Comment on What should I do about my family?

You can survive. It’s not always the most fun option but it’s a very valid one. I was in basically the exact same boat as you. Ihad to put up with their crap long after I wanted to because it was truly the only option I had short of being a high school dropout living on the streets.

I made it through college and then began cutting them off as much as possible bit by bit. I’m now full no contact.

What I did was focus on myself and my interests. I focused on the things I could control. I couldn’t control their garbage attitude towards my hobbies, saying they’re useless and a waste of time (which, yes, they’re hobbies, that’s kind of the point) but I did them anyways (I watched So… Much… Anime…)

When I went to college I for the most part knew who I was, my flaws and strengths, and made more supportive friends.

You’ve got this. Just remember you’re in high school now but that isn’t forever. I started living my best life well after high school.
