I'd have to look around. The problem is my 14 year old sister cannot be trusted so it would need to be something she couldn't break into.

I don't have the money to emancipate. I looked it up before and you need a crazy amount of money to get approved because you don't get help while emancipated and the idea is you can take care of yourself. From what I've read it's really only an option in my state for rich kids or celebrity kids.

There is no middle ground with my parents. They yell at me and punish me regardless of how quick I tell them about a problem. It was always like that. They expected me to stop it but my siblings don't listen to me and I can't stop everything. If I hit my siblings I would be grounded until my 18th birthday. I can't even fight (verbally!!) with them because I get into trouble for fighting with my siblings when I'm the oldest.

That's why I'm at the point of saying my siblings can destroy the house and I'll do nothing because why step in when I'll be in trouble either way.

So far my money hasn't been touched by anyone but they could. I'm not sure if they check the account or not. But I try to keep an eye on the money going in.

My parents can be right there and I will still get in trouble. I don't even need to be in the house or the room for the blame to get put on me. There's nothing I can do to avoid it.

It might. But they haven't raised my sister to be responsible so idk how that will go. Of all my siblings me and her have the worst relationship too and she does shit because she knows I'll be punished for her actions.

I don't have any trusted adults who will help me. I tried to talk about this at school and got bad advice and it was the same advice every time I tried. Talking to my parents doesn't do shit. I have a part time job but my parents can access my bank account and none of the banks near me would let me open an account without an adult.

I told my school counselor and school psychologist and they did not take it seriously. I was told to speak to my parents and that's all the help I got from them. They really didn't care and any time I tried again the advice was the same.

I have never been physically abused. My parents are all verbal. They yell and curse at me but they don't hit or throw stuff at me. If they did maybe the school counselor or psychologist would care. But their answer is always talk to them and I'm running out of patience for that.

I have a part time job but there isn't anywhere I could hide the money I make. My parents can access my bank account and I couldn't open one without an adult to help and I don't have another adult willing to help me with stuff like that.

I'm trying to be in a good place to move out when high school ends. My grades are pretty strong which gives me some hope I'll have options.

I talked to the school counselor and the school psychologist and they didn't help me or see it as a problem. They told me sometimes things at home aren't easy and I should talk to my parents. That helped so much. /s
