Help With Emancipation

[EkstatikX]

Lately, I've been thinking about getting an emancipation. I've been going through a lot with my family, but I'm not too sure if I could deal with it anymore. I've tried keeping it in, having patience, everything; now I just want it to end. What should I do? At the moment, I'm 14, turning 15 this year, in July. I don't have a job at the moment, but I'm planning on getting one.(very soon) Is there any way I could get an emancipation? Or do I have to wait until I'm 16? Also, I need to know how this whole thing works. I can depend on myself completely, I just need more knowledge to the point where I could for good.
