At 16, you really on the most part get to just cope.
Trust me. You might as well. You'll appreciate your parents a lot more when you move out but in the meantime you get to go through what we all go through, which is known as "adolescence". It's that time where you want to be treated like an adult and seems like the last thing people are treating you like. When you're paying your own rent and bills and scraping out a living for yourself, you wish you didn't spend so much time being pissed off at little inane things. It's true. |

my sister is the same age as you and my parents treat her like she's 10, and this seems like a typical situation she gets into, so i think the only way parents will treat you fairly is if you age a couple years and become an adult or something.. but look on the bright side of things, at least you get free room & board until your old enough to move out on your own. What i would suggest is just save up and buy your own computer, and whatever else you need. thats what i ended up doing when i was about your age, i had everything i could ever need in my room even my own mini-fridge.

Although I do have quite a few years on you now, I moved out when I was 17...I was ready to move out when I was 15 though, I just needed to find a roommate and a place to live...If things are really that bad, moving out is the best thing to do...

Moving out sounds like a super 'solve it all' idea - but while you are still in highschool I oersonally feel unless it's an abusive relationship then yu are likely better sticking it out at home and just trying to avoid conflict.
If you are grown up enough to consider leaving, then you are grown up enough to realize that computers and t.vs and MP3 players are not necesities, they are toys and a billion other kids your age won't ever have access to them - so just cause you can't use it the moment you want to ...it's not really that sad and in our society we have a billion other distractions to amuse you --- You certainly don't get the choice of who your parents are - and whether you realize it or not, it's really normal for a 16 yr old to be in constant conflict with their parents -- If you are honest with yourself, truly honest - do you think your parents love you? Do you think maybe they just don't know how to communicate or act with a 16 yr old - Or do you think they are honestly trying to treat you poorly?? I say - ride it out, write the feelings down and do your best to be 'adult' avoid conflict and hopefully - things will work out in the longer haul there's nothing like moving out when you really didn't have to -- it's real hard to find a place when you are young, and it can be really hard to finish highschool when you are trying to afford a place and food -- so if possible . Avoid it :) |

If you can handle living with your parents during the highschool years I highly recommend that you stay at home. But my relationship w/ my mom back when I was living w/ her just wasn't good and I had to move out, for our self well being. I wish that I had the oppertunity to milk it to the limits as much as i could have but my mom was a single mother....so it was just me and her. I had no escape, no brothers or sisters and it was horrible. But if you can handle it..then by all means stick it.
Im just very independent and don't like being told what to do. |
