Understand that you are a teenager, and the teen years are notoriously difficult for teens and their parents. Talking to a school counselor, religious leader, or other trusted source can help you and your parents deal with difficulties in the household.

Perhaps your parents are willing to allow you to live with a relative for a period of time. All they would need to do is file a power of attorney on your behalf so that the person you are living with has authority to act in your best interest.

Why do you want to be emancipated to begin with?

Even if you were of age to apply (you're not), and even if you did have the money to support yourself (you don't), if you don't have a really good reason for wanting emancipation, the courts won't grant it.

Good reasons would be that your parents are dead and you need to be able to legally enter into contracts in order to keep the house/keep the lights on. "I fight with my parents" is not a good reason.
