What's it like to be emancipated?

My Parents might Be emancipating me for my 16th birthday i want to know what its like i need information does any one have any to help me out

Answer #1

I remember when I turned 18 it was had enough motivating myself on my own with out my parents to continue school, and go to work full time… There are so many other responsibilities that come with being an adult… taxes, medical insurance, loans(chances of getting one arent likely), at your age it may seem like you dont need your parents for anything like money or advise, but they are still your parents and I would maybe take a GOOD LONG look at myself if I am scaring my parents enough that they dont want to be responsible for me or my actions any longer.. that is a red flag for me that you are on a very scary path… I just hope you make the right descisions and not get caught up in the parties or lifestyle, and really use it to your advantage such as for a career.

Answer #2

You are still a child yourself. And you are pregnant! Why don’t you continue to live w/your parents and have the baby, then give it up for adoption. Children as young as you are do not make good parents. Give your baby a chance. When you are emancipated you are basically on your own. Unless as kokomowillett mentioned in his answer find someone to live w/that you can share expenses. It’s not safe out there for young girls who are by themselves. The Lord be w/you.

Answer #3

try to stay with a caring older relative dont move in with a boyfriend stay in skoole if you cant stay in skoole worke your but off to make a buck (do not run the steets) but do anything the dirtyest job posseble with the hordest boss if thats all thats going down at the time. If you cant stay with an older relative place an add in the paper for a roommate. if you are out on the street befor any of that works out check into a womans shelter it may be beter to move a smallways out of your home town to avoid locale droma that may have been the couse of problems in the past
