I'm 15, and I just cannot live at home anymore and I am just out of options. Whatever answers you can give me would help. Thank you.

You would have to establish a legal residence in GA first. I'm so not feeling your parents buying into that.
2 :
No. You live in SC,that is the state you have to petition in. Do you have a full time job with enough income to support yourself completely on your own? If the answer is no,you have zero chance at emancipation in any state.
3 :
You would have to file in South Carolina.Also you would have to show legitamite proof of why you want to be emancipated, proof of a current job that the income is suffiecient enough to support yourself, and a place to live.

Yes. GA does not require that you accept health insurance to maintain your medicaid eligibility.

If you are speaking of the Appalachian Trail..about a hour outside Blairsville near the NC border is the starting point....if you are a experienced hiker and fit. If not. I would suggest you get a weight vest and try walking around and up Stone Mountain. It will build up your endurance and get you a bit used to nature.

If you're in good shape then start with getting the equipment. www.backpacker.com has good reviews on equipment to help you narrow your choices, and then spend a lot of time in your local outfitter stores trying on packs and boots. Hopefully the outfitters will no of some groups to talk with about equipment and locales and maybe even places to rent equipment so you can get a feel for them before purchasing. Some outfitters have a day a week for customers to come in and listen to 'experts' talk about gear and then let you set up and tear down the gear - very valuable info/experience to be had. Once you've chosen a pack load it with 35-40 lbs and walk around with, have the clerk help you adjust it to your frame/size. Make sure it's comfortable and fits you with the weight - very important. When you've bought your pack now load it with half your gear and start walking around - this will tell you how good of shape you are really in - slowly add weight/gear to the pack until fully loaded while lengthening the distance you walk until you can do 10-12 miles in your pack without difficulty. I know this sounds tedious and boring but so many people jump into camping without proper prep and they hate their first experience so much they don't go back. Good luck, and have fun!

Just keep them well watered and bring them in when it starts to get cold. They will live a long time if you don't let them freeze.

I have Boston ferns on my porch, and they are pretty easy. I need to water them twice a week with the drought. I also use Jobe's fertilizing sticks. I haven't had good luck with Asparagus ferns indoors (not enough humidity, I think, and I didn't spray them frequently enough), but they may do well outside.
3 :
I have both Boston and Asparagus ferns that have lasted years! They LOVE humidity so keep them misted. If they are in hanging baskets, they will need more water than if they are in a container. If you decide to buy them, make sure you replant them when you get them home. Use a pot one size larger than what they came in. Water with a mixture of a good plant food, such as Miracle Gro, and epsoms salts once every 2 weeks. Bring them in the house before the first frost, and keep in the bathroom, if possible.
4 :
Ferns grow wild in my yard in Florida. I have killed many of them in the house here because I have overwatered them. Follow the instructions about repotting when you get home and misting them and don't let them freeze. They will also come back if they do start to die if you ignore them and stop overwatering and cut off the dead stuff, but don't over care for them. They are low maintenance, and I always over maintained. The ones in my yard live on the natural humidity and rainfall and when we water the yard they get water.

Find Georgia's Golf Association or Amateur Golf Association website (they may be the same). They should have all the info on tournaments and requirements, both pro and amateur
