Tired of Teasing

"I don't have anything that's 'in'."
Dear Juliet,
My Mom and Dad aren't very rich. My clothes don't look as good as my friends' and I don't have anything that's 'in'. People make fun of me. My parents tell to not care what people think and appreciate what I have, and I do, but the teasing is making me self-conscious.
--Tired of Teasing
Dear Tired,
I know things can get pretty tough when you can't buy just anything like your friends can. Have you tried making money yourself? You could try a summer job. Believe it or not, being a parent isn't easy, and neither is making money. Ask your dad if he would like to open you a savings account, that way you can save up your own money. Here's the best alternative: Check out some clothes at secon-hand stores. Crazy, yea, but expensive, no. You can save your mom and dad a lot of money. And don't think second hand things as bad, its really just like trading sweaters with your friends. You will definitely see the difference if you try it.

"It's like I don't exist anymore."
Dear Juliet,
My dad got divorced to my mom, and got married to a horrible lady. I hate living in my house. Not only do I have to deal with an evil stepmother, when she moved in she brought her little 2-year-old daughter with her. All my dad thinks about now is my little "step-sister" and his new wife. It's like i don't Exist anymore. I am so angry at my dad. I can't handle this anymore! What can I do???
--New Family Girl
Dear New Family,
It must be so hard for you. I have a few friends in the same type of situation. First, try making peace with the little 2-year-old. Get to know her, play with her, teach her things. This will help you get a little less angry with everyone else. Babies can do that. :^) And try talking with your dad. Tell him that its hard for you to adapt to this, and you would like a way that your Stepmom would respect you more or be more polite to you. Now, what to do with the stepmom? Well, maybe you haven't given her a chance because of the situation. Maybe just you and her could go shopping one day? Or maybe you could have a one on one with her too. Tell her its hard for you, and you could both make it easier on each other by being friendly. If your dad married her, there must be something good in her. If none of these things appeal to you, there's always the slow, long, tough route of letting time heal it.
