    Default Emancipation

    My question involves emancipation laws for the State of: North Carolina

    Hi I recently told my parents that I am gay. They are from Iran and hate gay people. They havnt physically hurt just emotinally and verbally. I told them and they think I am going through a "phase". They are trying to make me straight.... they think its a choice. My curfew is now 4pm..., I leave school 3:50.... They say I am not allowed to have any gay friends. They WILL NOT even let me buy cloths or accesories I like even though its with MY money. They frequently diss gay people and keep telling me that gay people have no meaning and they have no future and they are mentally retarded.the problem is that when they say these stuff they make me more and more depressed. I pretty much come from school and sit on my couch, sleep, wake up go to school and its allll a cycle except weekends when I work. But its the same as soon as I get home I pretty much sit and sleep. Im not allowed to leave the house alone only with my parents... This has made me very depressed. I have a job and make about $500 a month. I have calculated if I live with a roommate it will cost about 300 for rent AND utulities. I have calculated the rest for food ( I know how to cook very unexpensive foods) cloths, and other neccasities. By the time the emancipation is complete I would also have more than $1200 saved up. Everyday That I spend in my house I become more depressed. Is this a case that might have a chance?

    P.S. I am 16. they also frequently say they are ashamed of me which even makes me more depressed. Im not rly finincially dependent on them, Most of my furniture and items ( bed,computer, t.v., lights, tables and chairs) have been payed by me.

    SORRY for long post but I need help

    Also They always check my comp history, and once took it to the police because they thought I was gonna run away. I also pay for my cellphone bill AND I usually do good in school (tho these few last days I have been doing very bad cause All I can think about is What can I do?) I am a teacher assistant and pretty responsible.

    Did you check the stiki at the top of the thread before you posted.

    By the way, your parents being strict or limiting with whom you associate are usually not valid reasons for emancipation.

    So u think good parenting is telling ur own child that he is mentally retarded and that they cant go anywhere. Do you think its even healthy for me to go to school then home then school and not have a social life? Im already shy and this... its just gonna ruin my future...

    Not having a social life is not abuse
