My friend talked to me about this and we decided it would be best for her if she got emancipated. Her home life is no doubt troubled and so are her parents. I think she should talk to someone about this to help her with this decision and guide her with this. Who should she talk to? A social worker? A therapist? Also, i know NOTHING about emancipation. So it would be great if you would give me some basics.

A lawyer.
Once emancipated, YOU are your own adult supervision. You are a legal adult and you get to pay your own rent, power bills, gas bills, car payments, insurance bills, taxes on your house, food expenses, clothing expenses and any of a hundred other bills. YOU get to pay for an unexpected car repair that can run into the hundreds of dollars. YOU get to pay a doctor bill or a dentist bill, at the time of service. In cash, too. You get to pay your lawyer to get you out of jail because you got drunk and crashed your car into a 7-11. Once you are free, free, free of those nasty, mean, domineering, bothersome, nagging old parents, life is more beautiful than you could possibly imagine. You get to get up very early in the morning, fight your way to work on crowded streets to a job that doesn't pay enough, take abuse from your boss all day, fight your way home on crowded streets, get home, make something to eat, look at the pile of bills on the kitchen table, wonder how you'll pay them and then at about 8:30, you'll go to bed, sleep not too well, get up dead tired and do it all over again. You get to do this for about 30 years, sometimes 40 or more. For still more fun and excitement, add a few kids, a mortgage, a spouse in failing health, et cetera...

I think you definitely need some adult intervention before you start deciding she would be better off on her own. Life is much harder and more complicated than you can even imagine. Have her call a social worker and talk to them, they know all about it and what to do.

A priest, minister, doctor, sheriff, an attorney, or police will be able to help. Also, if in a large city, there will be a department of children's and family services listed under the state in the phone book. She will also need counseling. God bless you both.

Girl, I tried to look that up, but I don't know what emancipated is.
If she's troubled, though, a good psychologist may be your answer. They can find out where she needs to go from there.

Depending on the state you're in, the age to be emancipated (to be set free) changes. She should speak to her guidance counselor at school. Your conversation with him/her is confidential. They will guide you thru.

Have her call Social Services in your state. They will direct her.
