Just dont say anything to your stepdad/stepmom they are not related to you. If they get on your nerves talk to ur mom/dad about it. I hope this helps you guys.

--Tiffany

--gioia, 11

Well, I don't really know if this qualifies, but we are adopting him. He has anger issues, and I know he is from asia, since I am asian, but he left his home in Thailand. Coming here was hard, but he says I have it easy! It wasn't any easier on me, because guess what? He took my room, so I bunked with my parents for a WHOLE YEAR! I slept on layers of blankets and sleeping bags, but still, they stepped on me because it was near where their dressers are. We still always who had it tougher!

--Brandon

I have a step brother, he is much older than me, he is 19. I feel bad, I have both biological parents and he only has his real mom. When we were little we always fought about attention from dad, but as we got older we realized how much we both are going to get, NONE!
--ArthritisGirl

I only have one stepbrother and that's it. But other people at my school have many steprelatives and it's driving me nuts!
--Lizz, 11

Yes, I do. I have 3 stepsisters ages 10, 12, and 24. And I also have 1 sister who is 21. It's not really that difficult. The reason for me having a step-family is because my father is dead so my mother remarried.
--MaKensie, 12

First, I have 13 siblings. 10 older sisters, and 3 older brothers. My mother died when I was a year old from cancer.My father worked 3 jobs because there were so many of us kids. My oldest sister who was 16 worked part time at the supermarket, as well as my other sister who was 15. Everyone else that could, babysat. And we weren't spending a lot of time together. So my father decided to remarry. Now, I have 4 stepsisters and 1 stepbrother! Now only 7 of my siblings actually live with us, because my others are 27,26,21,and 19. But we live in this HUGE amazing house. And believe it or not, I don't even have to share a room! Although all of us kids work as well, either babysitting or other. My stepsibs are: Amanda: 17 Kathrine: 15 Katrina: 12 Jennifer: 10 Jake: 16 Most of my friends can't believe I have my own room, and my house even has an elevator. My step mom is really nice! I even just call her Mom.
--Maria, 12

My parents got divorced when I was 4. My dad got remarried when I was 5, but they got divorced again. My mom still isn't married. But she's engaged to a guy named John. My dad is married again. I have 1 halfsister, 3 stepsisters, and 1 stepbrother. But John has 3 daughters. Fingers crossed they get married!The best part is that I finally got a sister! Three, actually. AND One is the same age as me. We share a room. We have a bunk bedI wanted to get a bunk bed really bad. We take turns sleeping on top. When she's at her fathers house, I sleep on top. And vice versa. The toughest part was getting used to my new step mother, and my parents dating and stuff like that. And sharing. I was an only child, so I had my own room. But my stepsister Amanda and I are the same size in clothes so we share sometimes. We are so close! I call my step mom by her name, which is Liz. I love my step mom almost like my real mom.
--Miranda, 12

My parents are divorced, and before I was an only child. When my dad got remarried, I got FOUR younger stepbrothers. It was a HUGE difference. The oldest of my stepbrothers is only 3 months younger then me, and we're really close.
--Ambrie, 12

I have a half brother, little Peter, and he is 20, so there is a 7 year age different. He lives with his real mom, and his and mine dad is with me and my mom. Peter always thinks I get more attention from dad, and I always thought he got more attention, truth is, even though Peter doesn't live with me, we get the same amount of attention, NONE!! I feel like I have been raised by a single parent, because my dad doesn't even say hi to me. Me and him have just gave up trying to get his attention. My responce, "Oh, well.
--Elizabeth, 13

Riri (10): I just wanted to say that it's never a kid's fault if their parents get divorced. A lot of kids feel that way, but please know that it isn't your fault. Parents have problems between each other, but it has nothing to do with their kids. I'm sorry about what your family is going through. I hope things work out for you.
--Abigail, 13

my step sister from mexico is coming here to california to see me what should i do what should i say
--olga, 11

My mom and dad have both been talking to each other about getting a divorce. At first I didn't think that my parents getting a divore was a bad idea until now. I feel like it's all my fault, and I'm afraid my dad is going to get married to some mean person. My dad does not care about me or my mom and my sisters so we'll be staying with my mom if it ever happens.
-- Riri, 10

my real dad didn't even care for me for a year just 3 months luckily my step dad is nicer and he is the same age as my real dad
--Stephanie, 12

Well, all I have is a step father, but I'm proud to call him dad. My real dad sure doesn't care about me, and I don't care about him. But my step dad is giving me the childhood I need, so I'm glad.
