Im 15.and Want to Be Emancipated

i need help. I want to become emancipated but im a 15 year old girl and i have no job because of my age and location. i have read up on some of the rules like how you have to be 14 and how you may have to pay a fee. but i know my mom wont sign the papers and my dad is no longer in my life.

the reason behind the emancipation is because my mom emotionally abuses me. i know this totally sounds fake but it is true. she doesnt know how to raise a teenager. whenever i come home with a bad grade she tells me that i need to do better and grounds me...which has no affect because she refuses to help me with my studying. she gives me no moral support. i have been called stupid and dumb. and when i show her my designs she sticks up her nose, doesnt say thats good, but she says it looks stupid.

When I have a boyfriend, she says it wont last...ike now i have a boyfriend of 6 months and things are going great...but my mom insits on keeping us apart and she never wants to drive my anywhere...although she says she likes him.

im just so sick of crying myself to sleep wondering if ill ever live a better life. because of her i used to cut...when she found out she didnt ask why, she just said dont do it again or your going to be "sent away". She never sits down and talks to me. and whenever something happens at the house its never her fault. its always me or my 10 year old brothers. she wonders why i never talk to her about my personal life...its because i know what she'll say...itll go something like, "oh thats a stupid reason to do that"

im so sick of living this way. somebody please help me.

Get a full-time job, support yourself 100%, and move out.

Then you will be emancipated.

thats going to be very hard. i do want to go through school. and i cant balance both a full time job and school. plus if i moved out id probably be reported as a runaway...

I didn't need to read anymore.

Who did you think was going to support you when you were emancipated?

Until you can answer that question, nothing else matters.

im am working on getting a job as i am typing this

That's great.

When you have a sustained income in excess of 1200 a month (take home), come back and we will talk more.

Oh, and start looking for an apartment to move into. Tomorrow.

And you are correct, no one will lease an apartment to a 15 year old. Good luck.

Nothing in these two paragraphs is illegal, immoral or inaccurate. In fact it appears to be good parenting
