It's god-awful advice that you don't like hearing but the truth of the matter is that you're just going to have to wait it out. Things get easier in time, as you learn to play your parents and siblings like a violin.
Running away would be a very umwise decision. You aren't old enough to support yourself, I'm assuming. I'm going to fold this into the typical "fight with your parents because you're a teen" category. If I'm wrong, so be it, but from age 11-18 and having this problem, more than likely it's simply a puberty thing that is going to happen.
The best, though not the most eloquent advice, assuming you are in the age bracket, is to sit down, shut up and wait for it to pass. That's what I had to do, along with most of my friends. The others ended up getting thrown out, emancipated, or just plain arrested. I don't reccommend doing that. [ pseudophun's advice column | Ask pseudophun A Question ]

(trust me, calling your sister a bitch will not help you.) you can still make a strong statement without getting ugly. it'll show your maturity, which is what i'm feeling is the basic problem here.
you don't want to babysit. you'd rather be out having fun with your friends. completly understandable. but your parents might see it as a waste of time. so, make a deal with them. you get to see your friends if you agree to get a paying job (that doesn't involve neices and sisters). that way you're making a bit of cash and getting credentials for your resume. even if it is flipping burgers or saying "hello" at walmart; a job is a job, cash is cash, and your commitment to the job will mean something to future employers.
as for the fights with your sis...can't help you there. and hating your family...ditto. family frustrations are a right of passage we all must go through. give this a try for two weeks: anytime someone in your family says something mean or aggravating, don't fight back. say something positive to steer the conversation away from any negativity. if they still want to bicker, shrug off their bad attitude and let them have at it. don't let someone else make your day bad. as the old cliche goes, "misery loves company."
