My nearest friends are all going off to military. And my girl friend lives in Missouri. I have family down there too. I see this as a way to get me away and get me closer to her so I can actually spend more time with her. Along with me finishing school and being more myself than I am here.
Well in a few months there will be nothing stopping you from moving.

...and THERE it is folks.
I wanted leave any way and in the time I've been with her ive found out all my friends are leaving. So is it so bad that I would want to move near her. No no its not. When you have a significant other they are your best friend. Of all my friends she is the only one staying in a definite place. This is more about me less her. I'm wanting to escape and my parents say go ahead they are letting me for once in my life do something for me. Finally I could leave. Also doesnt emancipation transfer from state to state even if its some screwed up method on it. Since Minnesota as I've seen repeatedly on many sources allows it by concent.

You keep saying it but not explaining it. I may be behind in school but even a middle schoI'm student understands you can't say something in such a manner and not explain it.

In the OP's state, there is no court process for emancipation. The minor can be considered emancipated based solely on parental consent, so there really is nothing to qualify for if the parents consent. However, in this case, the OP wants to move to another state that will NOT recognize the "emancipation".

My earlier posts were a bit misleading. A minor may, in fact, be declared to be an emancipated minor by the courts in MN, however, as I said above there is no defined process for doing so. Each case is taken on a case-by-case basis. My statement that MO won't recognize an out-of-state emancipation that is done solely by parental consent is correct, and even an emancipation through the courts would have to be domesticated in the new state, which will take longer (and cost a bunch more money) than if the OP simply waits until he's 18.

What does OP mean I haven't seen that in my research. Does parental consent work in Missouri? If so would they accept something like a notarized agreement as proof of it?

OP = Original Poster. That's you.

NO. Missouri will NOT recognize an emancipation that is solely by parental consent. That's what we've been trying to tell you for two pages now.

Look, the bottom line is that the fastest route for you to be declared emancipated is to wait until you turn 18. There is no other process available that will be any faster.

It was only said once directly. All others were unclear or continuing to suggest alts.

That's too far. That means more of dealing with this.

Then you're just going to have to deal with it. The law is not going to roll over and play dead for you just because the correct legal answer is not one you want to hear.
