If you don't like the living conditions, move out. The world is not going to change for you, so you have to do the changing.
( I bet your in community college cause they don't want you to go anywhere) My parents are strict too, their asian.. Im like...14 and they still hit me. All my friends say their parents never abused them , or stopped because they got old. This is what I did for a while , but couldnt stand it " I told them: I don't want my phone, theres no use, Im not gonna do my homework, I NEED friends.
Take my computer away, I don't need it anymore." They thought I was bluffing so they did. And they got crazy when they couldnt call me after school to ask where I was, they got so mad when my grades dropped and all.. So they said ONCE a month, and oddly I was okay.
HOPE it helps...Maybe wont..
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
