I've been thinking about this for months, and I love my family but I hate them. I love each one as a person,but we are not happy together at all. Its like the whole vibe of this house is hateful, stressful and sooooo much more. I can not live with htem, its tearing me apart. I cry every single day about this, I try to do stuff for my parents, work around the house and things like that. But I feel like they don't appreciate me, I think I'm becoming depressed just from my family and I don't want to fall into suicidal thinking. Is there any way that I can legally move in with my aunt or another family member? If she will take me in that is. My parents are not abusive in any way, there is no alchohol or drugs in my home, but its still and extremely unhappy place to be. What can I do? I try to do things to keep my family happy but they are always unhappy which makes me unhappy. I can't handle it, its just to much.

You can do three things
1) Stick it out till your 18 knowing it is not very long and try to make the situation better
2) get counseling and if it doesnt get better, you can ask family services to help you. You may have to go through the courts
3) or you can become an inmancipated adult (set free) and try living on your own which is hard. You have to go through the courts on this too. My sister did.

I think every 15 year old has a love hate relationship with their family. If there is no abuse count yourself lucky and stay at home. if you have emotional probs talk to parents about counseling etc. but your parents will always be there and your aunt well she is probably not going too be as fun after a while its just the thought of something new. Ask if you can stay for vacation or every other weekend to get a break but don't leave. Your parents will feel really bad and eventually you will too.

I was in a similar situation in high school, and managed to move in with my grandparents.
One thing that helped in my case was I could go to a better school if I lived with them, so I had an excuse to tell my parents besides saying, "you guys drive me nuts." Parents are people too, and if this seems like a rejection, they will be less likely to go along with it.
As a teenager, you need to have room to work out your own craziness, and you can't do that if you aren't in a safe place with stable adults who are less crazy than you.
If you can't find a way out, tell your family you want to go to family counseling because you have issues you want their help with (you don't have to say THEY are the issue).
If you are having suicidal thoughts, you should get counseling in any case. It can make a gigantic difference. I've had a couple of friends who were suicidal and through counseling and/or medication, they went on to lead very happy, successful lives.
Hang in there. Life will eventually get better.

maybe you could, first of all, ask your parents if they will listen to you.
tell them how you FEEL... sad, unhappy, alone, unappreciated, uncomfortable, and that you are crying over it. ask them what they think you could do to help improve your home life?
perhaps this will get them thinking.... ? it is worth a try.
meanwhile, you probably need to talk with your aunt about the situation.... maybe she can help you with a place to live, or even help you with your parents? if you respect and trust her, it might be a good thing to let her know how you are feeling, too.
your emotional health is important, and you deserve to have some happiness and comfort in your life.
i hope things work out.

legally you can , but that is sometimes not the best way out. talk to your parents let them know whats bothering you and how you feel!!! it will help you better understand the situation especially your for you parents, and it may help you and your children when they feel like it cause you've had some expierence

Try asking your parents if you can move in with your aunt. Talk to your aunt first. She might be able to plead your case more effectively.

well it is your choice take your time and think about it and If you still do I think you should ask your aunt just in case she does not want you to then tell your parents and if they say no then tell them it is not their choice
