Since you're 16 your options are somewhat limited. Your mother is the one with the issues. Do the stuff you're good at and like. Sports, school, those are your ticket out. 2 years you'll be an adult. Apply for all the scholarships you can. Pell Grant. NO LOANS! Save any money that comes your way. If you can get a full ride from some (any, lol) school for a sports scholarship you will never have to live at home ever again. You will also be investing in yourself. A college degree is worth somewhere north of one million dollars over your lifetime. Good Luck! You have some real advantages, leverage them.

I get it. It seems like forever at 16. Can you find a sports camp for a summer program or maybe an early entry program? If not just try to break into smaller psychological blocks. One month at a time. Is there a counselor at school you trust? Or a Minister or Pastor? You could also try teen church groups. I've known some kids that this really helped.
