Another option is for your friends parents to become your legal guardians. This gives them the ability to seek medical aide & make decision regarding your schooling, etc., without permanently severing your connection with your parents. Check the information below:

At the age of 16, you may be able to become an emancipated minor. Check the link below for information about emancipation of a minor in your state.

Before taking such a drastic & permanent step, I hope you & your family can find some help/counseling. Even if you decide to stay with your friends family for a while, or longer. Just to help you all heal from whatever is providing the motivation to seek an alternate living arrangement.

Hope things work out for you....
Take care, my friend

The friend's family would have to hire an attorney who could then do the process legally.

You would have to go through an attorney. The family adopting you would have to have a home study and background check done by a licensed social worker. Consent for adoption forms would be filed with the courthouse, you would go before the judge, then another part of the home study done, and after a waiting period of about 6 months, depending on where you live, another court hearing. Or, your friend's parents can easily get guardianship by them and your parents going to the courthouse together. It isn't a permanent things, and might have to be renewed occaisionally, however, it makes it where they can enroll you in school, insurance, and your first parent's rights aren't totally gone forever.
I do suggest getting a third party in your home situation, such as a counselor, who might direct your communications and needs better, and maybe heal the disfunctions in your life. Good luck!
