I wish I had a cat.
And a turtle. Don't get me started on turtles.
Why don't you travel around a bit? Explore the world, try new things. Definitely recommend it if you're going to make writing your career.
No money = no traveling. Even
cheap (and I mean
dirt cheap) traveling is uber-expensive.
i had strongly considered this option but as a white haired old dude in chaps once said: religion and i don't mix
Heh. I know. Besides, I wasn't serious. So... have you thought of a way to move out? Maybe if you worked all the time, your parents wouldn't harass you so much.
But then again, this is the states, where the job market is at an all-time low.

I'm seriously considering a life of crime because of this. Really.
Sure, there's prison, but all you have to do is shank someone and they'll leave you alone.
You'll probably have to shank someone every two weeks, but still, free food free water, free sleep.

I'm not saying get into crime. I'm really not saying that. What I am saying is, just find two jobs or something and keep out of the house so that your parents won't bother you.

There's also the option of living at a really cheap, really bad motel, but I don't want you to go through that either (besides, I've looked, it's not that cheap).

Whatever, I'm just saying, consider it an option if it's that bad.

i wanna my own truth about the world and i wanna pass it on and my writing will help me do so.
Yeahhhh... like I said, I had the same problem. I had to go through... some pretty desperate measures to get out of it. No, I can't tell you what they were, sorry.
Anyway, that post I made just now, I guess it can apply to you as well. I don't want it to apply to anyone, but it's just one of the (very) few solutions I have. I'm sorry.

Also, I remember Chancey complaining about life at home as well, so that post was more-or-less for him too (sorry Chancey).
