This is how it worked in my family--my brother got some slack because of extenuating circumstances, but even with him there was the expectation that he had to be going to community college, even part-time.
To the OP: if you sister is a healthy, functioning 16-year-old, she has no right to expect your parents to support her if she took it upon herself to leave their house.
