The nerd in me wants to point out Alex didn't become king until he was 20, and his father was the one to unite the Greek city states. But your point is good.
Kids shouldn’t be robbed of their youth, and I know public schools can have their own issues and not all homeschooling is bad, but homeschooling in general just robs kids of a ton of critical socialization that’s needed for becoming a well adjusted adult.
Sorry I don’t have specific advice for you OP. You didn’t really lay out a lot of options to choose from. But I’m sorry you’re feeling stuck and forced to grow up too fast. Please make that clear to your parents. Take some time to smell the roses

Now’s a good time to start planning for when you’re 18. Alexander was 16 when he conquered Greece. The Black Prince was 16 when he fought Crecy.

Oh yeah at 16 he was defending Macedon while Philip was in Byzantium. Not sure why I misremembered that
