I know you don't want to hear this, but the truth is emancipation is probably not an option for you.
Emancipation is a legal tool for young people who need to *protected* from the legal decisions of their parents. Typically, because their parents are refusing them medical treatment, or are using their name for unethical finical dealings, or their parents are criminals and involving the young person is criminal acts, or are being abused in some way.
Emancipation may seem like a good idea, but it's actually a very difficult process. To be emancipated, you have to prove to the court you can rent and love someplace else and are capable of supporting yourself (including food, health insurance, all those things), and are able to provide a reason to the court that you would be better off out of your parents home. "My mom's too strict" isn't going to be a good enough reason. Your home life will need to be found to be abusive. There would have to be a reason to protect you, legally, from your mother.
So, emancipation isn't your solution.
If you don't want to live with your mom anymore, the better thing to do is look around for a place you may to go, and be welcomed. A family member, or a family friend can take you, with your mother's permission.
If you are being abused, call the cops. Talk to a teacher or a counselor at school for help. It's okay to ask for help, but help from another adult is what you need right now. Emancipation is a legal tool for going it entirely alone. You are probably not equipped to go it entirely alone. Look for support.

As someone who is old enough to be your great grandfather the wisdom I have gained over the years tells me there has to be more to this then what you have written here. since there are always two sides to every story we are only hearing your side and a very short version at that.
My advice is to talk with a trusted teacher or your school principal. Tell one of them the complete story. Answer any questions they have as completely and truthfully as you can. If they believe mom is being unjust with you or abusing you in any way. Mental abuse is the same as physical abuse they are bound by law to take certain steps to protect you.
