Hi.

I’m 16 years old, and I live with my grandma. I lost my mother about 2 years ago. Life has been so dramatic since then. I’ve been through so much, it has drove me crazy, I’ve been abused, neglected, that’s why Ilive with my grandma now. I’ve been put away for being suicidal more than 4 times, i’ve had drug problems, but now I’ve been trying to change, i’ve been sober, and I haven’t cut in over 6months, I have an amazing boyfriend who has been helpingme… but now things aren’t good at home. I got all my grandmas kids telling me what to do, their driving me crazy. they lie to the cops saying im out of control just to put me away, all they do is put me down and discourage me. I’m sick of it. I know I have to listen and respect my elders, but why should I have to be upset all the time just to make everyone else happy? what should I do? I mean I’m mature enough to live onmyown, considering, I have no other family members to live with. i need help. bad.

Talk to your grandma about how her kids are treating you. See if you can get her to sympathize with you and help you out.

Can you get emancipated and support yourself and live on your own?

Here’s a wiki page on getting emancipated http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_does_a_…
I tried when I was your age, but my parents wouldn’t sign the paper. Maybe your grandma would.
It was easy enough for me to get the emancipation papers, but that was years ago.

If you can’t get emancipated you have only 2 years left til you can live on your own. Just don’t pay attention to the other kids. How many people live in your house?

Well that gives you hope that she might sign emancipation papers. Can’t hurt to try.

i have asked her about it, and she said no, but yet she wants to put me away so bad because she doesn’t want me, is there some way I can talk to a judge or something about it.

She is putting you in foster care? When? That will get you away from the her and her kids. Focusing on other things for 2 years til you can move out on your own.
