So I know my life isn't as horrible as others but I've been thinking about getting emancipated but my dad has already said he will fight against it if I ever try. I've been really stressed out with all the rules he has been laying down on me and I can't do anything. I sit in my room everyday with my door shut having hardly any communication with anyone other than my friends at school because he hardly lets me go out and do things (though some of it is my fault). And I am trying to get our relationship back in order but my dad is just too busy with School and Work that I hardly see him as it is. And by the time he's done with his school, which takes a lot out of his time, I will already be graduated and ready to head for college. I know all the rules about emancipation because I have looked up a lot of information, but I also know that the court can keep me from being emancipated as well as my dad. So I was wondering if I have to have a good enough reason to gaurentee my emancipation?

Emancipation requires that you have a job, a place to stay and are capable of taking care of yourself

Why would you want to? Do you know how hard it is out there? It's a road you don't want to take, trust me. Look, as I stated a while ago, if you don't do the crime you likely won't do the time. Instead of getting upset that rules are imposed when you do something wrong you should spend that time asking yourself why do the wrong thing if you know something bad will happen? You should buy him a gift for punishing you not trying to emancipate yourself, if he didn't you would never learn the lessons that life has to teach you.

You haven't said how old you are, so it's hard to tell. One thing to keep in mind, no one will ever love you or take as good of care of you as your own family.
I HATED my parents when I was a teenager. Now I see they were just doing what they thought was best, right or wrong.
Good luck!
