Who should claim the tuition expenses for a 17-year-old who is filing Single and being claimed as a dependent on the parents' tax return?

If your parents are claiming you as a dependent, then they're the only ones who can claim a deduction for tuition expenses. If they don't claim that deduction, then neither you nor anyone else can claim it because of your status as a dependent claimed on someone else's return.There are two options for deducting tuition expenses, and the person claiming the deduction should choose the one that gives the lower tax. One, Form 8917 (Tuition and Fees Deduction) is attached to your tax return (1040 or 1040A). The deduction on line 6 of Form 8917 is then entered on line 19 of the Adjusted Gross Income Section of 1040/1040A. Two, Form 8863 (Education Credits Hope and Lifetime Learning Credits) is attached to your return. The deduction is then entered on line 31 of 1040A or line 49 of 1040.

Why could a 17 yr old be considered an adult but be charged with a juvenile crime such as runaway?

The reason why a 17 year old can be considered an adult is because they are past the legal age of consent. That means that they can work, and if possible they can sign binding contracts depending on the state in which the 17 year old resides. However, if the 17 year old is still a dependent- parents or legal guardian- or if someone can still claim the 17 year old as a dependent, then the 17 year old can be charged with anything from being a runaway to juvenile delinquency. I say this because this is how Alabama state law operates for certain. Even though the 17 year old can legally drop out of high school, the 17 year old has to be emancipated to truly be considered an adult in America because it gives you the same legal independence as a 21 year old adult, this includes educational matters as well. Even an 18 year old college student has to show their parents taxes to complete the FAFSA and enroll in school, unless emancipated by the state in which they reside for the longest period of time, or atleast reside in closest to the period in question.
