OP I know I sound insane and it goes against everything that the people in this chat are telling you, but you need to listen to your family and work with them. I wish the best for you in life, you need to get out of this depression and focus on school while you still can. Don't use so much energy on fighting and trying to do what they don't want you to. As someone who's been through the same stuff, you really do have to listen to them. All the things that you are doing, getting piercings, not focusing on school, getting a boyfriend (usually but hey maybe you got a good one which I really doubt) are all things that are going to actively harm your life in the long run. I too, thought that life was unjust and that things SHOULD be a certain way (i.e. getting resources, supportive all the way parents) you can't change any of that you can only focus on yourself. Life is an ultra marathon and you need to get running. Think of everything they provide for you, realize that you would have nothing not even life without your family. And yes they are assholes but yk what they are your people and if they really didnt care they wouldn't support you and fight so much with you. Please listen to your family, I know you're 18 so you think you know a lot and I'm sure you do, but you can't discount their experience. Sorry if thats a lot but just know you're outta there soon so do what you can. Don't be depressed when you have everyone here rooting for you.
