I'm currently 17 years old - nearly turning 18. I'm the only one in my family excluding my parents that has never been kicked out of school, passes all my exams - my lowest grade being a B and I work hard for everything I do. Yet I still get grief when I come home.
When I was 16, I got a job as a teacher. Therefore once I was getting paid, I was no longer dependent on anyone at home. I paid for everything that own- I bought a mac laptop pro, iPad and iphone 5s. These were a few of the rewards I got for myself because I earned it.
Because I'm the second youngest every older siblings think they can look down at me and think I should obey everything they say as if they are my creator- and then everything that happens as a consequence I get blamed for.
1) recently, all my siblings were helping to clean up the house - I did too. But once I finished doing one chore and I had to go to an appointment. My older brother who is 25 and came that day to visit said I can't go anywhere without mopping the floor. I told him I had to be somewhere and he said if I left I would be on trouble. I left anyway and when I returned I could see my laptop charger was missing. He took it and now he expects me to apologise. I have nothing to say sorry for and therefore I ordered a new one.
When I start university in 2015, would it be a good idea to live on campus to escape home life? And
If I see him again, I know I will argue with him so what should I do?
