The age of 18 is considered to be the Age of Majority in all states with the exception of Alabama(19), Mississippi(21), Nebraska(19), Wyoming(19), and the District of Columbia(21). The Age of Majority is a legal term meaning that age at which an individual has all the rights and responsibilities of an adult. If you are not living in one of these states, you are an adult. If you are living in one of these states, you can always request to be emancipated. However, even if you have achieved the Age of Majority, if you are not supporting yourself, you are dependent on those who are and should conduct yourself accordingly. Good luck.
....yes
To be emancipated at 16, you typically need to show that you are financially independent, mature enough to make legal decisions, and that emancipation is in your best interest. You would need to petition the court in your state and provide evidence supporting your request for emancipation, such as proof of income and a stable living situation. Each state has its own specific requirements for emancipation.
They are the same for any other sixteen year old. Most states will allow sixteen year olds to request emancipation.
Emancipation laws vary by state, but the aunt would probably have a better chance of being awarded custody/guardianship (and then she could also request that the parents be ordered to pay child support), then you would have of being emancipated. Emancipation generally requires that the minor is capable of supporting themselves, and since you

As the Age of Majority there is 21, you will need to request an order of emancipation.
true
You have to petition the court for emancipation. The requirements vary from state to state, and some states don't allow emancipation. See the laws for the specific state as to what the petition requires.
Out-of-court settlement is the easiest option if it is possible; your parents may consent, which would take care of it. If they don't, then you can ask a judge to emancipate you; ideally, you would obtain the help of a lawyer in presenting this application, although I don't know if you can afford such a thing, just as I don't know your reasons for seeking emancipation. If you can show that your parents are abusing you in some legally significant manner (if they are endangering your health or stealing your money, for example) the courts should be sympathetic to your request. If it's just a matter of some dispute, over how late you can stay out, and so forth, the courts will be less sympathetic.
Only if you go before a judge and request emancipation.
A financial request letter should include a clear explanation of the reason for the request, the specific amount needed, a detailed breakdown of how the funds will be used, and any supporting documents or evidence to strengthen the request.
