Hey there, sorry to hear things difficult enough that you're considering leaving home.
I'm not sure if you've looked this up already but the age of majority in the US state of Georgia is eighteen. This is the age when you are no longer considered a minor and can leave home at free will. I know you're close to becoming of age but have you ever considered emancipation? The process might take longer than six months and the situation seems urgent enough that you're not able to wait that long.
For official documents look online to see where you can get these. A search on Google says that you go to the Department of Health's vital records office in Atlanta to get your birth certificate. For your SSN# you'll need to contact the Social Security Administration. For the learner's permit, I would go to your local RMV and apply again for testing but you'll need to be driving with someone over a certain age like 21 or 25.
I hope you're able to get some place safe soon! Maybe someone else will come along with more suggestions.
