Gorgon, she sounds like my stepmother. All I can say is, it gets better. It may seem like forever, but the distance between 15 and 18 goes quickly. When you're a young single adult living on your own, you'll find that you can create a better pattern for your life.

The time better go quickly, my sister moves out this year for college.  That's like leaving me in a hot-air balloon with lightning rods all over it during Zues's rath...

My solution was to join every club and sports team possible at school. Leaves minimal home time. But perhaps that exacerbated the problem. Take comfort in the positive things in your life; concentrate on those. You'll be that much further ahead than I was at your age--all I could concentrate on was how much I'd been wronged. But despite trials and struggles, there were always a lot of great things going on during that time, too.

Hmmmmm.  It's like a faery tale.  Except for me, it's more like that game where they took alice and put her in a deadly wonderland with a butcher's knife.  I have limited time funds I'm alotted to leave the house, and I basically already use all that.  Pretty much I always stay in my room and run kata or play video games.

Obtain laptop.  Find library.  Go to library to 'study.'  Play said video games.  (Or, if you're enterprising, start a novel.  I began my first when I was your age.)

Hmmmm.  Good suggestions.  I do write short stories with my cousin for kicks, but that still involves being downstairs.  As for obtaining a laptop, I'm doing my best with no allowance, and I would just walk places if I lived in an area where I could.  My closest neighbor is almost five minuites of walking away.  People at the library don't like me, but I do go occasionally to do very random things...

I find an easy way to get away is to make onion and some other friends help me in filmaking.  Unfortunantley, people get busy.  Relying on other people, I have decided, is never the best policy.
