At 16 there is little that can be done to keep you in your parents home. Where are you living at this time? Unless you are living in a safe environment you should reconsider going back to your parents. They may be willing to listen to your complaints and change their interaction with you. The alternatives are 1. a group home, and 2 obtaining employment to support yourself. That is renting an apartment and paying your basic living expenses. You should not give up on your education. Working to support yourself and going to school will be a challenge. You will have long days ahead with little time for recreation. Weigh these options carefully before you make a decision.
