oh, your not gonna want to hear what I have to say...but I am gonna say it anyway. I remember when I was 16. Hon, we think we know it all at that age, and we don't know squat!..
Your young, friends are important. They listen to you, and tell you what you want to hear, and 5yrs from now, you won't know half of them. "They'll take you in"...you don't get along with your grandparents. Why, because they have Rules?.
It's "party" time at the friends house, type thing.no one "understands" you..Of course they do...your 16!!
The state has given custody to your grandparents because either your a trouble kid, or your parent(s) are screw ups...
I don't know where you live, but it's pretty late where ever you are if in the states, and your on a Computer, on this site.
Life can't be that bad my dear, some kids are in foster care, and they sure ain't on any computer this late at night.
If your life stinks, maybe your not doing your part to help matters. Teenagers, we can be pains in the @$$, yes?..
So why don't you look at things from someone else's eyes.
You were TAKEN by DCF, do you not think your grandparents have had enough crap they've gone through so that your placed with them and not in foster care?...DCF is still involved as you said, so there is way more to all of it than your writing. If your a pain in the butt, why don't you just chill out and give everyone a break..if your not, and you know what I mean, then why don't you focus on your schooling, and your future, because "all of my friends", your priorities aren't in order.maybe it's time to try to grow up just a bit..
not meaning to insult you, I'm not. but I was your age, and went through some hell myself. Raped at 15, drunk mother, so it's not only you on the planet who has hard times my dear.It's what you learn from them, how you make yourself demand better, and that means striving for something, not relying on "friends" to make it happen., they wouldn't be feeding, clothing, housing etc. you for long, and if the state pays them, that's the only reason they would do it! They don't meet the requirements, doesn't that tell you something?? Hello, wake up! .Give your grandparents a break, I'm sure they need one!

Listen, at 16 you are not suppose to get along with any adult who sits in authority over you. Are your grandparents good to you? DO they love and care for you? If so then, you just need to accept and hopefully be grateful for them. This is where God has placed you. If they are cruel, then you should talk to your worker.BTW ;you could end up with very strict family if you leave your grandparents. Just remember if they really love you and want the best for you...you will regret hurting them later in life by leaving them. YOu might need to focus on blooming where you have been planted!
Good luck~
