    What things do you get in trouble for? How long has he been your stepfather?

    You'll find many people have different life experiences; that doesn't automatically mean that they can't have a successful relationship. Many times those different experiences turn out to be very beneficial as it gives more than one way to look at things.

    Could it be that maybe you are still working through your father's death and are having difficulty with the idea of this new man seeming to fill that role?

    Rebel chick, do you really know what 'different sides of the track' means ? It sounds like you are repeating something someone told you. It sounds like he had a proper family growing up and because your mom didn't have a dad around has nothing to do with anything. You just do not understand the pecking order in your family dynamics now; you will have to start by sitting down with your mom, talking to her and put your feelings aside if your new farther is making your mom happy and try to get along with your new farther. Looks to me that you are having trouble adjusting and if you really try, everything will work out.

    I agree; it isn't easy when you are young to think about sacrificing some of your own feelings for your mother's sake. Remember, someone has to support you financially until you are out on your own, and who is that going to be? Your mom found someone not just for love but also to provide for YOU. Spend time with your mom alone to remember your dad, and to talk about her feelings just as much as yours. Yes, moms have feelings too, and life is just as unfair for adults as it is for kids. You say she acts like she doesn't care about you anymore... she might be depressed. She might not know how to handle the friction between you and him. Ask her!
    You don't have to love or even like your stepdad, but you do have to respect him. If that means being polite and avoiding confrontation, that's a first step.

    You don't tell her, you talk with her and try to find ways, to work together.

    A new step dad will mean new rules often, and changes in life style. It is something that just happens.

    You are too vague, about what you are getting in trouble over

    But can you tell us specifics as to why you don't like him? Simply stating that you get in trouble and "don't like him" doesn't do much to explain or justify your feelings to make a scene with your mom about him.

    You never said what kind of trouble you were getting in... it is your job as a child to follow the rules your parents set in the house... including step parents.

    Where did you get the idea its your parents job or responsibility to raise YOUR child. Sorry... that's reality. YOU made the choices that resulted in the child. Depending on where you live they might be obligated to raise YOU (until the day you turn 18)... but they are under no obligation to raise your child. And I know few people that would.

    The babies father sounds like a real winner....since he's in jail, and not supporting the child (also due to bad choices HE made). I agree with your step father. He's probably the one paying for everything now. Or at least a good part of it.

    Well, that explains everything! You are a 15 year old child raising a child who's biological father is in prison for raping you!

    Who says you aren't supposed to be doing this alone? Your parents are not obligated to help you in any way with raising your child. You decided to play grown up games so now it's time to take on grown up responsibilities. Your parents are only financially and physically responsible for you, not your child.

    And your our brother was 14 when he fathered a child? That speaks volumes as to your mother's ability to raise her children properly. It sounds as though your step-father is actually standing up and trying to teach you better than you were taught before he came into the picture.

    I'm a little confused because I can't fully understand your grammar, especially as it relates to your 14-year old brother. Still, I understood enough to read that you have a child at 15 and the father is in jail.

    Firstly, it's not anyone's responsibility to help you RAISE YOUR child, even if you are a minor. If you wanted to go out and do grown-up things like having sex, then you are grown up enough to handle the consequences of getting pregnant and raising the child alone. It's not "THEIR" job. By law, the only job your mom has is to keep a roof over "YOUR" head, feed you and ensure you attend school. However, if you walk out/away from any of those perks, that's on you. It's not her JOB to now take on this extra CHILD that you created.

    See, the way motherhood works is like this... YOU CREATE A CHILD, THEN YOU TAKE CARE OF THE CHILD. Unless you give a child up or adoption/foster care, YOU & THE FATHER ALONE are responsible, not your mom/dad/brother/sister/grandmother/etc. Well, since the father is in jail, guess who has the sole responsibility of raising the child? You, dear. You alone. You can't go crying NOW that you don't have a job, money, the means, to care for a child when you clearly behaved in a manner (having sex, getting pregnant) that said you WERE an adult.

    Under the circumstances, sounds like the step-father is trying his best to keep order in the house as best as he can. Why go and ruin the opportunity for your mother to have someone stable around for her and quite frankly you, by BLABBING about your emotional non-sense? If the step-father has EVER hurt you or disrespected you, then ABSOLUTELY run to your mom and speak on it. However, you haven't said ONE THING that justifies your anger towards this man. It sounds like you are angry with yourself for getting yourself in this predicament and lashing out because you can't have your way. Hopefully, you grow up and mature sooner than later... especially for the sake of you and your child.

    Guess what punkin. You can't have your cake and eat it too. You have a child at 15. You are not entitled to have your parents raise your child while you go out and live the high life.

    It it sounds as though your step father is giving you the healthy dose of reality that you deserve.

    Its t's time to stop acting like a spoiled entitled brat and accept the consequences for your actions.

    As far as being uneducated, I am not the one that managed to have a accidental baby at 15, or as an adult for that matter. I have known others that have, and they all share a lot in common... #1 they thought they knew everything, and #2 They didn't want to listen to anyone's advice before it was too late.

    Sorry, this is real life... people DO and always will judge you based on what they see and hear particularly their first impression, The real world is not like High school. And you are proving those initial impressions to be correct.

    All of us have been 15, most of us are either old enough to have 15 year old children, or 15 year old Grandchildren and in some cases 15 year old Great grandchildren. Meaning we've seen and heard it all before...
