If your parents have the ability to pay for an attorney for you, then yes, they should get you an attorney. You can do them a favor and pay them back for your representation since your behavior is going to cause them to have to expend money.
You do have the means to pay for an attorney, correct?
Oh wait...the minor can't sign the paperwork for a lawyer, can he?

PS: Had this been me, juvenile detention would be looking like a nice option.
Not myself, I don't. I don't have a job yet. Wouldn't an attorney be appointed to me if I can't afford one?

I have pretty bad anxiety whenever I leave home, and I love my parents, so I don't want to leave them. However, our opinions clash on too many things and it's interfering with my school and happiness. I couldn't go to a detention center. It was hard enough when I thought I could move in with my boyfriend...
Who told you that you were entitled to happiness?!
OK, apparently you need some parental advice as well.
Being a teenager is ABOUT stress and not being happy. You're all stressed out because of life, you're unhappy because you can't get your way with your parents and each and every person on this board went through the exact same thing when they were a teenager. I have a teenager (well, 2 months from adulthood) and he'll tell you that I stressed him the hell out a lot and he was VERY unhappy at some points. That's life. When YOU have kids, you'll find the same thing.
You think being a teenager is stressful? Try being the parent of one. It's great being headstrong and convinced that you have all of life's answers and your parents just don't understand (Will Smith made a song about that). If what's going on at home is interfering with school and your social life, then you need to change the way you behave in your parent's home because regardless of what YOU think, they're the authority figure, they pay the bills and they make the rules. The truth is what you think DOESN'T MATTER, or at least it only matters to the extent they want it to.
You don't have the right to put your hands or your feet on your parents and you're discovering that your actions have caused you a WORLD of trouble that is probably going to follow you right into adulthood. Why? Because as a CHILD you want to get your way? Little girl, go have several seats.
Girls who run off to go live with their boyfriends as teenagers don't end up with those same boys 30 years from now, so ask yourself this, IF you were to move in with him and it doesn't work out because LIVING with someone 24 hours/day is SO MUCH DIFFERENT than seeing them a few hours a day or spending the weekend with them, where are you going to go then? When he puts you out because he doesn't want a needy girlfriend hanging off the side of him and starts seeing someone else, what happens then?
You are ill prepared to deal with yourself while someone else is supporting you, what makes you think you're prepared to take on ALL of the responsibilities of an adult. Take it from me, ADULTHOOD SUCKS. It only sounds fun to kids who don't have to be adults - and you have the nerve to live in Michigan. Apparently you haven't picked up the WSJ or anything to find the jobless rates around there.
Am I not?
