OP - That sucks! It appears that you should have motivation to get a job and your own place as soon as you can.

It can be hard to get a job if you are in a situation where you are seventeen and still have a strictly enforced bedtime. That can also mean that they have a strictly enforced "You must be home by this time" which can limit your availability which can make businesses less than incline to hire you. That's assuming that the OP isn't in a situation where their parent has flat out said they may not get a job because their job is to study, get good grades, and go to college. Plus the opposite could be true in the first place. The OP may already have a job.

My friend had to work at a family business so he never had any free time and all of his pay went into a bank account that he couldn't touch. Sometimes the family is the problem, not the OPs lack of initiative.

Order a pepperoni pizza for yourself, and refuse to share.

Better yet, get a job as a pizza delivery driver and refuse to take pizzas to that house.

and you can get 50% off pizza too

Now that's just cruel!

We have been monitoring the situation at your residence for some time. It is now time to act. What you need to do now is sneak out of the abode after you have been put down for nappy-time.

Once you are outside you must await the "delivery" person. When the "delivery" person arrives you must gently render them unconscious (method is up to you but we encourage caution).

Once you have completed this task you must consume the entire "pizza" to verify the authenticity of said "pizza".

If you choose to accept this mission, we will be in touch after you have consumed the "pizza".

If you are caught in the act, we must disavow any knowledge of your actions.

Now when you say family do you mean parents and is it there time to not have a 17 year old 3rd wheel.

I had a bedtime till I moved out of my parents' house... at 22. No knowledge of any secret pizza tho, so it's all good.

We used to party so hard once you were in your room!

That's grounds for disownment right there

It's a good time to start sleepwalking. People on Ambien claim to engage in sleep-eating. Problem solved.

Get a job, and get out of there
