Not being happy is not a reason for emancipation and since you live with them you don't fulfill the requirements. The law says:

Emancipation process in California?
Emancipation is a legal way for children to become adults before they're 18. Once a child is emancipated, his or her parents don't have custody or control of him or her anymore. There are 3 ways to get emancipated: # Get married. You need permission from your parents and the court. # Join the armed forces. You need permission from your parents, and the armed forces must accept you. # Get a declaration of emancipation from a judge. To get a declaration of emancipation, you have to prove ALL of these things: #* You are at least 14 years old. #* You don't want to live with your parents. Your parents don't mind if you move out. #* You can handle your own money. #* You have a legal way to make money. #* Emancipation would be good for you. Once one is emancipated, you retain all the legal rights of one who is a major, not 18. For instance, when the law stipulates that a legal major can do it (such as marriage, contracts, sex) you can, but when the law stipulates an age (such as cigarettes, drinking) you can't until you attain that age. Once you are emancipated you are legally divorcing, in a way, from your parents and no longer have any legal tie to them. They are not considered related to you in any way, it is as if they never existed in your life (legally).If you are emancipated, you can do things without your parent's permission, like: * Get medical care; * Work without a work permit or parental permission* Sign up for school or college; and * Live where you want to. If you are emancipated, you will give up the right to be supported by your parents. Note: If you have a legal guardian, all of the information in this section about "parents" applies to your legal guardian and your case, too. Usually, emancipation is forever. But the court can cancel your emancipation if you lie to the court or if you can't support yourself anymore, and parents can "sue" for the rights to you as a child (if they don't like that you emancipated).
