My life from here to 4 years later....
I'm afraid im not really a 'family' person. We use to have it all when were little, the nicest clothes, bla bla bla but now the economy is bad and everyone saves every penny (I'm 14 and I still dont understand what a penny will do) But yeah, I've been through some chaos before. And I put this gigantic smile on when in public and you dont know what's going on. Things have simmered down, but now it's me that feels burnt...I just wish I could leave home and go to college and live my OWN life. Tired of living in a household. I just want 4 yrs to go by fast, get out of cruel mean public school and go on with my life. Unlike some bums at school, I actually want to be successful, do the right thing, and make something out of my life. I know I'll need my fams support and my mom will be there. But right now....it just seems like the second to worst time in my life.....ugh!
So I ask.....what should I do? What will help me get through 4 more years? And how will it all go fast?

Don't rush it! You're going to miss it. If you rush your life right now when you look back in 4 years you wish you hadn't. When I was 16, I wanted to grow up and be an adult and now that I am I wish I hadn't rushed. You can create goals for yourself in the future. Live in the now, and do the best you can right now. If you want to go to college get good grades and pick great schools. You need to not rush things and take things slowly.

At 14, Everything seems like hell. You complain about how much you desire to go out and live on your own but honestly? You are very lucky to still be living at home. The economy is effecting everyone not just your household. Many people nowadays have to move back home because the expense of living on your own is no longer affordable for many. Jobs are cutting back pay, Hours are getting cut, People are loosing jobs left and right and many companies are filing for bankrupt. The average cost for renting out an apartment is around 750.00 a month that cost is JUST rent. Then you need to add food, electricity, water. If you were to own a car you'd have to add the cost for gas, car insurance, car repairs etc. and by the time you are done that $750.00 would round up to maybe $1300.00. It isn't cheap, You should be very thankful that you have it easy right now. Maybe your family is sometimes a pain in the ass but in the end your family is going to be the people that support you more then anyone else. When you need the most, That annoying sister is going to always have your back. The smallest things aren't going to matter as you get older, You will learn to appreciate your family and their flaws. Nobody is perfect, Nobody has a perfect family. You just need to start realizing that when things seem to be so bad at home there are other people who have it worse then you do, There are people out there who don't even have families. Be thankful and do not be in a hurry to grow up.

Hey, I'm 14 too and have been experiencing the same thing as you. I get annoyed with my life easily, and somedays I love my family but other days I wish I could be in college. I think that every teenager has this feeling and desire to become independent, it's because it's preparing us for when the time is right for us to go to college. And because of hormones. But what I would suggest doing is finding some sort of hobby you like doing or something that you enjoy. This is what is getting me through this annoyingly difficult time in my life. I play tennis and am fortunate enough to have a radio show at my school. These too things are outlets that allow for me to kind of relax and forget about other things. Also, I have found that listening to music is a savior for me. It calms me down. Haha, as I'm writing this my mom is harping on me to clean my room. Well anyway, know that this a difficult time for tons of teenagers, including me. Just try to find something you enjoy doing and do it. My parents say that once you enter high school, these next four years go by really quickly. Hope I helped and good luck!! :)
