I would just pack up and leave. Stay in school and keep working or stay out of trouble. If the parents do try to get her back she can refuse and say no and give the reasons . Tell them you are going through emancipation. You are to old to start any court proceedings because you will be 18 to soon. Keep working ,go to school and stay out of trouble and you won't have any problems. If your parents say come home tell them to shove it .Threaten the parents with the police. As long as you have your act together and are safe no one will bother you. Like Nike says JUST DO IT.

Yes it is the law in the UK.  You cannot let a child leave (unless to an adult guardian) before the age of 16 and neither can they leave of their own free will. The police will return them to home xx

17 is the age of consent in Texas, but please don't do this to your parents.  I know they are difficult now, every person that has EVER been 17 has experienced this phenomenon.  Try talking things out with your friends that are your age. I promise you that they are going through the same difficulties that you are experiencing.  Please, please, don't run away.\nMaybe you could stay  with a friend, temporarily, who's parents seem more reasonable.

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.

18, you must be a legal adult. OR have forms stating you are emancipated. All underage people must go diretly to passport control.  \nNo mail in's.

At least 18. That way if your parents find out and get pissed, you won't feel bad after that 31 year old gets locked up.

You have to be at least 17 with a parents permission, and the maximum age is older than 35 now, I believe it is 39.

Legally, it's up to 18, however many feel it's until they move out.

It would mostly depend on if one's parents pusued the matter.  However, there are certain shelters which cater to teens who for one reason or another, are no longer living at home.  The age of consent is usually a guideline used by most states for seeing an individual as competent enough to make their own decisions.  The reality of the situation is that most landlords in Maine will not rent to anyone under the age of 18 without parental consent and some form of financial agreement.

If everything is in order between you and your mother, I see no reason why you couldn't venture off on your own!  Check the local laws and statues in your town.  Usually 18 is the adult age, but there are exceptions to the laws in some areas.  If you go live with a relative and you are "underage", then a guardianship contract would have to be amended by both partys, your parents and your live-in relatives or adult-head of house.  But I really don't think they will make a big thing out of just being one year away from adulthood for you, or anyone else, anywhere!  I say, just pack your bags, and with your mom's blessing, go off and find your destiny my child!  Have fun and stay out of trouble, ok?  LOL

legally when your 18. At that time you can enter into contracts legally, and your responsible for your own actions and mom and dad can finally kick you out of the house.

Yes, but your 17, and self-suficient, check with your local authorities or Legal Aide Society, you can probably be legally emancipated.

You must be 21 in most cases.  In some cases you can be 18 or 19 if they dont serve drinks.

I would think that would be fine. However, you should check your local and state laws. Some states have an age requirement, also some have an hourly limit as well. For example 3 hours is ok, but more than 4 becomes neglect. Some have neither. I know there are some states that require them to be 14 years old.\n\nI think with you being so close , that it doesn't really count as leaving them home alone.. but again, I am not certain.\nBest bet is to make sure so noone can get into trouble.\n\nGood Luck!

At least 18, unless your parents permit you to have one earlier!
