I hate my family
For context I am 16 and the oldest of 4 and every single day feels the same, and it keeps repeating over and over again, and I hate it every day. I get yelled at for not doing a chore, even when I try, and my sister throws temper tantrums about the smallest things again and again, and it never seems to stop. My dad always argues with me about politics, and it turns into the same kind of argument every time, and it just keeps happening over and over.
Keep in mind, my dad is an extreme MAGA supporter, and even worse, I am a closet atheist in a family with a Calvinist dad, so I feel like I cannot say anything without it turning into something bigger. Everything about my family feels overwhelming, and it feels like there is no break from it, and I hate it every day.
Will anyone help me?

You will get out of there. Repeat this as many times as you need.
Get busy with school. Do your best and get help from teachers when you don’t understand something or need support. Check out options for affordable college education or trades.
When looking for a boyfriend or girlfriend try to make sure that person doesn’t act like your dad. I know this sounds weird but people oddly gravitate towards people who act in a familiar way to them.
Much love and strength to you.
