What else can I do but move out?

I can honestly say that I know I’m too young to move out, but I don’t know of anything else that could help me. I think the best way for me to start out this is by telling you when I first started to fall, in the beggining of last year my dad had some financial problems, he asked me to lend him $2,000 and he would repay me, I knew he needed it but he never kept his word and I have not seen a penny since. My mom too had a financial problem she asked for $1,000 this went to pay off my sisters debit card debt which my dad forced upon her. My parents finnaly got some financial help from an outside source but I have yet to see anything. Later on this year I got a speeding ticket 45 on a 30, I can honestly say it was because I needed to pick up my sister and she was getting upset. Later last week I had an accident in her car, it wasn’t my fault, the car got totaled. Ever since I have not heard the end of how irresponsible I am, how careless I am. I want to yell at them but it really wouldn’t do any good. my sister is not only a liar, but she betrayed my trust. she has had a boyfriend for 3 years and through their relationship she ran up a $3,500 bill, she skips school on a regular basis to be with him, and shes too naive to know that if she continues this she will have this burden for the rest of my life. I go out of my way so my parents dont know about it my parents forbid them of seeing each other I honestly have done everything to help but it just seems that in the end I get nothing but the blame

some one please help me I know im not bad I recently got accepted to LeadAmerica, the Nationl Youth Forum of Medicine, and there’s more
I REALLY NEED HELP

You seem to be a pretty with it young guy: financially you’re independent enough to lend money, you’re trustworthy enough to keep a secret and you are mature enough to know that yelling doesn’t get you anywhere. Maybe what you’re lacking is a good dose of honesty. Instead of keeping all this to yourself and purposely taking on the role of everybody’s savior, you should learn to put your foot down (nicely and calmly) and just say no. There is nothing wrong with being honest about how you feel and telling people you love (aka your family and friends) what you need and what your limits are. It will not only make them respect you but will bring them closer to you. We all need to learn from our mistakes (ex.: an accident , breaking a promise, lying to the our loved ones, indebting ourselves for love, thinking more of others then ourselves) no matter how small or big they are.
