I am so frickin stressed!!!! I'm a high school senior taking all hard classes plus a college class, I haven't applied to ANY scholarships yet, and I'm sick all the time. My dad works about 4 hours away and is only home on weekends, and my mom works nights and sleeps during the day when she can, and I'm the only responsible one out of four kids, so I have to run errands, make dinner most nights, and try to keep the house clean. I have two older sisters, both 18 (one is kind of adopted), who drive me crazy!!! One is a selfish ***** who has absolutely no concept of compassion and doesn't care what anyone thinks about her, and the other one has no common sense, doesn't do her homework, and acts like a 14 year old. She is the most annoying person I 've ever known. My 14 year old brother is the 2nd most annoying person I've ever known. I have no real friends, the ones that I do have don't like to do anything with me. My bedroom is a disaster cuz i have no time to clean it. Help Me!!!!

Stop crying and get ready for your next move- moving out and going to college away from home.
Get yourself organized and prioritize your classes, studies and scholarship applications. Get those out of the way first and forget about the rest as much as you can.
Apply for schools far away from your home. If you get one, you will not be asked to live at home and take care of your siblings.
Life is a piece of crap at times when you are young, but hang in there. You are almost out on your own, and then life will show you what hard is.
Good luck and don't wig-out too much. That is why people hate high school and being teen agers. It does get better. Not easier, but it does certainly get better.

You're focusing on what you don't want in life. Read what you just said. Look at all the things you're telling us that you do not want. You're obviously very passionate about it.
When you focus on things with a lot of passion, it makes it happen even faster and stronger.
You have to take baby steps.
First, begin by being thankful for those things that you enjoy. When you feel angry or frustrated, stop and think of those things you enjoy. Even if just for a minute. Dwell your thoughts on what is good. Dwelling on the bad will never help. Dwelling on the good will help you divide your problems, and conquer them one by one.
When you do have a "problem", look at it as an opportunity to improve. See it as a sign that there is something wrong, and take the challenge to eliminate it.
As for dealing with people, remember this: You can only change "you" and not anyone else.
You will never change your parents or your siblings. Don't even try. It will only drive you crazy. Do what makes you happy. Do what makes you feel good inside. As for having to do chores, change your perception and see it as an opportunity to learn how to deal with difficult people. It's great because as a sister, you can't get fired. Yet it's a great skill to have once you're out in the workforce, and right now, you're getting great training for free.

This semester is almost over - just do your best to get through your classes, finishing up with good grades. That alone is enough to stress-out any student!
I applaud your taking on responsibility and taking it seriously.
But, what you are doing right now is just too much for someone in your age and position.
Talk to your Mom / and your Dad separately.
Given the ages of your family members, they need to be pitching-in on the work and errands. ( For example, whoever fixes dinner does not have to do the dishes or other chores that day.) Your parents need to step-up and BE parents as far as the running of the household, and in how every body is getting along.
Life with the family is short - and each of you would do well to learn to handle adult responsibility in the manner you have.
Lastly, you really need to do less. For yourself and for their sakes. They are not going to step-up and do the work if you are there doing it. For you to continue on and on and let them slide -- there's a name for it "co-dependency". For your own health and stress level you really need to delegate (that is you Mom and Dad need to)
Congratulations on your graduation. For a break, consider getting a fun summer job. Maybe something away like a camp counselor at a lake or in the mountains.
