OK. I live with my biological father and my stepmother. My dad is really never home because of the fact that he is a truck driver. Ok. In school, if you get advanced and proficient on the Benchmark test you go on a trip. I went this year and last year to Jilllian's in Memphis. Some of you might know that is inside of a mall and they let us walk around. Ok. So last year she gave me no money, then brought me two dollars to the school when I complained. Then this year she only gave me nine dollars. OK. My stepmom's daughter went to the Mid South Fair. She got thirty dollars. And on another occasion she went to a Grizzlies game and got another thirty dollars but when I went to the Orpheum Theater I only got ten dollars. Tonight my stepsister is going to the Orpheum Theater for the Tyler Perry show and her mom already gave her the money, 35 dollars. So what does that look like to you? I told my dad last year and they got to arguing, so now I don't want to let it slide, so what should I do?

P.S. I am a responsible 13 year old and my stepsister is a sly, sneaky FAST 15 year old. I am telling the full truth.

ALSO, she doesn't work AT ALL! My dad is the only one in the household with a job, so please give me some reasonable answers.

Sounds like favortism to me. I know you want to prevent your dad and stepmom from arguing, but really the only thing you can do is talk to your dad about it. I don't think it would be appropriate for you to approach your step mom about this because she won't take you seriously and will just shrug off the whole incident. Talk to your dad and explain to him that you are hurt because your step mom treats you differently than your step sis. Your dad needs to confront your step mom about this because it's not fair to you and I can see why you're bothered by this whole situation. No one wants to be treated unfairly. So bring it up to your dad again and pretty much hope for the best. Good luck to you!

WOW... I don't think that you would refer to that as discrimination. That refers more to races, but that is MAJOR favoritism. You should go ahead and tell you father about it because if she is willing to send to somewhere, I am assuming Jillian's is out of town, with two dollars, this is bogus. Obviously, this woman doe not care about you. What if something happened and you only got two stankin' a** dollars in your pocket. That's bogus. Something like that happening to me, but not quite. My stepmother was being stingy because she didn't want me to have any of her fruit and my dad and her got into and argument just for the simple fact that she was being stingy. I will tell you one thing though, she shared everything from that point on. But then again I can understand why she gives her daughter more money than you. Its because people are more prone to take care of their own kids than someones elses. But still, if she really loved you or your father then she would treat you as her own. No exceptions. Another thing, you should tell pops about these trips or call him or something so he can send you money then you won't have to worry about her nor her daughter. So yeah, go ahead and tell pops,"Hey, this woman that you call your wife, she is really not here for me. She shows favoritism and is extremely in considerate of my feelings and health. (Then tell him some situations)." Well, maybe you should not say it like that, but you get my drift. Tell pops to put her in check; to put the smack down on that heifa. Good Luck : )!

I think your dad is letting step mom call the shots . Ask him to please step up to the plate and make her treat you right because if she does'nt her and her daughter should find another place to live .Tell him that you have had it with her treating you like crap and that if it does not stop ,you will find another place to live like your grandparents maybe. That might be your only other option. Good luck and god bless.

It's simple - you're not her daughter so she really doesn't care about you. Your dad should be giving you money, not your stepmom.
