As a minor you are not legally responsible for yourself.Talk to your parents and / or grandparent and do it legal . If you really feel threatened, talk to a counselor at school and suggest the involvement of CPS and family court. Do a lot of talking because you don't want to loose your family for good. Wish you luck.

At the age of 14, everyone's home is "mentally hostile."
That's just life.
And to answer your question, you must be legally emancipated from your parents through the court system.

Legally? No, I don't think so. It might depend on your state's laws. If your home is mentally hostile, you certainly have a very good reason to want to move out. Report the problem to Protective Child Services. Tell them what is going on so they can look into the situation. If you have other family members who are willing to take you in, then I'm sure it can be arranged. Good luck!

Reporting a parent to cps is a SERIOUS THING to do, and I strongly advise you to think twice before jumping in to do that. I don't say that there are no parents who are abusive... but in all honesty, 90% of what teens BELIEVE to be "abuse" is in fact, a parent who is doing their job to control a teen. Do teens like it? No... but there is a major difference between anger in a family, and a teen who is being mistreated or abused.
I am not ignoring the fact that you are unhappy and want to be in a happy home. I am sure that you want to see yourself as mature and capable. Assuming that is true, it is important for you to look long and hard as to if what is needed here is some compromise. Compromise means you are willing to look at both sides, and ask if you can help make things better, or if you are playing a part in the conflict by rebelling against your parents.
99% of teens have conflicts with parents. It is standard operating procedure. That does not make it abuse.
IF in fact, you are being abused... and I mean beaten, left without necessities like food or shelter.. then of course you need someone to step in.

No, and that would be a criminal offense for anyone to take him in! Interference with Custody is a crime!
No state has an emancipation clause for a 14 year old and if he thinks it is mentally hostile CPS should do an investigation of the home for Emotional abuse and he should be evaluated by a psychologist! PSY. D. preferably!

As your legal guardians, your parents have the right to decide where you live; you would have to either get their permission to move out or take it up in court.

You are still a minor and you cannot leave your parents home just because you want to. They will have to sign over guardianship to whoever will take you so that you can get medical care, go to school, etc.

What exactly do you mean by "mentally hostile"? Do you mean your parents fight with each other, or that you don't get along with your parents?
