I want to quit my job but I don't know what I should do...?

I want to quit my job but I don't know what I should do...?
There's been so much change going on in my life...
My brother, whom I've very close with, recently moved out, high school is about to end, and a lot of people have been moving on and shuffling around me.

It's making me miss the way things were. I know that I'm going to need a job when I start college in September. But until then, I kind of want to sit back and enjoy the rest of my childhood, you know?
I wish I could just take a few months leave of absence to kind of try and work through some of the issues holding me back right now.
Online or campus for college?
Live at home, or travel to the school?
Which major of the two VERY different ones I've picked?

I just don't know what I should do. Would this be appropriate to talk to my manager with? Or should I consult someone else? I feel like this isn't a decision I can make for myself. I've talked with my parents and they are firm in their belief that I should not quit. I believe this is because they're going to lose money from my dad's social security when I leave high school. They want my help in supporting them, as I have been since I started working in March.
So they are slightly biased, I think.

I want to help, but I also want to relax for a change.

What would you do?

Don't quit till you are ready to move into the next stage.

Complete thorough realistic research to achieve life sustaining income. Maybe accounting, engineering, law, medicine, computers, ....

Pick a path where you don't start working bankrupt with debt. Don't become another casualty of the Trillion$ student debt. You must earn enough, $200k+ to support a family in a major City. Do not low ball your life and your family. If you can't find work volunteer to get in the door. Try volunteering at good potential employers and go down from there to community service, but get in anywhere and start working/networking, even if its for free.Be a model worker, no yapping, internet, cell phone..start work 30 minutes early and end work 30 minutes after day's end. Keep learning from more courses, read books, get another language, etc

Almost 50 million people on food stamps, ~20% of males 25 to 54 yrs not working, lowest SATs in 40 years, debt to GDP over 100%, 25% of global prison inmates with only 5% of global population, etc and whats uncle sams answer to America's problems? Corrupt political paralysis and meteroic debt plague spiking by adding a trillion dollars of debt in 2013 to criminally prop up financial markets artificially. What a mess we live in!

America You are On Your Own. YOYO's the word. Never forget it. Take control of your own lives and ignore what ever fictonal solutions the politicians and corporate bobble heads throw around as their self-profiteering benevolence.

Abandon obese consumer spending debt addiction culture and self enslavement. Cut your lifestyle in half or less of the destructive unrealistic American dream standard....small house or apt..one car or no car .. always have a second job cause the one you have can/will disappear ...save and invest over 50% of your income if you can .... stay with your parents....parents move in with your kids...Rent with friends...rent rooms in your home ..Live like the wage you make today could be the last you'll earn, always.

Most of all maintain constructive positive relationships and forward planning. Have fun at it without spending money. What you are wanting to do is great but do it with a strong dose of reality and caring for your future, family and community
