love-struckxo agony auntI'm sorry to hear about the loss of your mom. Its possible you are jealous because your step sister has a mother, and you have no biological parents around. Since your step sister is your step dads biological daughter may be the reason why he pays more attention to her.

I'm not saying this is right at all though. Your step father should step in and make sure all your needs are nurtured. Losing a parent isn't easy, especially at a young age.

I would suggest seeking therapy. Do you have any grandparents you could visit? or a best friend to help you through it?

Please talk to your step father about the way you are feeling. If you don't feel you can say it - write him a letter and leave it on his bed.

You will be in my prayers.

Good luck

Baby girl it sounds to me like you are jealous of your step sister because she has a mom at least parttime i would think why isnt she with her mother instead of father. You need to talk to someone at school to deal with your issues there are places that can help you without you needing to go through your step dad I am sorry you seem so unhappy and have apparently taken on the mother duties of the house GOD BLESS YOU AND I WISH YOU WELL GET SOMEONE OUTSIDE THE HOME TO HELP YOU WHAT YOU ARE FEELING IS NORMAL FOR SOMEONE YOUR AGE WITH THIS BIG A LOSS IN THERE LIFE. Dont take your anger out on your step sister try to encourage her to help you that way you can be there for each other GOOD LUCK BABY GIRL ...

Hey bud, I honestly can't say I've been in a situation like you're in. I'm sorry to hear that they aren't showing you the caring that you need, it's just kind of wrong. Do you make a lot of problems for your step dad? Like staying out late, causing trouble, anything like that?

If possible, find some friends that can help you get your mind off the bad things. Find people can can help you think positive about your life. Maybe even talk to some girls and see if anything sparks between you guys. Having close friends or a girlfriend that cares for you will always make things better.

Just make sure you both care about each other, don't become friends because you want to use them. I know I might not make sense, but hopefully you can kind of see what I'm trying to explain.

I wish you luck.
