Generally, no. The age of majority is 18. That's when the law considers you an adult and you can make all your own decisions. Until then you need your parents' permission. In some cases a minor can be legally emancipated before they are 18. You would want to contact a family lawyer in West Virginia to ask about this. State and local laws are all different.
