sounds like your dad is giving you a hard time. Sometimes you may never know what is really bothering him. What you can control is you. Find a quiet, private place in your home and do your homework there. If you do your expected chores and stay out of sight things may be better. Keep in mind at 15, being on your own only sounds like a good idea. Good Luck, stay positive

Something I should have suggested to you last night is what Had worked for me when I was a 15 year old girl and what has worked for my own daughter when she was 15. When two people really see things in two different ways it is difficult at best to have a real conversation. What I had done many years ago was write my Parent a letter. You get to write it,read it, re-write it and finally hand it over to the person that you want to read it. No yelling, no fighting, just one person communicating to the other how they feel. When ever I felt that my voice was not being heard, or I thought that my words were being twisted, a letter was what I would offer up. It didn't make everything magically better, but it did allow me to get my thoughts across and I do think it helped. When my own daughter and I started to find difficulty in communicating, I asked her to write it down. It is very hard for a written word to be misunderstood. nothing gets said out of anger (if you read what you write before delivering the letter). This has worked for the generations in my family and I hope it works for you.

Acknowledge that he desires your course to be straight now and after you leave the home. Submit to his requests as much as you might hate it. I went through it too with a lot of hate and rebellion pent up all the while. Now I thank him! Work on becoming responsible yourself so that when it's time, you can support yourself with at least a job and a car to get you there. Hang in there, and though it looks differently to you now, your dad loves you.
