I am 15 and live in a household of 9. It feels like I'm the only responsible adult. I am the only person who cleans up, cooks, watches the kids and animals, and all that kind of stuff. Normally I'm not picky about it but it's been getting so out of control recently. My parents are constantly shut in their room, and I have to juggle all the house responsibilities, my schooling, kids, and not have time to do what other people my age do. I don't even know what other people my age do anymore, everything I try to strike a conversation they seem so childish and I can not relate. I have been mistaken for an adult too many times to count and it was flattering at first but now it's just exhausting.
On top of that, I have to regularly clean my grandparents and a uncle's basement apartment because they do nothing for themselves. One is bed bound but the others are perfectly fine and it's not like their unable to, they just don't. I have to clean their entire laundry basket full of dishes and scrounge through the giant pile of medical supplies to sort everything with mice pellets all on my feet. They were supposed to pay me for this stuff so I could save to for college or top surgery but they have been dodging it.
At this point college seems to be my only way out, but there's still year before I can do that. Any suggestions ig?

if they arent paying you, stop doing it. demand pay at the very least.
