If someone wants a kid, but they don't really want a girl, should they just not have a kid at all?

It makes me angry that you are expected to pretend this situation is normal. It guess these days, we're supposed to believe that "families come in all shapes and sizes, blablabla, anything goes" but I don't think teenagers should be popping out babies. It's bad for everyone, especially the babies!

Honestly, you sound like the only normal person in the household, and I wish I could adopt you. A 15-year-old deserves their own room, time with their parents, and should be able to have friends visit and sleep over. Shame on your bio parent for raising you in this mayhem!

My advice to you is to bide your time. In three years, go away to college. Don't let anyone tell you that you can't afford it--the poorer you are, the more financial aid you will get.

That's when your normal, fun, and wonderful life will begin! You can make something of yourself and escape this situation. Get a guidance counselor or teacher to help you apply, fill out forms, etc. I know three years sounds like forever when you're 15, but try to look at this as a learning situation.

You're learning how you DON'T want to live! Hang in there--I'm counting on you to overcome this!

You have three choices. First. You biological father, explore if posible.

. Second . Talk "solid" seriously with your mom.

,it is you or your stepfather. (State that she is only a sexual slave and and a housekeeper for free. ,and your are at risk to be rape in that house.

(With higher pick of risk on the pos-PMS days. Specially that you have not friends alowed) be careful . Third.

You said you have a job. . You could make arrangements to be independent .

If room is expensive you could have a room maid. There should.be a young female looking for roommates ,check that in your place of work. Government can help.

Plus child support.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
