Last thing I'll say is......from what I've seen in my brief time here you are a very intelligent and creative young man and I see some real potential. You have a way about you that brings people in and makes them feel comfortable while they are aorund you.....noone can take that away man

hahaha yeah me too.

Nothing really. Whats up with u?

Parents never want harm to come to their children and they try to set the perfect ideals but....it's a 2 way street. You're 16 now almost 17 so you've known right from wrong for a long time now. You also know your parents tendencies in the way they will react to something. Instead of being told to clean your room---have it done before they tell you. Instead of having to be told about your school/home-work try to incorporate them in it OR have it done first thing----we will all be here to talk to but....responsibilities should come first

My older brothers are 13 & 17 years older than I am and let me tell you they got the brunt of all my parents problems---lost jobs, lost cars, a separation---back together and when they were stable I was born. By this time my oldest brother was going into the military and my middle brother was a trouble-maker in school and got bad grades. My point is......you are the oldest and you are expected to be a positive influence on your siblings. My oldest brother is married---3 wonderful kids---owner/operator of a trucking company in Arizona and couldn't be happier. You have to realize they LOVE you and don't want anything bad to happen. I didn't drive for the first time until I was 16 & 9 months but.....that first drive is more rewarding after it was truly earned. We all turn 16 but.....did we earn the privilege to be on the road---think about that one

i'm sick since fri.. i feel like death warmed over

They view you as an adult now. My parents never really bothered with grounding me and finding ways to punish me because I was the youngest and they took that out on my older brothers but.....when I turned 16 they found ridiculous things like you mentioned to take my privilege of driving away......the reason they did that is because as responsible as I thought I was---I wasn't. They couldn't handle the fact that I was an adult so they tried to take that one thing away from me. Your parents don't want to see you hurt & that is the reason they o this. They will find any excuse to keep you from the road

Okay...so you are the oldest------you have your license and yet your parents won't let you drive? Do you know why this happening? I have a good idea why

How old is the sister that lives with you

Are they younger or older.....or a mix of the two
