Alright so here's the deal I'm not really the teen who takes stuff from other ppl (except of course my parents) but my stepmom just isnt a parent to me. I mean im a middle child with a step brother and a little half brother and she never yells or makes them do any choirs. And im always the one getting bitched at and doing every choir its kinda like a cinderella story. My big brother always used to give me crap when i was little and my parents never cared once he even traped me in my own room and started to shoot me with a airsoft gun and they didnt care but as i got older and stronger and when i start to rebel against him i get yelled at!! Both my brothers are fat and spoiled. If you look at my brother room compared to mine his is so much btr he has a huge *** flat screen But i have a outdated piece of crap he has a queen sized bed while i have a smaller then twin bed BUT wait it gets worse once he actually got a 4 wheeler just cus he passed summer school You wanna know what i got for passing without any problems? Not a dime! So thats why im starting to really get pissed off and i cant decied if i should just take it for a few more years till i go to college or just rebel? I dont wanna feel like a whiny brat but all my friends are saying 2 rebel but i dont know what to do! Oh yea and i forgot to say my big brother is only older than me by 1 year

1st of all, maybe you think people/parents can talk anyway they see fit and never lie. Turns out many are abusers. Actually they are not trying to be tough to make you better or help- they are tricking you. Bullies can be from home or school- they are sick.

There are many types of abusive people/parents. Some ignore you. Some hit the bottle. Some hit you. And some run their mouths and put you down. THEY are sick and feel great by being mean, and thats the only reason they do it. They are wrong about everything. The typical abuser is close-minded, self-righteous and was also abused themself. Use defense and read many sites on verbal abuse etc. People tear you down or give irratating advice to build themselves up. They are the ones with problems not you.

Remember- Abuse always involves some deception mixed in.

Abuse causes pain mistaken as mental problems- Cutting, OCD etc. Psychiatrists commit fraud in that all disorders are only emotions. For chemical imbalances NO test exists. You dont have what shrinks say you have. Dont tell abusers about any so called disorders. They will only drug you.

Jesus name and forgiving others who are wrong is important along with avoiding them.

Call or I can- Child Protective Services- Transitional housing to age 21- tell your teacher. Dont tell your parents they wont listen.

Learn the truth, forgive, and Get Away from them. Read many many sites under "emotional abuse" and "dealing with bullies".

I have some questions for you if want to talk about it.

Look this relationship is hard for both of you. Dont rebel against this. As a woman its very hard for her to get into a relationship with a man with kids. And she would already be paranoid about you not liking her.

Just take some crap from her. Try to understand how difficult things are for her. If you really feel something is not right, talk to her politely and discuss it without being angry or negative about it.

And women have a right to be unreasonable and cruel sometimes. I cant tell you why but you might know. But just take some crap for a while. Be very mature about this

You should sit down your father and talk to him. It doesn't hurt to have a conversation with your dad. It could be for the best. Let him know how you feel and that you don't like your stepmother trying to take control of you.

Talk to your dad, tell him how you feel.

How old are you? If you're old enough to move out, then move out! Sounds like a crappy family :P

Just deal with it for a few LONG years. Try to spend more time with your friends outside of the home and in safe places (like the mall). When you're home, lock your room door and put your headphones on. Ask your brothers to help you with your chores right after your stepmother asks you to do them. And make sure she hears their responses. Try to do it when both your stepmother and father in your room. When your brothers give you bratty responses, just look at each parent in the eye silently for a few moments (the "See? See the nonsense you put me through?" look) and continue on to your chores. Get some gloves to make them easier and stay healthy and exercise so you don't get tired as easily.

Best of luck!
