Can You Get Emancipated if Your Parents Won't Let You Switch Schools

[tennesseegirl]

My question involves juvenile law in the State of: Tennessee.
I've been thinking about emancipation for awhile now but now it seems that it is my only option. I was wondering if I tried if I had valid reasoning for emancipation. I am 16 years old, I go to school, and have a way to support myself. My parents verbally abuse me (about my weight, appearance, abilities, etc) and have my whole life planned out so that i attend school, work, and am on two sports teams; I'm beginning to think that this schedule is going to make my grades start to drop which will hurt me in my future plans of going to college. They also know I have been being bullied at school for almost a year now but refuse to transfer me no matter the circumstances. I would like to be emancipated so that I can enroll myself in to a better school, plan my life approprietly to fit my future plans, and all around get away from the enviroment I'm in. Would my case pass in the court of law?

You haven't read a single post here about emancipation, have you?

Do that.

No. You would not have a prayer of being emancipated based on what you've posted.

Follow Doggie's advice if you want to know why.

What you are experiencing is not abuse. What would you do if, once "emancipated" and living alone (on what money?), you experienced annoying comments from strangers? Co-workers? It's called life.

You won't be emancipated so the point is moot but these are things you need to think about.
