 Steps

    1
    Find your own method of transportation. Ride the bus, walk, or ride your bike to school. This allows your parents more sleep.
    2
    Make or help make dinner. You could help make dinner on certain nights and on the other nights make dinner yourself. You could also make leftovers from the night before. Also you could just heat something big enough for you and your family so you don't have to have leftovers the next day.
    3
    Don't always bother your parents with little problems like a fight, unless they ask you about school, but don't withhold important things. Which means you don't necessarily need to ask them for everything at every minute.
    4
    Be Organized. Make sure whenever you're going out somewhere, you have everything ready. People don't want to wait for you. Make sure if your going out with a friend or a group of friends that you have a cell phone and if you don't then make sure they do, just for emergencies.
    5
    Don't stomp your foot when you don't get what you want, and don't badger your parents 24/7 about it, either. These are difficult financial times for both parents and teens. And plus, it is embarrassing
    6
    Do chores. Help out around the house: do dishes, laundry, clean the living room, take out the garbage, clean the bathroom, clean your room, etc.

 Tips

    If you have a sibling or young relative with you, try to keep them quiet or, if they need something, help them.
    Stay calm when things go wrong. Be responsible, and be polite.
    Get a part-time job if you can. It will help your parents and make you more responsible.
    Focus more on living a simple, happy life. Break down your numerous wants to the urgent basics and try to overcome covetousness.

 Warnings

    If you have a big problem, like drugs or a medical emergency, tell someone.
