My mom got remarried a few years ago. Now our family consists of my mom, stepfather, stepsister, stepbrother, and me. Basically I have to pay for any of my own 'luxuries', which includes my cell phone, car insurance, clothing, and entertainment.I am a vegetarian so I have to pay for any special vegetarian foods I want to eat. I have a part time job to pay for these things. My issue is that my stepsiblings don't have to pay for any of their own stuff. Sometimes they eat my food, and then I am left with nothing to eat because the rest of the family are meat-eaters (and not exactly health conscious). I understand having to pay for stuff like my cell phone, but it just doesn't seem fair that I'm the only one of the kids that has to do so. I'm still in high school, so I don't get to work that many hours, and often don't have very much money. Am I just being selfish, or is this unfair?
