Without your cooperation in the matter, it isa almost certain NOT to happen. Generally a minor has to be responsible, show that they can care for themselves without anyone's help (no welfare or aid from friends), and have cooperation from the family. Unless the child has good cause to be emancipated (like he's being beaten daily) no judge is likely to grant this as long as you oppose it.

And you might consider a restraining order against the adult girlfreind if not criminal charges. She has no right to be leading your son down this path, and you have every right to prevent their being together.
