If you're having issues at home [real ones, not something like "my mom made me clean my room], or you're independent & can rely on no one but yourself, you can be emancipated & do your own thing. It's like a divorce from your parents.
When you're emancipated however, you need to have a place to live, a way to get to work/school, etc. You can't go to your parents for things anymore, and they can't tell you what to do. You can also get married. And that's about as much as I know. Click SEARCH & find out more about it. =]
