[XxiwantoutxX]

Is there anyway for me to get emancipated from my parents? I am 15. I am a freshman in high school. I want to get away from my parents. They are not supportive of me... I recently got into this relationship with a guy. The fisrt boyfriend i havehad in a long time. He makes me happy. You would think that mom and dad would be happy... NO! they beat me down! I got in trouble for kissing him! and like, my dad, went way overboard. he took my DOOR! and he was about to whip me... i woudnt let him. so he grabbed me by my throat and picked me up off the ground! i was coughing up blood! i went to my room and tryed to kill myself. It is HORRIBLE! my friends are very supportive in my decision to move out though. My dad, i havent told him about me wanting to get emancipated yet... I am scared of the reaction he will have.. i dont want him to hurt me. All my friends say i should let him hit me.. to seal the deal ya know... but what do i do? I have a place to go and i can get a job at 16. I will be sixteen in march. I am going crazy here! Is there anyway out?? i am doing everything i can to restrain my self from inflicting bodly harm to myself.....HELP

If you are being abused, call Child Protective Services.

They will not, however, emancipate you. They will put you in a safe environment... like a foster home.

Just in case you haven't bothered to read Aaron's link, let me tell you that no judge in any jurisdiction will emancipate a child just so they can date someone that their parents don't like.

Emancipations are very rare. You have a much better chance of running into Justin Timberlake on the street than getting emancipated.

Without a job or already living on your own and taking care of yourself, you have no chance at all.
