A minor over the age of 16 may petition the court to become emancipated.  This allows her to be independent.  The link below explains and offers more information and links to forms.  Otherwise, she is stuck there until 18.

The mandatory school system goes from grades 1-9. After that, there is still high school until 12th grade + university.

I have an 18 year old step son who just dropped out of school at the beginning of his final semester of his senior year.  Dumb, dumb, dumb...  He is living with friends - has been through 3 jobs in 6 weeks - and has no vehicle any more because he couldn't pay the repair bills.  You can ALWAYS go back to college, but you can NEVER resume your high school career.

A student is automatically considered independent if he/she...\n\n* is 24 or older\n* is married\n* has dependents other than a spouse\n* is a veteran of the US armed forces\n* is an orphan or ward of the court\n* is pursuing an advanced degree\n* has a prior bachelor's degree\n\nHowever, you can "appeal" to be considered independent at any age. Schools know that there are cases in which a "technically" dependent student is really independent. There ARE provisions in the Federal Student Aid regulations that allow for a SCHOOL (not you yourself) to make exceptions to a student's depdendency status. Most schools will make exceptions in cases of abuse or the death of the students' parents. Many schools will also make exceptions if you can document that you truly are completely self-suffient. You will need to submit proof that the following statements have been true of your situation for a while (usually about 2 years)... \n\n* your parents don't claim you on their tax return\n* you pay for your own housing, food, utilities, etc.\n* you pay for your own health insurance\n* you pay for your own transportation (and, if you have a car, the car insurance)\n* you don't receive any other in-kind support\n\nIf you think you can submit this information, give your school a call and ask them what their specific policy is. They should have one in place and you have every right to know what it is.\n\nRemember: if you submit fraudulent information your school can deny you aid and you may be subject to other penalties. And remember that covering your tracks doesn't simply stop at your tax return: your school's financial aid office can request just about anything if it believes that it has received conflicting information.\n\nYour school has a reason to be picky when it comes to these things: Financial Aid offices are subject to annual audits. If their auditors pull your file and notice that undocumented exceptions to your dependency status have been made, their ability to give financial aid (to anyone, including you) can be seriously jeopardized.

You can be any age.  You just can't have a debit or credit card until you are 18.

Your guardian would have to withdraw you from school first.  But, you may need to be at least 16\nPray really hard before you make this life changing decision.

No, the laws have a age and height requirements, once you reach a certain age there is no longer a requirement.

You have to be 18.  If you're under that then you have to have an adult with you.

Generally, once a child turns 18, he or she can be kicked out of the parents' home.\n\nIn some cases, the child doesn't even have to be 18 to be kicked out of the home.\n\nhttp://www.faqfarm.com/Q/Can_parents_kick_you_out_of_the_house_if_you're_under_18

If one does not have a parent or guardian who makes them complete school, you will have many dropouts. Parenting is powerful.
