My parents won't let me be part of the community and grow up.

They want me to stay home and clean around the home and do homework.

I'm turning 16 in August,and they won't let me learn to drive until I get good grades, which I won't because I'm depressed and am not getting anything out of life.

I want to drop out of school till the semester ends, because there's really no point in going where I'm not wanted.
I'm going to jumpstart my life next school year (i'll be a junior) with sports and drama.
I'm working out heavily and I'd be amazing at drama cause of my
I can't act mature like your average 10th grader cause I don't pick up on behaviors like that.

They won't let you be part of the community because they won't let you learn to drive. They will not let you drive because you have bad grades. Being mature or being an adult is doing stuff you do not want to do because you have to. So do the homework and get good grades so you can get what you want in return. My parents did not let me get my drivers license until I was pretty close to 17

Where your not wanted? Are you going to school for the other students, or your own education?

Saying that they won't let you drive until you get good grades isn't babying you, that's' just being strict. I see nothing wrong with that. If learning to drive is that important to you, you will buckle down and get better grades. Babying you would be giving in to you so as to not upset you.

If they are overprotecting you, you should Google some articles that show how overprotecting kids is harmful. I know, because I was overprotected until I was about your age and I just started doing what I wanted and not paying any attention to them.
