Adventures in bad parenting...

This one is actually an ongoing situation.

My parents are overbearing assholes. They make too many decisions without consulting me.And I don't mean minor ones, I mean ones directly involving me.Here's just a few examples.

1)In my freshman year I signed up for JROTC out of curiosity, I then tried to get out but my parents insist I stay in it for the scholarship which requires you to join the military.I ask why not just go for a direct military scholarship since they pay for education anyway. No response. I tried getting out and they threatened to take driving and any leisurely activities away from me. They would deny me my license. So I'm a junior now, only two more years of that shit.
2)My parents signed me up in Beta club and now I'm having to do community service to stay in the fucking club that I didn't sign up for.Assholes.On a more minor note I'm having to miss a
tabletop session with my friends and their parents don't do this shit to them.
3)I started looking for a job and asking and my parents said wait and discouraged me. So I did and the next day they yell and say I need to go out and get one. They went from assholes to indecisive assholes.

Eh, I don't like my family at all anyway, but my parents in particular piss me the fuck off and I can't avoid having conversations or seeing them. Goddamn it.

How old are you exactly? By junior you mean like in highscool(not from the U.S, or Canada, or whatever, we don't use the same distinctions here)? If that's the case, they're just digging their own grave. You're just a kid, and are prone to fuck up from time to time in your appreciation of whatever they are doing but wether you are right or wrong, it seems like they are not addressing the issue that you have with them; namely your overall dislike for what you interpret as their constant interference and mixed signals.

If you are indeed a junior, then you'd be like 17, which would make you looking for a job not a very good idea by anyone's standards. Your main priority would have to be first your education, and much, much later looking for money for yourself to spend. If your situation is so fucked up, enough to guarantee that kind of anger on your behalf to the people that put a roof over your head, clothe and feed you-and let's not mention internet access, you should just buy your time, study, get your shit together and get the hell out of there if that'll make you happy.

As I stated, they are digging their own grave in there, because that kind of strange attitude-interpreted by you as being overbearing-is kind of letting that teenage anger (the impulsive "I'm never wrong" kind) brew in your insides and that can't be good. So yeah, whether you are right or wrong about whatever their intentions are, they are fucking up because as a minor, you are their responsibility; and here you are: angry on the internet calling your providers assholes. By the time you can leave, you will and won't look back. Sucks for them 'cuz you don't seem able to see it from their point of view(though so far how much of that is your actual fault I can't say).

Even if you are wrong, you are entitled to be wrong, being young and all. Your folks should just explain stuff to you instead of letting your teenage ill-will fester and boil.

One simple advice: Calm down and just ask what's happening and what their plan for you is. At least you'll know where you stand.

Pretty much any time I see a really fat kid, I wonder 'how did the parents let that kid get that fat?' And also the types of people on 'Super Sweet Sixteen'. If ever I found myself in LA with a handgun, I'd go straight for them.
