As far as I know a 17 year old actually has to go to court to become emancipated. ANd how many 17 yr olds do you know that has that kind of money. I do agree however that there are no services for 17 yrs old and Changing Course Foundation would like to change that. We have develpoed a program and are beginning to look for funding to start a home for 17 yr olds that have no place to go. We will offer, job services, education if needed and a home for these you until they reach 18 or have secured a good place to live their education and a job that can support them. If you would like to help go to www.changingcoursefdn.com for more information or to make a tax deductible donation to this non-profit look on GuideStar.org (to see that we are legitimate and mail donations to P O Box 1646 Cedaur Hill, TX. 75106 or go the the website and email us for more information.

Legally, a 17-year-old is still considered a minor. However, if a 17-year-old has no place to live except on their own, they may be considered emancipated or a "self-sufficient minor" in some jurisdictions. This status grants them certain rights typically reserved for adults. It's advisable to consult with a legal professional for guidance on the specific laws and options available in the relevant jurisdiction.
