1st: CALL on the name of the LORD JESUS and put your FAITH in HIM. 2nd: HONOR and RESPECT your parents. You do not have to agree with them on politics. But the bible says that honoring your parents comes with a promise - a long life. 3rd:Be HONEST with yourself - do you have personal problems or addictions? Confess your sins to God and face your demons head on and God will give you the strength to overcome them. 4th - Get a job (any job) even if you have to walk or ride a bike in the rain to get there. Even if it is cutting grass or digging ditches. Get 3 jobs. You can not fix your car and take care of you problems if you are not working. Until you find a job WORK around the house for your parents for FREE doing anything you can - cleaning, changing lightbulbs, yardwork, etc... nonstop...(keep doing these things even AFTER you get a job) 5th- Once you save up enough money - find a deal, move out and rent a room maybe close to your job - do not get an apartment all by yourself - get a good roommate to share expenses. 6th- Surround yourself with GOOD people - (from church or work, etc) do not hang out with losers! 7th- Do not be idle (do not sleep late, do tv or internet or play video games at all...) until your life is turned back around BONUS: think about what you want for the future - a family, a good job, a better life? You are young and it is all yours for the taking. Keep a positive attitude while you create a FUTURE vision for your life - and always say "MY BEST DAYS ARE AHEAD OF ME." cause with JESUS....they are!
