piece of paper so that people can then say I know something. A piece of paper does not mean a thing outside of how men choose to view you. I already know 90% of what I am "learning" in college. I already KNOW what I'm being "taught." I'm just getting that stupid piece of paper so that, for once, maybe people will actually think I know what the heck I'm talking about. College is a money making gimick that so many people fall into. Society is just getting dumber as it goes, and I thought people would be smarter than what I see out there, but it's just like extended HS. I did harder work in my HS that I'm doing at the campus now. So no, I'm not going to stayin school. I'm getting this degree so I have proof that I might actually know something, and I'm done.

The key to success is not in getting a degree. The key to success is getting a marketable degree. This means researching the STEM field you are interested in, then determining the best choice for an accredited program that the industry will recognize. Obtaining those degrees should serve you well.

All righty then

If you want people to think you know what you are talking about, no piece of paper is going to help. You need to start by learning about whatever it is you're talking about.

And you need to learn to spell.

"Until", not "Untill".
"license" not "lisense"

Tough noogies.

Until you reach the age of majority, you are a child.

Until you actually live on your own and support yourself 100%, without any help from anyone, you have absolutely no clue what adult life entails.

Get over yourself.
