I'm 16, i live with my grandparents. But i stay at my girlfreind's house most of the time. Her mom doesn't midn. because she likes me and i help out with things..I come over and spend the daytime at my (grandparents) house and sleep and spend nights at my girlfreind's house...I only come over to my (grandparents) house because they complain if i dont... but whenever i do they cant wait to get me out of the house, and complain because i'm here, i make noise... i eat...i use the computer...my grandpa wants to move just to get away from me :( but i guess, he's never liked me anyway... what do i do, do i just stop comming here, or just leave everyone alone? am i really that much of a drain on everyone? :(

P.S. i cant go live with my mom or dad either, my mom left me with my dad when i was 2, and my dad left me with my grabdparents, so they could babysit me for one night and never came back..... i guess i've always been this annoying...

I'm so sorry that you don't have a place to really call home. I think they probably miss you & worry about you. When you get home, you're so high energy compared to their GP low energy, it can be tiring.
It doesn't mean that they don't love you, it just means that they're tired.
You say that your GF's parents like it because you do stuff around the house. Do you offer to do that for your GP's?
Kids (we've all been there) have a sense of entitlement from their primary caregivers that can be irritating after a certain age. (When I moved out, I took the silverware because I thought it should be mine. Hey, I'd always used it, right?) It's something you don't see untill you grow out of it.
Try to evaluate how you treat GP's vs. GF's mom. How is it different?
Is there something you could be doing at home to show your appreciation more?
Hang in there. I know what it's like to feel so unwelcome at home. I wish I had advice that would make it all better, but I don't.
Prepare for college. It's you're best bet out of there in only 2 years. You can hang on untill then. I promise.

No! When we were 16 we were all draining!
Your Grandparents are your greatest resource for knowing most people find it harder to live in a house together with a 16 year-old, that doesn't mean they don't want you to come over.
Try to talk to your Gparents.
You would be surprised at what you can learn!
Most of all give your Gparents a break because the older you get the more draining your going to be and feelings of getting away will only get stronger!

You can't just live with your girlfreind! Do you sleep with her? Eww if you do b/c you are only 16. What does your grandmother say about you? Does she like you?
Well, I don't really know what to tell you. You are kinda stuck. GOOD LUCK:)

How old are you? Can you get a job and your own place?
