What US state?

Please note that, in and of itself, and very generally, "emotional abuse" would rarely be a reason for emancipation to be granted here in the US.

The applicable state law matters here, and you did not mention the state. But as a general matter, emancipation is not a process for teens who are abused to get away from their parents/guardians. There are other procedures for dealing with abuse. Emancipation is a process to free teens who are already living apart from their parents and are self-supporting to be freed from certain legal barriers that apply to minors, like the inability to make binding contracts, etc.

I understand about it being not being a valid reason for itself, but I guess I'm just asking in a general manner, what would be considered emotional abuse, also, its Alabama.

If you feel that you are being abused, then please speak with an adult, such as a teacher, school counselor, therapist, or the police. They are all required to report your suspected abuse to your state's version of Child Protective Services.

In your state, your parent or guardian would have to file for emancipation on your behalf once you are at least 18.

Although I'll note that the definition in that section only applies to protected persons, who are persons over age 18 (i.e. an adult) who are unable care for themselves.

In your state, your parent or guardian would have to file for emancipation on your behalf once you are at least 18.

And for those wondering why an 18 year-old would ever need emancipation, the age of majority in Alabama is 19.

Although I'll note that the definition in that section only applies to protected persons, who are persons over age 18 and are also unable care for themselves.

So noted. There could be a better definition of emotional abuse offered by Alabama somewhere.

I will reiterate what was said above; teens are not emancipated on the basis of emotional abuse, no matter what the state and no matter what the situation. That is not and never was the purpose of the emancipation laws. Validated emotional abuse "might" get you put into foster care or a group home, but it will not get you emancipated.
