You would need to talk with your case worker about being emancipated. The age in which you can do this varies by state (here is 17). I would recommend considering staying in the system though because you can get assistance with things like housing, school and medical bills.

The first thing they do when a minor is in that situation is to put her in a foster home. To be emancipated you will have to be able to support yourself and pay for a home etc. Very few 16yo can do that. That is up to the judge.
