I've been coming up with ideas and ideas for businesses I can start, I've been doing the market and SEO research and everything that anyone does. My problem is I'm 17 and I cant establish credit or sign anything unless
A. I use my parents information
B. I'm emancipated

My father is all for it since hes been in business for 20 years, but my mom is more restrictive than anything. She wants me to basically sit and stare at a wall till I go to college, then I can get a nice comfy dead-end job.

I'm trying to start my own ecommerce businesses or SOMETHING that I can do at this age, but without establishing credit it's like everything is impossible.

What should I do? I understand I'm only 17 and can still have fun, but I dont want to be liek my friends who waste their time and dont do anything useful.
