Kentucky does not have an emancipation statute (not all states do), so there is no legal process already in place through which a minor can petition the court for emancipation.
If you have parental permission to move out (and you’re moving to a safe and appropriate environment) then you have leave. Otherwise, you have to stick it out until you’re 18 (the age of majority at which you are a legal adult and no longer subject to your parents control and supervision).

No, life is harder out on your own and you will have to do things you don't want to do to survive. You are at a difficult stage in life and it is better to learn hard lessons now, to save heart ache later. Learn to submit and break your will, then you won't have problems later with authority on the job or with the police, etc. It only seems like she doesn't love you, but later you will see how much she really does. It hurts her to tell you things you don't want to hear and she knows you might not listen, but yet she tells you hoping you will turn out to be the good young woman that she believes you can be. That is why she is doing these things, because she has been the same route before you and she knows what mistakes she has made and wants to save you the heartache. She really does love you and is so much craving a relationship with you. Probably just around any corner she will realize you are nearly grown up and making wise decisions. She wants so much for you to ask her advice, but she knows you are a teen and hate to take advice. Get close to her, tell her how you feel, your fears and trust her. She can be your best friend for the rest of your life if you don't turn her away. You just can't understand how much she desires to have you not only be her daughter, but her friend also. Please pour out your heart to her. It will surprise her at first, but after a couple of times, you will see that she is believing in you and treating you more grown up, k? Let me know what happens, k? I am saying a prayer for you tonight.

I am assuming you have a single parent household ? I was a single parent professional and it still can get ugly. I think you need to take care of this, have you talked to the school counselors or better yet some youth minster at some church, they are very skilled at this and will be glad to help you whether you attend there or not. Find a friend that attends youth group and ask that friend to connect you. I still call my grown kids' youth leader if I find a teen who needs help and then I do what he tells me to do, the youth leader is so so experienced with issues like yours

Hey, try this first.
"You know what, Mom ? Maybe I don;t want to feel bad about myself. Did you ever stop to think that I don't want to feel bad?"
This has a benefit of not disagreeing with what she said. You will have shifted the topic to her unchairitable delivery of criticism and MAYBE she'll want to be helpful or silent or something other than hurtful. Of course you should leave her alone to digest your response instead of telling her that she's always putting your down or too critical becase you surely don't want to belabor a point which need only be said once and said calmly.

You only have a year to go before you can legally make your own choices.. Its not that long.. as far as her always putting you down.. I would get used to it, sounds to me like all she is doing is preparing you for the real world..
You need to get a clue, Life is not easy.. The stuff you see in movies and on TV or read in book are not real... You should be grateful your mom isn't as easy going on you that you wish she was.. When your on your own you will be better prepared for what the world will throw at you...

Look, I know it sucks but if you move out on your own now, odds are great that you will be working minimum wage jobs the rest of your life.
Use your anger and resentment toward her as fuel to finish high school and get into college. Try to get even with making your life the best it could possible be and then leave.

Not unless u get amancipated and that will take more work than its worth if ur 17. just wait till 18 and then move out but if u really cant stand her to get amancipated you need to prove you are stable and financial good to go.

I moved out when I was 17 but I had help from my parents. I was leaving for college. So I know that it is possible to do it...but since your not 18 it will be much harder for you to leave home if your parents are against it.

If you're still in high school, no. Wait until you're 20, then move out of house and state.
