license

[bellkid]

I'm 16, 17 years old on July 12th. I want to know if parents not allowing me to get my license is a good reason to get emancipated I am well educated as a junior in highschool I can take care of myself but the issue is that I need a job and my parent won't take me to the job and they won't let me get my license or permit I am very upset and sometimes I get the thought that they don't care as much as they used to. I feel like they are holding me back from making a career for myself

Short answer: No. You cannot get emancipated for that reason (and probably any other you might care to think up).

No, that is not a good reason to be able to get emancipated. You also have to be supporting yourself among other things.

When you turn 18, they will no longer be responsible for your driving errors and you can get one by yourself.

And just so OP knows:
A driving license is a PRIVILEGE, not a RIGHT.

Darling, not being allowed to get a license, or a job, is not even in the same HEMISPHERE as a valid reason to be emancipated, let alone the same ballpark.

Maybe your parents don't want you to get a license or a job currently so you can concentrate on your school work. (though their reason doesn't really matter - you can't get emancipated)
