Emancipation

[BlueRhythm]

My question involves emancipation laws for the State of: Louisiana

My name is Eric, I am 16 and 8 months old, and live in Louisiana. I am extremely frustrated. My parents will not permit me to have a part-time job of my own. I try to get through to them, but they continue to say", you have more important matters to deal with." Well, yes, there is, but how in the world am I to support myself without a job? I have no idea. Also, they forcefully, make me do things that have no relivance to my life. Creating schedules and doing some of their paperwork are in that catagory. I have no freedom. I am 16 for God's sake, almost 17. I am almost an adult. I want to be an individual. I want to experience life on my own. They say they will give me money and the necessities, but to me, that is completely embarrassing. I want to live, not be controlled. I know my life may not seem that bad, but I cannot stand living here. My parents and I frequently engage in arguments. Controlling my anger, anguish, and frustration is extremely difficult. Live and let live. Is that so difficult?

Without a means of supporting yourself and a better reason than "my parents are too controlling", it isn't even worth looking up the statutes.

I am almost an adult.

"Almost" only counts in horseshoes.

Oh, how awful of them to expect you to do chores and pull your weight around the house! Surely this must be illegal, right?

You've got clothes on your back, food on your plate, a roof over your head, and a computer and internet connection with which to bitch far and wide that your parents make you do chores.

Adults call that "ungrateful", and so would a judge.

I do all that and don't get an allowance.

Think your parents would adopt me?

Is there a signup sheet somewhere?
