I'm STILL waiting for Gilad Shalit to come home!!
Go Israel!
Contact social services. They should be able to help you, but be prepared to explain to them why you want the 16-year-old out. Good luck.
Turn off the television and teach your children how to think.

Unless the 16 year old is abusive or violent, I doubt there is much you can do.
It is your responsibility to care for your children until they are of legal age - the fact that you are apparently butting heads is not cause for his or her removal.
The best suggestion I can make is to see if you have an extended family member with whom the child has a good relationship and who would be willing to become his or her guardian.
In addition to that, I highly recommend family counseling.
Finally, please keep in mind the following: You get out of it what you put into it. Bad behavior is a call for love - and this too, shall pass.

He's NEVER against U

Take away the comforts of their bedroom and give lots of chores. If that doesn't work, get out with your child. Yes, he/she will just about kick and scream at first, but, if he/she doesn't appear to have friends or activities, then it falls upon the parent to be the friend and create an activity. I was told, "Do something or I'll find something for you to do," and I found something to do quickly, because, my mom backed it up with things I genuinely did not want to do. Be creative, don't make threats, and back every promise up with affirmative actiion. Yes, I do have children, and I do have to practice these same tactics. I have 4 children and have to treat each one individually as no two people are exactly alike! But, its amazing how many similarities they have. I can clear my house in thirty seconds with one word...chores!
