I had those problems when I was sixteen, too
I never got on with my mum. Unfortunately, the council would do bugger all unless I was 18, apart from put me in the hostel that had murders, drugs, and allsorts in it.

Problem was, whereas social services couldn't do anything for me, they intervened from putting me in that place.
