Can I move out at 16?

I genuinely don't think I can stand this much longer.

My dad doesn't speak to me unless it's an insult or snide comment. He has claimed two rooms of the house for himself, which we aren't allowed in. He can be verbally abusive to everyone, and acts like a toddler.

My mum is narrow minded and likes to dictate everything (you can't have that opinion etc). Every time I speak, she will chastise me. She sticks up for my dad even when he makes her cry.

My siblings are rude and disrespectful. I am currently revising for my GCSEs and they purposefully interrupt me with little regard for how it affects my studying. They are spoilt and have shocking behaviour.

Every day since I turned 11 I have been cooking for my siblings. The housework must also be done. I can't attend any after school revision sessions as I have these responsibilities, and I'm not allowed anywhere with my friends.

My dad does nothing around the house, preferring to lock himself away and pretend we don't exist. My parents buy masses and masses of pure junk food (like, loads). They order takeaway for themselves every night, and give my siblings huge amounts of unhealthy food. They never exercise apart from a quick dog walk, and as a result of these things, my siblings are very lazy and unwilling.

I have no support. As I said, my dad doesn't speak to me. My mum is dismissive. If I do well in a test, I'll get a "keep it up" and if I do worse than expected it's a "work harder". My exams are in two weeks and I'm really nervous, and my parents keep on getting me to do stuff, not allowing me to stay after school, saying "they're not that important".

When I struggled with MH problems (anxiety, depression, eating disorders) I was told to simply stop. I had no help and was forced to help myself. I still struggle a bit, and I just feel so alone here. No one seems to care, and to be quite honest I don't see them as family.

I really don't feel as if I can stay here. My friend offered me a room at hers, and her mum is okay with it. I just cannot cope. I feel so broken by not being enough for these people and not worthy of their respect. There's more than I've mentioned but this is long enough.

I'd appreciate if someone could advise me on any options I have.

Go revise in the library, once you finish uni, get a job and move out.

They can move out when starting uni.

If you can get the grades to go to uni at 17 then all the better though it may not be possible.

Theres ways you could move out but dont. I understand ur stressed by moving out would make it 10x worse, at 16 theres no way you could finanically provide for yourself let alone get a job, I have been in the similar situation myself I found that the best thing is to try and find ways to chill which I know is hard but u will have little gaps try to take advantage of them, I dont recommend it but I used to just lie and ended up stopping after school sending a text last minute to my parents just so they knew where I was.

Your siblings are going to be irritating thats what they do. Just lock your door, barricade if u will and say ur revising. Throw on a pair of headphones (even if no music) and get to work. For expecting your parents to say "keep it up" u just shouldnt expect that, this is for you and in the future do you really expect your boss to "motivate" you.

The best way to move out would be at 18 via student accomidation if you opted to go to university. Try and push to that point and that should motivate you. Then you can get your freedom and space.

Whatever u do I wish u the best.

I don't advise you move out now, you will struggle to support yourself without a job and the council won't give you housing if you already have a family. You will end up on the street and trust me, an abusive household is better than being on the street. I suggest you revise in a quiet place like a library, dont listen to what anyone says, if they are too lazy to get off their arse, they are too lazy to do anything to you regarding revision.

Once you have a stable job and can afford rent, I suggest you move out.
