Emancipation Help

[girlneedhelp]

I am a sixteen year old girl, living in the state of Michigan. I live with both my parents. The house that i am living in currently, is a bad environment. My mother is not suit to be handling kids. But that is my opinion. She is thirty eight years old, and has more friends that are my age than i do. I currently have two part time jobs. One i work twice a week for 6 hours total, the other i work everyday. I think that i would be much better off on my own than living here. I would like to get my license but my mother would not allow me. I want to be in school almost everday unless i am sick, because i actually want to go to college. My mother likes to keep me home, and i attend to fall back on my grades because of this. I believe i do not need anyone else's help on supporting myself. Every morning i help take care of my little siblings, I wake up every morning at 6:30 and have the kids ready by 7:30 to go to school. I attend sports, so i go to practice when ever i need to. I attend my job all times i am required to work. My parents both believe i am irresponsable, and uncapable to taking care of myself, I believe other wise. Other reason i wish to be emancipated would probably not be good enough for emancipation, but i would like to state why also i believe that it would be better to take care of myself. I am on the varsity wrestling team (only female on male team), I normally weigh around 112, she made me go 103, by doing this, she fed me laxitives to help me lose weight. And by doing this, i became to have bowel problems. She has also forced me to do things with men (boys my age) that i did not wish to do. She provides tabacco to underage children, and at times alcohol. This is not a good eniviornment for me to be living in. Any information about all of this would be perfect and i would greatly appreshiate anyone who is willing to help me.

Remember, emancipation is all about supporting yourself. Keep up the good grades and figure out a good budget to show the court that you'll be able to financially support yourself (rent, utilities, phone, transportation, food, health insurance, etc.).

Then see the steps for emancipation in Mighigan at:

What your mother is doing is illegal. You need to report her. The things that she has done to YOUR body can cause harm to you later in life. If you are worried about her getting in trouble, don't. She's an adult and knows the laws. If you worried about her finding out it's you, go to the school nurse and confide in her. She by law, has to keep the conversation between you and her (can't reveal to your mother) and she also has to report your mother by law. Go to school whether she wants you to or not, this is also the law.
Btw, she does not have to let you get your license.

I love my mom, but i do not believe that she is resonable enough to actually be a mom to a teenager. I do not wish to make my little siblings go with my dad, or i do not wish for them to be taken away from each other or my mom. All i wish to know is if i have a possiablity to be Emancipated. I understand how difficult it is going to be for me to be living on my won, but i blieve tha i would do a better job at raising myself than being with her.

You dont get to make the decision if Mom is capable of raising a teen or not! Contact CPS let them decide
