What are the requirements to become emancipated?

Full question:

I just turned 17 and I live in Marion Indiana, and my mom and I argue all the time. My dad has nothing to do with me unless I am in trouble, and my mom is always wanting to kick me out of the house. When she says that she is kicking me out she turns around and says if I don't return home she will report me as a runaway. Is there anyway that I could be emancipated? I have a job and I also have talked to a family friend that says she is willing to take me in untill I can get up on my feet. I would have to help her pay bills and buy food for the home. I have no problem in doing these tasks either.

When your parents are arguing, it can be helpful to stay calm and avoid taking sides. If it’s safe, you can try to communicate with them about how their arguments affect you. If the situation escalates or becomes uncomfortable, consider leaving the room or finding a quiet space. You might also talk to a trusted adult or counselor for support and guidance.
