The most important thing to remember is that everything exists on a spectrum, no matter how strange it may seem. Things in this world are very strange indeed, the current generation of kids will be terribly jaded and cynical by the time they reach 18, but they will keep evolving and new coping mechanisms will become apparent.
Think about your life up until now in your current body. Within seven years every cell of your body will be replaced, meaning the only thing that would make you yourself anymore is the experience you have from your life. The soul itself is something that is physical/spiritual at once, making it a bit of a paradox, but as with anything, you can train yourself to eventually be able to do very interesting things with sheer willpower and thought energy since the brain itself in many ways is a biological quantum computer with unlimited storage.
Whenever anyone (even your own mind!) tells you that you're "crazy", "abnormal" or "insane" then don't worry about it, once you reach a certain level of cognitive ability you can basically begin fiddling with your brains settings like a pc, but to even begin to get on the right path you must remember to keep the intellect and ego in their proper place or you will reap only failure. The ego is that part of you that is forever an infant, concerned only with itself and it's continued survival and comfort and the intellect is cold logic and reason without emotion, which comes from the heart. Looking at the state of science nowadays one can easily see that the spiritual side of things isn't just marginalized, but totally disregarded. This is often due to arrogance and an unwillingness to believe that there is a God or some Divine law of Karma, but science using only the physical eye and the intellect can only go so far.
I feel you about your parents, mine are getting older and its becoming more and more sad when they lie to me and each other about things and generally act like ignorant children. They don't understand this world much at all, but you can't really blame them.
remember you've got your whole life ahead of you, take some drugs (after safely learning about them of course!) and go exploring, wake up the childlike wonder inside your mind and you will see the depression slowly beginning to be pushed back.
