It's normal to feel the way you feel, not just because you're a 16 yr boy. Look, don't feel down, well not much, so what if you dress differently, talk to them, try to put yourself in with them, if you find yourself quiet then speak up on a topic of conversation or start one.
My family... well I'm the black sheep I would say. I dress differently and act. Plus I'm bi, so that doesn't wave with many of them BUT now I know who I can hang with and not.
Just be yourself.

No one fits in anywhere at 16----this is the time of your life when you are bonded to your friends, not your family, anyway.
This changes back and forth over the years. Someday, you might be very close to your family, but don't be alarmed if you aren't right now.
Girls in families are just easier to relate to---they have many more "people skills", but you have to be who you are. Your qualities are very important, too.
Eventually, you'll see all your family in perspective, and it will make complete sense. You also are trying to see a "family" situation as perfect---it's the complete opposite, usually. It's usually a rough situation, and a clash of personalities.

Yes it is perfectly normal for a 16 year old and most likely your sister either felt the same way or does to some degree.
Believe it or not you will grow out of it.

You sound like a tipical 16 year old. I always thought that when my kids were that age and they thought I was doing everything o.k. they were up to something. It seemed that it was my job to keep my kids on their toes. You'll have plenty of time to dislike your family when you move out and are in your 20's

i believe so...
ur at the age where you are still finding yourself
or maybe you've already found urself and that person does no equal to what your family is
i would say just love them for who they are because they will always be your family you cant change that
and at the same expect them to love you for what you are
co-exist peacefully
it wont be easy
but it can be done!

You didn't mention what the nature of their teasing is, so it's hard to say whether you are over reacting or not.

alot of people go through that same type of situation in their teens...it will get better, and you will be close with your family soon enough if you just stick it out

I don't really like my family either. Personality wise anyway.
