I'm sorry that you are so upset.... I don't know the laws in your state but I think that you would need to be at least 18....? I think that your father is just looking out for your best interests however...I know you are at the age where you SO want to be a "grown-up" and have your own car and your own apartment but, Trust me, it is not it's all cracked up to be....$$$ first of all. Which involves working full time and struggling to pay the bills and the rent and the car payments and the insurance....YUCK!!
I don't know your situation but I think you should just enjoy living with your family and respect your father.
(I am on my super old computer so I would talk more but this thing will die any minute now...so I can't..but others will have more advice I'm sure...) Don't stress though, really...you're an intelligent beautiful young girl with a whole life in front of you...no rush!
