varies from state to state. Starts with employed and able to support yourself in almost every state.
Call children's services if you have a real problem and not just a bad case of teen angst.

no and for a few reasons 1. you are 14 2. you have proven that you are not mature enough to make responsible decisions (running away) and almost getting arrested and self harming 3. you obviously know nothing about emancipation. you CANT live with your bf and his parents the point of emancipation is that you are SELF supporting, this doesnt give you the ok to mooch off of other people just because you dont like your parents. you have to have your own income you have to live in an environment where you are paying rent, utilities and other expenses you have to prove that you can provide for yourself without assistance from government, friends or family. walking dogs and babysitting is NOT going to even cover your food expenses.... let alone rent, insurance, clothing, etc.

Look up the laws for your state. Some are 15, 16...etc...you have to petition in court to be emancipated. You have to prove that you can support yourself or will be supported by another adult. It's kind of not worth going through the process. Just deal with life. I was like you at your age too. Few more years won't kill you.

1. call the authorities. if you are being abused or neglected, they can remove you from the house and you will go into the foster care system.
2. if you want to be out, how will you live, where will you live, how will you support yourself, eat, go to school, etc. develop a good plan if you want a judge to approve it.
3. suggest to your parents joint counseling.
4. talk to a school counselor.
5. If you are locked in the house and cannot get out, even to the yard, that is a serious problem. report it to the child abuse DHS authorities in your area. sometimes calling 211 will work
6. be prepared for the consequenses of your actions. since you may not be fully independent, you may drop into the 'system' which might not be better than your current situation.
7. talk to your parents. mostly listen to them. study active listening to find out from them what's going on.

you are too young. Most states, you have to be 16, and self sufficient - meaning you have a job and a place to live.
go to school and talk to your counselors. They are there to help you.
fnd a teen crisis number in your area and call it.
If you are being physically or mentally abused, call the police. Call Family Services - you can find their number in the phone book. Look under the "State" numbers.
Do you have an aunt/uncle you can call? What about your grandparents?

Just calm down. Half the 14 year old girls in this country think their family is keeping them in prison. You'll get over it.

you just try to search your state's website. personally i think you are too young, may be you are ready but these are the only years you can relax and enjoy yourself without any headechs of money, bills and other people. It gets much harder once you are older

I really think you're just being immature and whining about something you've taken completely out of proportion. How about instead of talking to us about it, you talk to your parents. If you're going to move out, you should probably at least know why.

my friends cousin did that. i'm not sure how she said it was done...it was a really long story. i think you have to take it to court, and have a really legite reason. but because your young and in school u probably won't win or you'll wind up in foster care or something. They usualy allow kids who can finacially support them and have somewhere to go.

I would definitely talk to a guidance couselor when school starts and if you are home schooled then you should contact the DCFS.
