Yes, you're still a minor:
There are actually three ways a minor may become emancipated:

Get married
Join the military, or
Go to court and have the judge declare you emancipated (judicial declaration).

Do I need my parents' consent to get emancipated?
Generally, yes. Minors who are not emancipated need parental consent to get married. In addition, minors who wish to marry must obtain the consent of a judge. Likewise, to join the military, a minor needs parental consent. To get emancipated by a judge, a minor must give his/her parent(S) notice of the court hearing, and the parent(S) may go to court to contest the emancipation. Through it all, keep a good relationship if at all possible, with parents, you need each other.

Take care !!
