My mom and me haven't really been getting along so I'm really considering becoming emancipated. My friend moved out for the same reason and he hasn't been happier so what do you think?

u can look this up but from general knowledge i believe u need either uncontested consent from the parents or a ruling from a judge. to get that you must prove that you can survive by urself ie. job, apartment, safe environment. u will probably have
someone checking on u to see progress if u get it.
on a personal note: what is easy for one person might not be so easy for u. teenaged boys dont really care about much but to eat poop and sleep. as a young lady independence is good but you dont want to get out there too early at such a young age. its a messed up world out there with messed up people. i wish it were different. and so if you can put up with your mother, then i suggest you comunicate and figure it out or just be the bigger person and let it go. its pretty common to not get along with you mom. if she hits you or verbally abuse u then its another story. SERIOUSLY nothing beats a free bed and free meals. u will learn that quick when and if u get out on ur own. STRESSFULL

It really depends on the state you are living in.
No matter which state you are in, you will need to go in front of a judge and tell them why you want this.
Telling him you and your mom do not get along might not work. He may just say you need counsling.
With my help my daughter is trying to do this. We have gone in front of a judge and he asked her if she had a budget for her finances and what her plan was for the future. ? He has also asked her about finishing school and how can she if she has to pay bills when she moves out.
You also have to think about these things.
Can you support yourself by yourself.?
Where will you live.? Alone or with someone. Living at a friends house with their parents is NOT living on your own.
Do you have a bank account.?
Do you have a car to drive youself to and from work.?
Are you going to finish school and/or go to college.?
If you are still in high school, can you finish high school on time and still work enough to pay your bills.?
What is your plan for the future.?
It takes a lot to live on your own and be responsible for yourself.
Do you think you can be emancipated and if something (god forbid) goes wrong can you call your parents to help you. If not who can you call.?

To become emancipated you either don't get support from your parents or you are married. Sometimes they just check your level of maturity but mostly its that you are living out of the house and are mature. Well, if you feel prepared and want to live out of the house, I don't see why not. Good luck

It depends on what state you live in. I personally don't think its a good idea. Like your friend he isnt any happier. Its normal for you and mom to clash at times. It's hard on her .She worries about you maybe even over protected but that's mom's for you.Why not just ask her if she would find a counsler for you to go visit and work your problems out.At least till your 18 and then leave without any garbage going with you ,when your on your own,and paying rent,working etc.
