The legal age of majority can be from 18-21 depending on the state. Only a few states allow a minor to file for early emancipation and such a petition would not be granted on a "Because I want to.." request.

That would only happen after a complete investigation by DSS and a court hearing, the final decision would be made by the presiding judge.

Who was the real founder of Nova Scotia?
It means "New Scotland" in Latin, and it was named by the Scots in 1621 as an answer to New England and New France. The responsibility for the name is either King James I/VI or Sir William Alexander. All this, despite the fact that the land was controlled by the Mi'kmaq and the French, who wanted nothing to do with the few Scottish settlers who showed up and promptly ran them out. When the British took over Acadia in 1713 they reverted to Nova Scotia.
The first premanent settlement in Nova Scotia was at Port Royal in 1605; Samuel de Champlain settled there with emmigrants from France and the entire colony almost perished during the harsh North American winter.
