    Default Re: I'm 17 and I Want to Get Emancipated

    I lived in georgia my WHOLE LIFE it is NOT hot there like it is here, i'm constantly dehydrated here. i LOVE the humidity. It's dry as a desert here, except now that it's been flooding, something else i didn't have to deal with till i came here.
    I didn't know i was medically emancipated here, in other places i'm not, and where i'm from in georgia, the water and gas is free in most appartments. The rent is usually 400-580, for one bedroom, sometimes two. And as a manager i'd be making a bit over 1500 after taxes.
    I meant that i only need 50 for the phone because i don't like contracts, even if i had the credit, and then i was listing my other bills as internet and electric, not saying i don't like them, i need those. Not internet but it is very helpful.
    I lived south of atlanta, and i've searched every appartment in the austin area, surrounding, there's only a few places, and the others are much too far from work.
    I don't /need/ hud. DROP THAT because i don't need it.
    Not having top of the line brand new clothes from hollister and all those other worthless brands doesn't mean i don't look nice. I mean if i need a dress or something really fancy, i'd get it fitted.
    And i know my job is underpaying, my dad makes 3 times that as a manager else where, but all the other jobs here are taken or are also under paying, if not the same pay. So i'm not dumb and naive for settling on a job that can give me the pay that i actually need. Yes, a higher pay would be nice, but i'm not going to whine because i don't have the best job in the world, there are so many people that don't have jobs and i'm extremely grateful that i do. And i do know georgia has a huge unemployment rate, why do you think it's so inexpensive to live there? I have friends there who are struggling. But as i said, i would get a job TRANSFER. I would be ON FILE to work in another location, not quitting my job and trying to get rehired elsewhere, trust me, i know exactly how that works, my fathers managed different businesses for about 26 years.
    Also, no, i'm not sexually active, i believe i have something wrong with my cervix/uterus, i get a lot of pain from them, and it's not cramps. They want me to be on birth control because of over frequent periods, but my mom wouldn't allow it, and as i said, i didn't know i was medically emancipated, i assumed since i can't do anything else until i'm 18 that i can't do that either because in other places i can't. And it's 18 in georgia, where i grew up. Also, yet again, 4 hour walk to the nearest family doctor, hospitals and gynos are further. On a highway.
    And the acid reflux? i avoid several different foods so that it doesn't act up. And those relieve heart burn, not loss of appetite and constantly feeling full after about 4 bites, the other symptoms are fine, but nothing over the counter has worked for the other issues, i've tried several, even the most recommended. Might not be related to my acid reflux since it doesn't work, but that's what a doctor told me the one time i actually got to go when i was staying with my brothers. By the way, i payed that several hundred dollar bill myself, for a 30 minute checkup on my stomach.
    You obviously live in some "super special" area in georgia. Either north of atlanta or the south end of the state, i'm assuming, usually those areas are full of overpriced or luxury housing.
    As far as me making 3 times the rent? that's not delusional. say the rent is around.. 500, a common rent price there, multiply it by 3, what do you get? 1500. What will i make? 1.5-1.6. How many times the rent is that? just a bit over 3.
    Internet isn't over 100, i wouldn't use a lot of electric, so probably about 150, maybe a bit more but anything above 200 is stretching it.
    And phone bill.
    That's 300 in utilities, 500 in rent. That's 800. I'd only be spending about 300 on food a month, i'm one tiny girl and i don't eat 5 times a day.
    That's 1200. That leaves me with a bit over 300 to just do whatever i want with. More than likely into saving or if i do need something else.
    I'd be fine as far as living costs goes, like i said, several apartments i know of include gas/water. There's 3 in particular i know are very nice and affordable with great management that i can live in easily, i've known people who live(d) there.

    I'm sorry that the statues sound broken, and excuse me that i am TRYING to do research. What do you want me to do? Pull the facts out of thin air and read the same page 60 times until i magically know every little detail? The statue doesn't give me every bit of information i need, it gives me the basic lay down, and i have more questions that no one on here wants to answer because they're too busy arguing instead of helping at all. Not my fault, being an adult doesn't make you mature, and apparently none of you listen, and none of you can ****ing calculate a damn thing.
    I can pay for everything i need, WITHOUT ANY HELP. So stop. The judge isn't gonna say "you can't buy one outfit for 400 dollars, you can't live on your own." In fact they'd say it's immature to waste so much money on one outfit, and that it's easier to buy 2 closets full of clothes for under that price.

    You're all immature and judgmental and you're literally just sitting here wasting time that none of us have. So unless someone is actually going to answer MY QUESTIONS. You're wasting your time because i'm done wasting mine on your all mighty and powerful adultness that has you up on your high horse with an air balloon of a head.

    You have been told on at least three occasions exactly where to find the information you require. That you are unwilling or unable to find it is none of our concern.

    When you post on the public internet you do not get to say who answers your thread, or how.

    and we are the immature one's?

    oh, and if you are not going to be in Texas long enough to complete this, you will have to start all over in Georgia, once you meet their residency requirements, if they have any.

    Little One, you are not the final arbiter of who may or may not post here.

    I, however, am.

    You've been spoon fed the law. The law says NO.

    If you're not bright enough to understand that you're not the specialist snowflake for whom the law will fall down, you're in no way a candidate for emancipation. Not because we said NO, but because the LAW says NO.

    Run along home, child. The grownups have better things to do.

    Except you forgot this thing we grown ups pay called TAXES (I can use big red type too). And no, I don't live in Atlanta, nor do I live near Savannah or the other end of the state. Believe me, I have children older than you. You can't convince me you know what you're talking about better than adults that have been on this earth, lived on this earth and worked in the court system longer than you've been born. GA isn't cheap because because of the unemployment rate genius, it's cheap because of where it is and it's proximity to other things. Not to mention the fact that southern states don't import as much crap as western states do and the regulations are looser. They also tax EVERYTHING as opposed to states that tax certain things. Your food is taxed here, where in some states it's not. Your clothing is taxed here where in some states, it's not. Your OTC medications are taxed here, where in some places it's not. You've got issues with your woman parts and reflux? How do you think you're going to be treating that with that $300 (minus the stuff you didn't think of)? Copays, medications, hospitalization, surgery in case they find something in your parts that mysteriously won't go away. People in my household have reflux and have had reflux since they were babies. Miraculously, the prescription medication that we have in the house is OTC. We only have a script for it because it's cheaper with our insurance *but you have to have a real good, high paying job to have that kind of insurance*. I guarantee you your job that pays below the poverty level doesn't have good insurance. Oh, BTW... your dad's $4500/mo is still not an amount that impresses me but it's a whole lot more than you make.

    You'd actually have to live a little in order to know that.

    I think the problem isn't that she hasn't been spoon fed the law. That has happened repeatedly. The problem is that she has a fantasy and refuses to believe that the law won't magically pave the way for her fantasy to come true.

    I'm ashamed that no one gave the poster the CORRECT answer, which, obviously, is this:

    If you bang your head against the wall hard enough and long enough, you'll lose several teeth. Put those teeth under your pillow, sprinkle it with the pixie dust that you crap out, and the emancipation fairy will grant all your wishes.

    See? Simple!

    And then wonders why people won't take her seriously as a candidate for adulthood.
