We all seem to think that life is always greener on the other side, but maybe your not looking at the good things in your life right now. I know life can be stressful, but it's not worth dropping everything and starting over. I haven't ever done that in the sense that I moved, but I did try to restart and rediscover myself, but I came up with the same problems I had. It's not going to change just because you move. Sit down and think about the things you like, instead of the things you don't.

You are still 2 years away from being an adult, so you are kind of stuck living wherever your parents are... however, you can reinvent yourself any time you want. This is your prerogative. Change your clothes, change your hair. Develop new tastes. Read new books. Develop yourself. Evolve yourself. Undertake some new extracurricular activities or join some new clubs at school so you can socialize with a different crowd.
You can make new friends if the old ones have not grown up to keep pace with you. Maybe they will eventually catch up with you.
Listen... you need to get a little something down. There are FRIENDS and there are ACQUAINTANCES... even within family groups.
Acquaintances only call you when they want something... bring a present to a birthday party, or come when they call. These people are "users" at best. They typically don't care about you or anything going on in your life. You always wonder where you stand with these people until you put 2 + 2 together.
Friends are different. They are there for you, usually share common interests, offer a shoulder to cry on, cheer you on, and want the best for you.
At some point, you need to evaluate each relationship and ask, "What does this person bring to the table?" Is this person a mooch? A user? A manipulator? A drama-queen? A time-waster? Or is this person your cheering section? Provide insight? Make you laugh?
As you go down the list of traits and how each thing makes you feel, you will know who you should be spending more time with. That alone will make your life better.

Yes, I understand you completely, moving to me is a new beginning, something to get excited about. Something to get you out of your rut. But you seem kinda young, I wouldn't leave home this soon, when you leave this way, you can never come back the same.
The grass is usually not greener on the other side, your just gonna trade your old problems for new ones.
I moved from the country after living there for four years, but being a city girl, I had to get back, but I have a whole set of new problems here. But I do not regret leaving the country.
You get to a fork in the road, and you make the best decisions you can at the time, and you just say to yourself, well God's got something better for me.
Try homeschooling for a year, my sisters kids did this, and they missed their old friends, and went back. But it gave them that escape they needed at the time.

u are only 16, there is no such thing as moving away from life problems because the only go with you. And unless you go in the witness relocation program no one really starts a new life, just makes drastic changes for the better. its all in how u approach it

Yes I was 15 but had taken all my final school exams and moved from my country to England. I lived with my grandparents so I was lucky to have them. I continued my education and I am so glad I went. I just knew I had had enough. But listen if you go, make sure you have a safe place to go to!

you still have a long life to live before you enter the real world. everyone always wants to meet new people and be somewhere new...but then youll realize how much the old life was good to you.

I would recommend finding someone to live with if you do. Also if you are going to try to start over learn from your past and don't repeat them or you will end up in the same situation.
