I'm looking forward to being emancipated. Emancipation is when you get to run your own life, own your own house, own your own car, basicly being 18. You can be emmacipated 3 diffrent ways. Way 1 is going into the army at 16 which you need parental concent to do. Way 2 is getting married to somone over 18 when you are 16 which also needs parental concent. Way 3 is if you have 1 parent that you can live with and that parent has report of abuse to children then you can apply for emmacipation and have a judge accept or deny it. My birthday is on tuesday and i will be 16 which means i qualify. I already have a good chance at it happening all i have to do is have the judge accept. YAY!
