What should I do
Yes but depriving oneself of home life and (formal) education does not automatically mean they'll wind up in a dark ally getting a human booster shot from a guy named Molly.
You have to embrace the hard times and accept the road less traveled for what it is before you can start to journey down it. The most important piece of advice I can offer is to not make hasty decisions. Take time to figure out your plan, whatever it ends up being, and stick to it.
Free Tibet, no grapes, and all that.
P.S Research emancipation in your state if you're interested in being declared a legal adult before you turn 18.\"And though we\'d eliminated the threat of the enemy flying planes into buildings, no-one was prepared for terrorists flying two buildings into the sides of planes. No-one was killed but a lot of people were surprised.\" -Time Trumpet, Episode 3

Get a part time job, talk to the parents of your best friend (or a really good friend you wouldn't mind living with), and ask if you can move in with them. But wait until you're 16, because I think 15 and below your mom can just call the police on you as a runaway. Don't quote me on that though, it might be 16 and below.

man you can work at 16 years old easily. heres what i say: first explain ALL this, all how you feel, and all the possible solutions to your mom, as well as your bros and sis. now if nothing chnages, i say u go live in a lil chamber, you work 25 hours/week plus school (if u can handle it), and try to finish your school. pratice a lot guitar, if u can in few month start bosking (playing in the streets for a lil extra money), and then when u finished school u make wut u want.
u can always next summer travel and earn money by working in some fruit picking, like in okanagan valley in BC, canada (i worked there this summer and earned about 12 to 15$ an hour for easy job)
so man travel, finish school, live by yourself, do what u want man. but finish school, if u want to go at college and study in guitar (im studyin in music, guitar right now)
hope itll helps. be strong and never give up! oh and why not ask your friends if they dont wanna live with you and share an appt?

Make sure that your education is your main priority. If this means staying at home for another two years, then do it. It'll be worth it in the end.
If you feel that you could maintain your education after leaving home, well, I don't know what the law is like in America, but in the UK could could get emancipated. You would legally be your own guardian. A friend of mine did that at your age, and social services found him a place to live, he's on housing benefit so he doesn't have to pay rent, and he gets a certain amount of money just for staying in education.
Seriously though, I can appreciate that things at home might seem abso - fucking - lutely dreadful right now, and I've never had to deal with that kind of situation myself. Having said that, and echoing what many other people have said, it's only two years. Don't fuck up the rest of your life over just two years. In the scheme of things it's not that long.
