under the Emancipation laws they can legally make me a adult by 16

Answer 1

Sounds like your parents are all wrapped up in themselves and refuses to see you as an individual. There's nothing wrong with a 3.2 GPA. Perhaps they're afraid you won't receive a scholarship unless you carry a 4.0 GPA. If they feel this strongly about the grade issue then check to see if the state, you live in, will allow you to be Emancipated.
It's just too bad they are behaving this way - they are missing so much of your life. Have you ever tried sitting down and having a long discussion about this......try to let them know you're studying as hard as you can - you're just not a 4.0 person. Good luck.

Answer 2

First of all congradz on being in Ap classes cuz those classes aren't for everyone so that is a great accomplishment!!! and your parents should be more understanding and take in afect that you are taking college level classes as a soph or Jr in high school and you have a hard work load and if 3.2 is your best, then tell them is the best I can do and I wish you can support me!!!

Your parent can't by law kick you out of your house cuz you are a miner but that doesn't mean take advance of that right...just do your best!!! I hope this helps!!!

Answer 3

Are you working to the very best of your ability? Generally educated parents will reward the effort, not the result. For example, you're telling us you can't study for hours on end, but do you spend a lot of time on the computer wasting time (and do they see this?) If so, then they could honestly say youi're not trying your best. Are you asking for extra credit and taking initiative in class by participating? Do you help out at home, or are you constantly out with friends, on the phone/comp/ps3, or do you really REALLY study? Do you do to tutorials? They might know if you're not working to the best of your abilities. I don't think they'd honestly kick you out, they're just at their wit's end to get you to work to the best fo your ability. Sometimes parents have no other weapon than this. Just truly try your best, get off the computer, and study. They know you have the potential to be so much better; don't be mad at them for trying to motivate you, just prove them wrong and try harder. And do keep your chin up, okay?

Answer 4

Your parents can not kick you out for not reason. If they really wanted to emancipate you they would have to go in front of a judge and tell them why they think you need to leave the house.

How would it look them telling that judge that they want you to move because you are a 3.2 student and they want you to be a 3.5.

Other then the judge laughing at them I think he would call them bad parents.

Answer 5

There is alot of things you can do if you want to do that to your parents. If they do kick you out you can go to child services or the police. You are doing much better than alot of students are and they don't see that. Talk to your school guidance counceler and your teachers. Ask them to help you prove you are doing your best. But either way you are not having a healthy relationship with your parents. If you are really telling the whole story then your parents need a reality check. You don't deserve to be treated like that. Shelter is a basic need and not to be used as a privilige.
Good luck and I hope things get better.

Answer 6

Yea I got kicked out two months after I turned 18 but luckily I had a job since two weeks after I turned 16 and has 5000dollars to move out but that only kepme for 6 months then I was living check to check stay at home until you finish college! Its hard once you are on your own. Much easier to listen to your parents and do the little things they ask. O and I got kicked out for getting caught going to a party. But seriosuly try to find a job I know the times are rough bt you are gonna be skrewed if you get kicked out without one! One tip is I rented a roomfor a while to get rental history and t was cheaper.

Answer 7

They're probably trying to scare you into getting a higher GPA. If you are doing the best you can maybe do some community service and do some other work. It may be cheap but at least you can defend yourself by saying you want to be well-rounded student and doing tat takes away ur study time.They may also think your not trying your hardest so make sure they see you when you are studying and not just see you when you are on the comp, wathcing tv, etc.

Answer 8

Your parents are morons.

There is no logic to the statement "they were 4.0 students so you can be one also". The fact that they actually believe this is why I say they are morons.

The fact is that you have your own unique strong points and weak points. They should encourage you to DO as much as you can do correctly, not make stupid illogical statements followed by threats.

Answer 9

All you can do is try your best and show your parents that you are trying your best. If you put your mind to it you will be able to achieve that goal. It must be hard for you to have such strict parents. Mine were the same, but I had to obey what they said because they are the adults and I live under their roof. They feel they knew what was best for me at that time and I knew they were trying their best. So, I busted my butt, even though it was hard I did it and what a reward it was in the end.

Answer 10
