emancipation??

I want to be on my own. I cant handle living at home with my parents I feel streessed and depressed. what can I do? im barely 15 and will turn 16 in a couple of months. what if I move out with my 22 year old boyfriend??

Answer #1

You can’t just be emancipated because you don’t like your parents. Not a lot of people do like their parents. And no, you can’t move in with your boyfriend because I’m sure somehow that would be illegal seeing as how you’re a minor. You need a GOOD reason to be emancipated. How would you even support yourself? You would have to pay bills, insurance, rent…so many different things. You can’t support yourself now, so unless you can prove to child services that your parents are somehow hurting you physically or are emotionally neglectful to a very high extent, your only option would really be to live with other family.

Here’s a better question; why do you think a 22 year old is interested in a 15 year old?

I think first you should speak to a councelor, maybe like at your school. Tell them how and what you feel. You should aslo try talking to your family about the issues. If Im not mistaken, I know you said your boyfriend is 22, would that have anything to do with you not wanting to be with your parents? I’ve been there and done that. I dont reccomend moving in with your boyfriend cause your life hasnt really started. I know you are gonna hear a lot of things you dont wanna hear, but trust me its the truth. The best thing you can do is focus on why you are depressed and talk to someone that will keep your info confidental like a school councelor. Then focus on what you would like to do in a career for when you leave high school, and your grades. If your boyfriend does really love you, trust me he’ll still be there. Like I said trust me, I was 16 and my husband was 23 and we’ve been together ever since. This may will be 9 years and this aug 7 years of marriage. But keep in mind this is rare and its best for you take care of you and your future. Also about emancipation, it probably has to be for a really good reason. but you can always ask your councilor or better yet an attorny. Just google one for emancipation in your area and just go with what they say. But one thing you must remember, always think before you act. Weigh your pros and cons. Like just for example if you were to get emancipated and say you did move in with your boyfriend, well worst case senario something happened between the 2 of you, where would you go, do you have a job, money, car. If I were you maybe try to stay with a realitive until you heal inside. My cousin didnt want to live w/ his mom and he went to live with my uncle and he’s doing a lot better, mentally and his grades. Just remember to always weigh your pros and cons.
