Options Before You Are Eligible For Emancipation

[dukebabii09]

I have a similar question. At 15, I am a sophomore in high school. In October of 2006 I moved in with my mother and stepfather. We constantly argue and they threaten to send me somewhere else and I threaten to leave. I realize that if I left without permission I could be classified as a runaway, as I have done so in the past. After extensive research, I have come to realize that in December, when I turn 16, I will be eligible for emancipation. However, living in these stressfull conditions is becoming unbarable for me. I constantly find myself depressed and angry. Are there any other options for living arrangements until I reach 16. I realize that there are several things that I need to take care of and prove to the court upon turning 16 and I am preparred to do so.
