If you have all that then you have to be able to show that you have picked out a residency and you will be able to care for yourelf on your own. But its not all that easy, both parents have to sign for this to happen. =(
-- okay sorry but i checked into it and u have to be 16. unless its different for states, but uhm u cant even get a real job untill your 16. theres child labor laws that prevent getting jobs at 14. [ VainTaraLynn's advice column | Ask VainTaraLynn A Question ]
