Army ahhhh thats your choice. I'd go away to college for a few years. It will teach you to be on your own and help you grow up to be less dependant. Also you will get a great education hopefully so you can land a good job when you graduate to be completely independant of your parents. Thats the route I took and I couldnt be happier. Can you sit down and talk to your step father/mother about his behavior? That seems logical, aproach the situation like an adult and hopefully you will be treated the same in return.
