Can parents be sued

I recently learned that parents are not doing their parental duties.
I'm a minor, so I need my parents' consent to do anything. Now that I'm 16, my parents say to school, “I have fulfilled my parental responsibilities and I will live my life.”
However, when the tests are busy, they won't do anything. It's always a test.
I thought I'd live alone so I could go to school easily. Mom said she could do whatever she wanted, so I signed a contract and went as far as I could go if I showed my mother's seal certificate, but my mom said, “I can't go to the city hall because I'm busy with tests,” and she didn't make it for me.
Then, if you give me a seal, they'll get the documents at the city hall, so even if you write it, in a few seconds that person hands over the seal, they say, “You don't understand anything if you want to cut down on my sleep time. I'm busy testing.” If that's the case, it's in a loop when you go to the city hall.
I'm not going to school right now. I don't know why, but I can't go. I wanted to do something about it, so I was wondering if I could get close to the school. Are parents like that? Am I crazy?
I earn my tuition fees from part-time work. I am also raising 2 dogs whose mother abandoned childcare. When I lived with my mom (I'm at Grandma's now), I had no water or food until my mom came home. Of course, if you're in a bad mood, you won't have a meal.
Right now I just want to go to school. You'd think I should go then, but I don't know. I was wondering if I could go if the environment changed, but my parents are like this. This is now the only place I can talk to. After death, I have two daughters I love. Those kids aren't guilty.
I heard that if I talked to my best friend, they would be sued. Finally, please let me hear your monk's opinion.

Good morning.

you're a troubled mother.
I'm not an expert, so I don't know the details, but since 16 years old is a minor, I think the mother's behavior is abandoning childcare.
If it comes to a lawsuit (trial), it also costs money, so I think it's a good idea to go talk to the municipal office once.

Call 189 first

Hello Sakura-san.
I wanted to go to school but I couldn't, and even though I wanted my mom to help me, I couldn't do anything, so I worked hard alone. You did your best. Sakura-san is an elder.

But there was nothing they could do about it, so they finally relied on this place. This is a place where monks reflect the teachings of Buddhism and think together about the causes and ways to deal with your worries and suffering.
Buddhism explains that there is a cause for trouble and suffering. It means that worries and suffering can be solved by dealing with the cause. It's a very realistic teaching, isn't it?

Right now, a realistic way to deal with Sakura's worries and suffering is to get the help of necessary support.
As Kozen-san says, ask the municipal office counter, or call the Child Counseling Center Nationwide Dial 189. This number

① This is a nationwide phone number where you can immediately notify and consult with child counseling centers when you think it might be abuse.
② Call the “Child Counseling Center Nationwide Dial” and you will be connected to a nearby child counseling center.
③ Notifications/consultations can also be made anonymously, and the person who made the notification or consultation and the details are kept confidential.

It's something like that.
Sakura-san isn't crazy. I'm doing my best, desperately thinking about ways to go to school and taking care of my dog.
From now on, let's not work hard alone; let's get the help we need. Maybe it's a little difficult to expect from your mother right now.

I'm sure both Sakura and her mother need someone's help right now. I hope it progresses well with someone's help.

Please don't hold it alone. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us again.

First and foremost is your life and school

I read it.
As Kozenshi and Yoshimushi say, the first and most important thing for you is that you can live and live well with those girls, and that you can go to school.
Suing parents isn't the highest priority right now.

Please first contact public institutions such as child counseling centers or local governments about your current situation and appeal so that they can respond firmly.

Let's ask them to respond promptly by telling them about aspects of life, money, school, and parents' responses as they are.
First, let's prioritize life security and schoolwork. And it's about getting out of school properly.
And let's review your parents after you've grown up.
Once you go out into society, you will naturally be able to objectively view yourself.

You have a right to live protected. Please prioritize your life and school first.
Also, please receive support from many people.
There are always plenty of people protecting and supporting you.
Please actively receive support from everyone.

We also wholeheartedly support you.

Please tell me about your situation again!

I will always be watching over you.

There is an organization I know.

　There are organizations that support people like you who donate to my work.
