You can APPLY for anything you wish -- if you are denied, the denial will probably tell you the grounds and what you need to do about it. As a minor, if unemancipated, you have a right to support from your parents -- presumably there is some reason you are not getting it. Consider requesting access to whatever legal assistance is available through your school; if none, consider attending one of the Thursday afternoon Ask-A-Lawyer sessions at family court (they are free) to try to get some guidance.
