You CAN get a job. You CAN not bother them about clothes and junk food. They are NOT life necesities. You CAN appreciate the fact the whole world is in finantial crisis. If it's problem for you to get part time low skilled job, imagine how difficult is for parents to get a high paying job that would pay the expenses of what sounds as upper upper class lifestyle that you used to have...

Imho, they are not putting it on you... but if they don't have the money, they don't have it. Only way to keep it from you would to rack up debt on their credit cards...

I come from lower middle class and I lived with "if you want this, then you have to give up something else" my whole life. I still know I have it better than many.

Parents are providing you. Even with *private* high school. You have more then many have. And you are old enough to try not to make it harder for your parents. They aren't probably happy with the situation either.

I am not trying to be mean. Yes, it sucks that your life is not as what it used to be. But it's not the end of the world. Arguing with parents and being bitter will not make it better. Try to make best of the situation. Maybe you can even learn from mistakes parents might have made.
