When Can A Minor Leave Home

My name is Rachael and I am 15 years old. I will be turning 16 May 28th. I live at home with my mom, my step dad, and my little sister. If you want to call it a home, me and my mom for the past year have been fighting non stop. Screaming fits and physical and mental abuse. I cry myself to sleep every night and i can admit to hurting myself from her. I carved " 4 U MOM" on my arm because of something that happened last summer. She grabbed me by my throat and threw me to the ground all over some stupid little thing at some girls house. She has threatened to kill me before and my step dad has threatened me as well. I have no criminal record and I'm scared to even come home. I stay anywhere but home and do everything I can to make it that way. I'm home maybe 4 days a week but stay in my room. My mom and me tried fixing things but it just fell apart all over again and I'm sick of trying. I know a nice family who wants me to move in with them. I would have a full-time job and have enough money to pay rent for a camper they have out back. Would I have enough reason to move out?

PLEASE HELP:wallbang:

Are you the same girl who wants to get pregnant by a dope pusher?

I'm not saying I want to get pregnant by him. I was considering it. But I don't want him in anymore trouble so I won't. But yes, I am I guess.

Is your drug pusher 19 year old boyfriend the subject of the fights you are having with your mom? DUMP HIM and I bet things improve at home.

They don't even know I'm dating him. So he can't be the subject.

and it's been like this since even before matt came into the picture. she doesn't even know i know anyone with the name matt. i don't talk to my mom about anything, all she does is yell or tell me to go away.

Matt is not the answer to your problems at home. If your homelife is truly as bad as you described, then you should talk to your school counselor, your minister or priest, your doctor or child protective services.

i have already talked to the conseler. nothing worked. they just told me to write a letter to her and i did n it all feel apart.

You're an unemancipated minor. If you run away from home it's just that - running away.

Self-mutiliation, by the way, is not considered by courts to be a sign that somebody will be able to responsibly care for herself if emancipated. Quite the opposite.

Hi i would like to kno if while i am 17 i can leave home with out the permision of my family to live with someone esle with out being made to go back home? i dont want to stay there any more and i do not want to live there is they any way that if i leave i will not be made to go back home? i live in florida

Until you hit 18 in Florida (as in most states) you live where your parents tell you or allow you to live. Beyond that, police can and will take a runaway report, enter you into the national system, and will either return you home or have parents come and get you if you are found. They can also charge anyone allowing you to stay with them against your parents wishes with a misdemeanor crime for doing so (contributing to the delinquency of a minor).

No ... and don't hijack 2 year old threads to post things that are outlined in the sticky at the top of the forum you were supposed to have read.
