    Default Seeking emancipation help

    Im 17 years old,
    when i was 7 my mother passed away, she had me when she was only 18, and loved me like no one else could, she was by soul supporter . After she passed away i went to live with my father, which many people in my family felt shaky about, because my father has anger issues, he was single, he had been in and out of jail for drinking, and he had only been sober for a couple years. Due to the accident i recieved financial support from social security, life insurance and my case. After moving in with my dad my grades dropped to failing all my classes, i would go to school without breakfast or lunch, and i would have to extend after school camp till 7 everyday. When i went into 5th grade i was sent to a private christan school with 63 kids grades pre-5. my dad noticed i failed the last 3 years of school and he never helped me in any way through school. so he thought it would be a good idea to send me to a school with a smaller teacher to student ratio. my first teacher was from the phillipenes and she did not know how to calculate percentages, so i managed to obtain straight a's through my first half of my 5th grade year. She was eventually fired, and after getting assigned a new teacher my grades quickly went from a to f. after my fifth grade year, the school had to shut down to lack of kids. and i was then sent to a strict prep catholic school a block away. my first days in 6th grade went as suspected and surely enough i had the lowest grades in the class. my teachers noticed this, and really tried to help me succeed, which paid off in the long run. once again i stayed at after school care till 6 everday, than my dad met this woman and they procceeded to get married the following year. this was probably the most happiest time of my small family, she tried to push me and get me to do my work, but i was young. i had no work habbit, put no effort in(cause i never really had too), and no basis or structure to build up from. after my father got married his new wife started putting down these ground rules for me to follow by, it was ackward to be told what to do by it felt someone i didnt totally know. after my first failing quarter of my 8th grade year she convinced my dad to put me into the sylvan learning program. this is where everything started going down hill, i was mad the i had to go do this twice a week for two hours, and on top of that they charge tons. after graduating 8th grade i continued on to a catholic high school. which was great for my parents because it was only two miles away from my house and another two miles to sylvan, so they never would have to drive me anywhere again. so everyday i would wake up and ride my skateboard all the way to school and back, which is the worst thing when carrying a backpack full of books. after my first report card i continued to be grouned for the next 6months. i was not allowed to watch tv, use the computer, go to the beach, or skateboard anywhere else than to school and back. and that contiued on and off from my freshman year to the end of my junior year. with many fights, ive had handfulls of hair ripped out of my head, trash cans thrown at me, my head slammed in the ground, smacked, punched, and kicked. there have been so many things that have been done to me that has all been built up to the idea of emancipation. i have considered moving in with other relatives and told my father, and he told me wherever i go he well have cops surrounding that place and have me dragged out. than the begining of this year i met the love of my life. shortly after meeting this girl i continued to get my lisance and spent every second i could possibly spend with her. from 5 in the morning to 12 at night, and this has been going on for the last nine months and we are truely soulmates, and i believe theres a reason she came into my life. she is the one who has pushed me to look into further into the idea of emancipation. i cannot stand stand living with these people, there selfish,abusive, have never helped me, they have never financially supported me even after there buisness grew and own over 8 cars. i feel like i have been used and pushed off and some what neglected. so my question is what will it take for me to be emancipated and what are the first steps i should take to fullfill this need. i read the law and im still pretty hazy on where i should get the papers, so on, and so forth. i greatly appreciate taking the time to read my thread and would greatly appreciate a reply.
    thank you for your time,
    sincerely,
    will

    Okay - that was a long paragraph, which is hard to read. It sounds like you're not getting along with your parents and they don't approve of your boyfriend, but they won't let you move out. Is that about it?
