Yeah.. the statement "I can quit when I want to" is basically what every addict and their mother uses. It's nothing but an excuse 99% of the time.
Stop whall you still can. It saves money and believe it or not; it does more bad than good. That calming affect will begin to deteriorate, forcing you to smoke more and more until you smoke literal PACKS a day.

Save up some money and move out. Try your best to cope with everything in a fairly positive way (drowning yourself in drugs or alcohol of any kind does not count). Try boxing temporarily, perhaps? Even a pillow works. Meditate. Rant. Punch a small child. Etc.

Maybe I'm out of place for saying this, but as much as your parents are douchebags I don't think I can agree with more than half the things you defended yourself for in your OP.

Not doing well in high school is one thing, but there aren't very many legitimate excuses for failing it. The minimum requirement for graduation is a joke.

Smoking and drinking at your age? Smoking to calm yourself down? Maybe its not your parents but you who need to learn to conform. Smoking doesn't actually "calm" you down. Cigarettes stimulate you. You're more likely to become frustrated or have panic disorders if you smoke in general. Your stress tolerance level decreases. By smoking you quell your nicotine craving, which in turn relaxes your body. Without that dependency smoking wouldn't actually calm you.

2k a year? I hope you're joking. You're seriously one spoiled brat if 2k a year sounds like something you can toss out on cigarettes. Not in a real hurry to move out after all, huh? Or maybe you underestimate the true costs of living?

"I can stop when I want" is the biggest joke of an excuse you'll hear from every addict. I suppose I'm being hypocritical since I can say I have a rather nasty addiction to the internet, but thats not costing me 2k a year and giving me lung cancer, now is it?

I'm saying this for your own good. If you want to be respected and given the freedom of an adult, you should start taking responsibility like one too. The choices you make lead to consequences now. I ****ed up real bad two years ago and ever since then my life has been one big hell up until now. I would like it if you didn't make the same wrong turns.

Quote from Hiccup;511953:
My dad went psycho crazy nuts and ended up punching me in the back of the head, after kicking a hole in my door. (Loooong story will post in another thread) And not too soon after I started working out. Reasonable, but I have like 200 lbs. of muscle to gain before I can take my dad. Besides I don't want to. I told em if he hits me again I'm calling the cops, and my mom's gonna back me up on it. So bye-bye dad.

On a lighter note, this little bit paired with your avatar reminds me of this.
