Nor will they emancipate you for the reasons you state. Nor will they emancipate you unless you can demonstrate that you are capable of supporting yourself ENTIRELY. That means that you, and you alone (your bf's income will NOT be counted) are able to pay 100% of the rent, food, clothing, utilities, transportation, medical care, insurance, school fees and supplies, and all the other incidentals of life. If you cannot, then all the reasons in the world will not be enough for the state to approve your emancipation, even assuming that your county will consider doing so (not all counties in PA will).
