I have always had pronlems with my mom but it got worse last night when my brother punched me and called me a"f*cking b*tch" for no reason other than he knows he can get away with it. And he is 12! And after all that I don't know what he told my mom but I got in trouble! I can't take this anymore. She says she won't let me leave but my friends that is my age got an amancepation? or something? What can I do to get out of here?!?

emancipation is where you become an adult and responsible for yourself. if you are unable to support yourself, don't do this. it'd be useless for you.
sounds like your family needs some serious counseling. you might want to talk to your mother about this stuff? if you brother continues to hit you, you need to be calling the police. just because he's 12 doesn't mean he's allowed to hurt you. if your mother is disregarding this kind of stuff, you need to take care of it yourself and involve a third party (school counselor, police, etc)

Give me a dam break, are you serious. Your 16 years old. You think you have it so bad where your at well trust me hun, it's alot harder on the outside and you won't like it anymore...
Stay at home, get yourself a good education, go to college and make something of yourself. Don't try and get out as soon as possible because you will regret it.
Yes you can get emancipated but it's not that easy, you have to prove to the courts that your physically and financially able to take care of yourself, you will need an education, a job, a house, a car, insurance, medical ect. It is very expensive.
Trust me, i left home when i was 15 (without getting emancipated) and although i was free to do as i felt, it was the hardest 5 years of my life living on my own, I am now 20 years old and i am just NOW starting to get my life on track but it is very hard......
Your almost 18 just bare it and stay..

Lol, I would have kicked my little brothers a** for hitting me. But any ways just go to school during the day and at night get a job. Save up your money and get a car, after that just say you have to work a late shift and you wont get out till 2 or 3 in the morning. Or when your parents get on your case just take a drive and relax.

If you feel you are being abused contact Child Welfare immiediately.... this isn't only for your parents, but for anyone else who is abusive towards you. They will get to the bottom of things for you and if need be pull you from the home. They are the ones that can help you get the emancipation process in the works if that is what you truely need. But in order to do that you must have a job and prove yourself responsible. I would advise calling them ASAP. They will help you to decide what is best in your situation whereas we don't have very much information to go on.

get a good job with lots of hours(to be out of the house more). save all of your earnings, and wait until your 18, so you can get an apartment with the money you have
you can also put like 90% of the money you make away each month so you have 10% for spending month to month

Stay home as long as you can.....Paying bills is NO FUN!!!!! I wish I could go back home. I have been on my own since 16 it was fun at first always partying no rules, tons of company but eventually you will turn into your parents. Enjoy the nice rent free life as long as you can

look all you can do is talk to your mom she has no clue what he is doing obviously and you are probably older so that is why also you are getting in trouble. this is what you do when your brother is no where near or in the other room talk to you mom. Say look mom brother calls me a ***** and all this and i really do not like it and he does this when i am not even doing anything i am minding my own business please can you stop him from doing this. I can not take it anymore i do not deserved to be called names like that. Just be mature about when you talk to her about this situation. Tell yes i understand we fight sometimes but this has nothing to do with this conversation i just want him to stop calling me these nasty names. I do not like it and he calls me them when i am not even doing anything i really would like it if you would have talk with him about it and tell him to stop. Please mom i really would appreciated this.
she will listen if you approach her with maturity and calmness and no whining.

Well...you could get emancipated.
But in order for that to happen, you need a job, a place to live, and a lawyer.
You could also just try talking to your parents..
