Angst

[intra_linear]

I don't like being home... it takes a very short time for me to get bored and for my parents to start passive-agressively attacking my self-esteem.

Oh, hon. Can't you confront your parents about the fact that they make you feel so nasty? I know that's "just how your family works" but you really do deserve to be treated better.

I get very emotional when I try to talk about things like this with them, so they generally end up putting it down to teenage angst and hormones.

Maybe you could script it? Leave them a letter and specifically address them NOT ignoring you just because you're a teen? They've done wrong by you and it sounds like they just don't want to know it--well, if you can't get through to them it won't get better. Try writing it down and leaving it for them.
