(1) Have you researched what it takes to move to America? You would need to demonstrate a specialised skill or profession and a sponsor who is willing to say that you possess a skill the workers in America - or those in the area - do not possess.
(2) You could get married to get into the US. You are too young for that and to do so would be foolish - extremely so.
(3) You would need the permission of your parents to move, after you fit the above criteria - AND you would have to move to a state, such as California, that recognises emancipation of children of 15. Yes, children of 15. Most states do not allow children to leave the family home until at least 16.
(4) I think you may be dreaming, unless of course, you are filthy rich, then in that case, simply show immigration you have enough money to support yourself then fly to California.

You are WAY too young to be over here by yourself....IF you have relatives here that you could STAY with for a while that would be better then running away permanently.... besides, you probably have two parents (or at LEAST 1) who love you VERY VERY MUCH and would be very lost without you.... Fifteen is a tough age for a girl to be over here in America as well. it's just a part of growing up.... In 3 years, you will be 18 and legally able to do and go wherever you want (as long as you have the money to DO so)... give your parents that 3 more years with you because after that, the time can NEVER be brought back again.....accept that you will be staying there for a few more years and make the best of it....

Legal, Yes. Difficult, Definately. I cannot image being 15 years old and living in the U.S. by yourself, I presume, and have to get a job or go to school (with what funds?). It would be very difficult and I am assuming in the question that you would move by yourself.
If you are moving with your family then it's a different story because it's just the adaptation to the U.S., as with any foreign country. I lived overseas for 4 and a half years with my family and it's the adapting to a new environment that takes some time. Once again though I don't know if you are talking about moving here on your own or with your family. It would be difficult if you are on your own but with your family you will be fine just remember to drive on the RIGHT side of the road next year.

Its possible but not just like that.
Do you have people in America who you want to join? Do you have people who are willing to sponsor you.
If you turned up in the USA having a settled background in the UK they'd firstly laugh at you and secondly send you back sharpish.
You could go on a visitors pass and then outstay your visa. That way if you are settled and you can make a case with support from a US citizen you might stand a chance.

By your self? That probably isn't possible at your age. Do you have relatives over here? You could live with them. Also, perhaps you could try one of those exchange programs where you could go to high school in America and live with a host family. If you're not interested in that, wait until you go to college, and apply here. That might be your easiest option.

Wait till you're old enough and then make up your mind freely. Till then, be respectful to your parents/guardians. When you come of age you will then have to join the queue in THE GREAT ESCAPE!

I don't think it would be hard for you to come here as a student, at least temporarily. I'm sure there are lots of exchange programs you could look into.

where would you live and how would you support yourself. Where would you go to school?
in other words, maybe it isn't about whether or not its legal or wrong but whether its realistic.

Sure, as long as your parents move here as well. You are not old enough to immigrate on your own.
