I turn 16 this weekend :), & am fully aware of my rights, but I'm kinda confused if I should leave home or not. I have had a very unhappy home life for 2-3 years now, and it upsets every aspect of my life. I feel really trapped in this house, almost to the extent where it's unbearable. My other sisters have openly admitted they see me getting treated differently from them. My mum has known of my feelings towards this for the 2-3 years, and she asked me recently if I would like to go into foster care.
My boyfriend lives close to me and I'd be down at his house increasingly more often recently. I have discussed with him the possibility of me moving in with his family.
I feel like a completely different person down at his home; I enjoy helping around the house and generally being there. My grades at school have went up as I feel relaxed enough to study down at his house. I love all members of his family and have a bond with them, more so than my family. I try to spend as much time as possible down with him before I have to go to my house and face the negativity I would prefer to block out. Also, I can't help but think moving in with his family would be benificial for me in the long run, academically etc.

I'm not sure if I should go through with it or not?
