I'm 17, so I understand how you feel. I'm almost done school (just 3 months, and three weeks left!), and there is no way I want to stay living with my mother. I want to move out right away. Unfortunatly for me, it won't be that easy. I'm stuck for atleast another couple of months.

I can totally empathise -- nobody wants to stay at home forever. It's good to get out on your own and make your own decisions and buy your own things. It sounds to me like your family just wants you to get college out the door before you move. Maybe you should really consider that. It is hard and expensive to live on your own sometimes. Or maybe you could find a roomate? That would make it so much easier. Tell your grandparents that your doggies will keep the bad guys away.
