Wow.....Well it's good that you go to school and work. It seems to me like your home life is affecting your ability to do well in school though. It's probably hard to find quiet time to study and if you are having trouble sleeping at night then that would also affect your school and work. You seem like a responsible kid so maybe it would be better to get your own place with your friends. (Normally I wouldn't suggest that but because of your circumstances it seems like a good idea) Please make sure you remain in school though!! Do you have a special teacher or maybe relative that you could talk to about your situation and maybe ask for advice? Maybe you could even move in with a relative for a few years until you finish school. I would look into those options first before making a final decision to move out okay. Good Luck sweetie!!

If you are under the age of eighteen you have to listen to your parents, but if you are eighteen or older, then you need to get out of there. All those people in a small trailer is not good for anyone. You just need to take the step and do it. Tell them you are leaving, and tell them it is not up for discussion. They can either give you their blessings, or you will leave without them, but you do not want to sleep on the couch anymore and you do not want to come home to such a stressfull home anymore.

first i wanna say that i am sorry you have to put up with so much.
if your parents arnt gonna let you leave, then your best bet would be to stay their or to try and take your parents to court and be legally put out of their care(i cant think of the word, extradited?) If you get an apartment with your friends, even if you mean good, they can all get sent to jail for harboring a runaway since your still a minor.
If you leave without their permission, you will also be charged with runaway since your still a minor.
so goodluck, and just remember god never places a burden bigger than you can bear
