This won't make your present situation any better, but it might offer some hope.

Late teens are a tough time to get through. Even under ideal conditions. Sounds like you've got some things working against you at the moment, but try not to forget it will get better as you gain more control over your life. It looks like much of your trouble comes from sources outside of yourself, for the time being. A lot of it is probably beyond your control and not your fault. Just don't let it shape your outlook too much, if you can help it.

No quick fix here, I'm just saying that if you can endure your situation for now, and work toward your future, you can make a future for yourself that's worth living in.

You could be causing some of the trouble yourself, I think you know that. If there's a fight brewing between you and your parents, shut up and don't make it worse by arguing back. In fact, keeping your big mouth shut is good advice for any 16 year old guy, myself included when I was that age. At 16 your ego's a thin, brittle stick, you gotta bend a little, roll with the punches.

I guess it could help to concentrate on the things you can control, make them better, and endure the things you can't change for now. Notice how I used the word control so much? Self control is the key to most things in life, in my opinion.

Good luck, hope to hear soon that things are going easier for you.
