it depends. but if it's not any form of abuse, and you are not yet an adult, then yes, they can force you to do something. sometimes this really sucks, but you just have to go along with it. I hope everything works out :-/

You're only 14 so yes they can force you by the threat of punishment if you don't do what they say. It's a foregone conclusion that they can't force you to do something that is illegal.

I think that in most states you have to be at least 18 before you can refuse to obey them.

ya they can! if I don't do what they force me to do then I will be stuck at home for the whole weekend or for the whole month!!!

but if they want me to do something that will effect my health or effect my feelings and break my heart, then I would refuse and of course I have to give them a good reason why I'm refusing!!

Depends on what it is. If it's something like having sex, have an abortion, give your baby up, who your dating, stuff like that then no. If it's like going on a vaction, moving, what school you go to then yes.

It depends what it is. Say you're anorexic and they force you to eat. That is health related yet within their rights AND responsibility.
