trust me on this one sweety, do your best and ignore him, I never tried in school, got the worst grades but some howmade it to the 8th grade before I decided that I was not getting anything out of it, my parents didn't care we were always moving anyway so at 14 I dropped out of school, now I wish to god I had stayed in there, and finished high school, if your step father did this, perhaps he had a reason? look at it this way would you rather have someone who cares about you and gives you rules to live by? or would you rather have a parent who did not care and even bought you drugs if you wanted them, just because it would shut you up so they could get drunk? I know it is tough being so close to graduating and havng something you bought with your own money taken away, my husband has become a father to me for awhile because i never learned to be an adult, by this I mean schooling, work and the dreaded house cleaning he has had to teach me, I finaly got my GED but it is not worth much with out the school life to back it up, so te moral of the story?...do your best and if he did throw them out, charge him in family court!!...just kidding, calmly explain how you feel about it to him and your mother, and that you feel since it was your own money that they should at least buy you new ones to replace it, if this does not work, be the bigger man and forget it, games and money should not come before family and learning,......................................why do I sound like an adult when I say this?????? uggg I AM GETTING OLD!!!!!!!
