Generally I prefer that people be 18 or older before they start AM because AM will make one of two things happen for most people who are not living on their own. Either it will cause all sorts of fights and issues with parents or guardians as you become what you are becoming... or it will make you miserable and depressed if you refuse to face your fears and the people who are preventing you from being who you are and achieving your full potential.
Also, don't expect AM 5 will "sort you emotionally" in one run through. Most of us, me included, have needed more than once. I've run every version that has come out plus one that was never released, and the results have been awesome, but it takes time. Much less time, to be sure, but time. 2-3 run throughs is usual, and you'll keep improving with each one you do even after that.
So you may want to wait until you're not living with parents, because the journey can be hard on them, just as it can be hard on you. Things are expected to be chaotic, confusing and changing in college as you and everyone around you are all in the same boat, growing and changing fast. I can understand how you would want to gain some strength first, but again... consider the consequences while you are under someone else's thumb legally. 18 is the recommended minimum age for starting AM for that reason.
Presuming things are like this over the pond...
