My [real] Angst [hueg liek xbox]

It is a bad situation, but you don't have to be trapped inside of it forever. If there were any relatives you can trust, I would see if you could explain the situation and arrange to move in with them (also discuss this with both of your parents). From the sounds of it, getting away from the current scenario for awhile and starting fresh would do you good. From there, you should get your HS Diploma or GED first and foremost. You may also want to consider getting a part-time job during the weekends while you go to school, in order to build up experience for getting a steady job after you graduate. Having that would be a good springboard into getting a halfway decent job, and perhaps obtaining a college education someday.

You are still young, and have loads of time to bail out of this situation if you are ready to take some firm steps in the opposite direction. I would say being personable and making an impression on people as you are describing is a huge asset. Half the battle in any job interview is often times the impression you make on the person considering you for the position. Having all the experience and qualifications in the posting is not always necessary.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
