Without knowing any details...the state will not remove custodial rights from a parent/place a child in foster care just because the child is 'unhappy'. Discuss the situation in detail with your school counselor for advice.

Yes, you can be placed in foster care at the age of 16 if your parents kick you out. Social services give you the choice to live with your mum or dad (if that option is available), live in a group home or hostel or live with someone who gives you permission to do so.

TO be emancipated you need to be able to act and function as an adult. You need income, insurance, housing, etc. and it is most unlikely that any 13 year old could. It is much more likely that a 13 year old wishing to leave home would be made a ward of the court and placed in foster care.
