Hey,
I was going through the same thing you are when I was your age. I'm from North Carolina and my mom abandoned me when I wad just a little girl so I was mostly raised by my dad and grandma. When I was around 16 or 17 I became so depressed that I would stay away from friends or anything I thought could go wrong. If you keep fantasizing things you want to happen that's alright. I had my own little fantasy world too I wanted to be a badminton player. I told my dad about it and he got so mad saying it was stupid and I would never go anywhere in life... I proved him wrong. I got so fed up I moved to Nashville when I was 21, I met my boyfriend (now husband) there, who is a sucessfull country singer. I started playing badminton more and before I realized it, I had became the top female badminton player in most states. Now I travel all around the country and even to China for badminton. So I guess what I'm really trying to say is just lift your head up and repair things with friends first. If your "fantasy world" isnt too ridiculous you should seriously try and make it true, like I did. And about your dad, try talking to him and if that doesn't work and makes things worse there's always somebody out there to help you.

I was also the same at your age ... I think most teens go through these emotional stages, it's most likely hormonal. My mom also used to nag me about alot of little things too, and it used to annoy me but now that I have a teenager, I see why she was like that and so will you, someday Wink I'm sure your dad is just worried about the fact that soon u will be an adult and living your own life. Try to stay positive (thats what I tell myself when times are hard) and focus on your goals for the future ... Dont let temporary problems or negative people get you down. Wink
