There is a place I have heard of where you can stay under 18, and be considered as, and have the responsabilities of an adult

In Pensacola area you can enter most at 18, but they mark your hand with a big X so that you aren't served alcohol.  They also charge a higher cover charge to those under 21.

Easy.  Go down to your local police station and ask.  They would be more than happy to check for you.  I bet they would even give you some fantastic accommodations while they check.

You would have to be at least 18 for a bank to legally be able to give you a loan.

In the US, Yes. Unless you are officially emancipated, it would then be illegal for you. Your parents have full responsibility of you until you are 18.\n\nOk the stuff that your listing is pretty much child abuse. Even though you are a young adult it's still considered "Child" Abuse... most likely if you can convince a court that you can support yourself, or just convince them that your mother is abusing her responsibilities, then you should be able to get emancipated. \n\nLook for your state's website and then try to find the child abuse and ask them if that is considered child abuse and what they think you should do. How long until you are 18 ?

Usually you will have to sign a contract of some sort with the hotel.  It would cover any damages or anything of that sort.  Only some who is 18 can enter into a legal contract which would limit you to being 18 before you can get a hotel room.\n\nSome hotels will have even greater age restrictions.

ya have to be 16 then you can get emancipated and you have to have $10,000 or a way to support yourself. That's the way it is in MT at least

dont know the laws there but I doubt it is leagal.  Maybe for a half hour to an hour max but I doubt that even. Your too young.  especially with the 6 year old there too.

Legally they can't force you.  But since you will be 18, legally they are not responsible for you either.  Pick your battles.\n\nYou push the button to stay b/c you are 18, next thing you know they could start pushing you to pay rent, etc.\n\nPersonally, I would go on the vacation.  A week or two of time is far less than paying rent each month.

It is if you are under the age of consent

Of course you have the right to be pissed off!  Hey you're 18 you're considered an adult!  Just sit down with your parents and tell them how you feel about the whole situation.
