we get along fine but i see the way she treats her dad (my step dad) and it really bothers me. she is like 16 and she is a total ***** to him. she walks all over him. i know she is going through a lot but thats no excuse for her to treat him like that. i don't know what to do. i just want us all to get along. what should i do? should i talk to her and say what? or should i not even get involved?

How important is it?
Is it your business or his?
Who's relationship is it affecting?
Is it affecting you directly?
Do you have to live with her?
I would not say anything to my parent about the way the other siblings treated them. Step or otherwise.
If you choose to talk to your step-sister you say she's a b,
and you most likely will give your power away by calling her out, and telling her off.
The best revenge is LIVING A GREAT LIFE!
Have a great relationship with your dad, and don't involve her.
Let it go!

If I were in that situation, and saw my step-sister behaving that way, I would come right out and say "Sister, that's just rude!" and leave it at that. If she asks what you meant by that statement, just explain to her that you feel what she is doing or saying is rather disrespectful. She may not appreciate your getting involved, but you can feel comfortable that you had your say, and if your step-sister does not change, it is no longer your concern. Your parents, whether biological, step, or adoptive, deserve respect. Set the good example. It really is up to the parent to disipline their children, and if they don't, then the problem is just as much on your parent as your sibling. But I would not get too involved in their relationship, it would just make for more tension with everyone involved.

Getting involved will cause a lot of tension between the two of you for a while but eventually she will see that her behavior is completely unacceptable and that you were there to show her the right way to treat her father.

i would nicely ask her why she treated him that way you never know she could hold it against him for leaveing his first marriage
that way you are not judging her and you get to hear her side of the story and then i would ask the step dad why he thinks she acts like that and if he says something different let him know what you know , because maybe he dont know what the problem is his self and dont know what to do about it either , maybe she will open up to you where she wont open up to him

I think that you should let her know how you feel and if she doesn't like it to bad. You should also talk to your stepdad about the way she treats him, ask him why she lets her treat him like that. I don't think that is normall for a daugther to treat her dad like that, tha's just wrong.

doll first off teenage girls do that a lot... its rude but thats their mindset... if you believe that you buddying up to her and saying something will help then go ahead, but it may just cause an arguement between the two of you and not be much help at all... i feel for you i know what its like... whatever happens good luck = )

Well, it's affecting the way your family relates to each other so you should get involved. You may want to talk to your stepdad to see how he feels about it.
Maybe talk to your mom and see if she can help you to set up a family meeting so everyone can discuss it.
