Hmmm ..... I wonder if I get a prize or anything when I hit 10,000.
I don't know and probably won't. I can't see myself getting 10k posts... or at least not in the near future. You might want to ask Huckleberry who has over 21,000 posts.
Okay my brother is 17 years old he has a girlfriend who is about 5 months pregnant. He would like to get emancipated, but the thought never went though his head until my dad told him to do it. His girlfriend lives with her mom right now but they would not mind my bother living there too until they get their own place. He has a job and once he is done with school he will be getting another job or a better job. They are mental and verbal abusing him. I went though the same thing and i dont want him to go through the same thing. Can someone tell me how I can help me. He really wants to be apart of his baby's life and hates to drama. Our family does not like his girl friend so they treat her like **** and trys to keep them away from each other. Well hopefully someone can help me and him figure something out soon.
If your family are treating the girl like crap, your family is doing more harm than good and adding stress to an already stressful situation. They need to back off and act like responsible adults.
would he be better off getting emancipated. our sister treats him like **** too and talks about of **** about his girl. she is very sweet she says the night at my place some times and helps me out a lot with my kids and stuff. She is tried of my brother hurting because of my family. he wants to be there but how can he be there when this stuff is going on. my brother is 17 he has made mistakes in his life but he never hurt anybody he is very mature and he is ready to take care of his baby and his girl.

You have already received a TON of mature advice directed solely at you and your posts alone. I know it's annoying when people just start bickering amongst themselves - but I know you've still received a lot of advice directed just to you from people who have many more years of maturity and experience than you do.

I'm glad to hear you're making some wise decisions about your future in terms of waiting until nearly 21 to marry, not risking pregnancy by staying abstinent, aiming to become a fire fighter, etc. But if you plan on living with your girlfriend's family and having her mother even partially support you, I'm fairly sure the courts would not emancipate you. Of course I'm no expert but I'm fairly certain you must prove yourself to be FULLY self sufficient in order to be emancipated. Living with your girlfriends mother and paying a minimal rent not comparable to the market (ie, the $300 you mentioned in the first post) or not buying your own food, etc, is not being fully self sufficient. There is too much risk that if they emancipate you and something goes wrong with you and your girlfriend or her mother, you'll be left to survive on your own - so you absolutely must be fully self sufficient.
I also have to question the $700 a week... I'm not saying you're lying but in your first post, you said you'd be making minimum wage at $6.50 an hour. I don't want to believe you're lying but I find it hard to believe you went from $6.50 an hour to $700 a week in one month. I'm also not sure how much this computer school you're attending costs so I don't know how much you have going out - you may still benefit from a foster family helping to finanially support you.
Again, I don't know how the system works exactly but I'm pretty sure that your girlfriend's mother can apply to be your foster parent. Maybe I should have mentioned this before when I suggested going into foster care. If her mother is serious about taking you into her home, she should be able to become your legal guardian. If you're going to be living with her anyway, I think it might be wise to have her become your guardian - you might as well, I imagine it would probably be easier, faster and more successful. Gaining emancipation is rare - going into a foster home that already wants you and is where you'd want to be...well, that's one less kid social services has to place in a random foster home, they'd probably jump at the chance.
We gave ya a ton of advice. Most of the posters have kids and were giving you some very helpful information on what teens should know. Some of us have even been down that road. I think the first 2 pages were devoted to your post but then got a little off-topic but without your responses that is what it came to.
I like your plan. Sounds good but not ideal. But hey! If it works for you, go for it. Although I don't think emancipation is the answer. Maybe you can work something out with your parents and your fiance's parents with some sort of arrangement without emancipating.
hi i'm 16 i live in lv, nv i am engaged, my fiance's family is going to get a divorce and there mom wants me to go. Ill be a roomate and pay my part to stay im going to job fairs to get a job it'll probably be minimum wage 6.50 a hour. But she only wants me to pay 300 a month and i want to go so i could stay with my fiance. My parents dont want me to leave cause they like being my boss. They have let me move out once but to my dads, and i didnt want to cause he dont want me so i came back after so many months. So if i go in and show them 2 checks, and a letter from my roomate stating how much i got to pay and i welcome there. And that its summer now but when school starts im going to do insite a online school. Were thay send you a laptop and all the stuff its a free public school so i could work full-time. And for a reason if needed to stay with my fiance and to start my life now. So can anyone help me, or let me know what you think cause i really want to get emancipated and start my life with my fiance. I'm ready to start my life and will keep trying to get emancipated till i do.
well i have seen this happen so many times and they divorce so quick the ink has not dried on the marriage liscence,or they have a baby and no time for play time stay young and with yiur mother,
