What else do you think you should be doing? For Pete's sakes, you go to school, and then you have to clean and babysit!! Don't you think that is enough? Babysittiing can be very tiring -- I don't know the ages of the kids, but it's a lot of responsibility.
Don't compare yourself to your step-dad. You are not HIM. You are completely different - your make-up is different. Who cares what your step-dad does? Growing up is tiring in itself!! Your body is making changes that affects everything.
I do agree that you might want to get a checkup to see if your thyroid is on the fritz, or perhaps some other ailment -- it couldn't hurt. And as far as "mooching" off your parents -- what is a kid SUPPOSED to do -- pay food & rent while they're growing up??? C'mon now, lets get real here. I think you're pulling your own weight. Don't be so hard on yourself. You are NOT stupid - you're a well-spoken young person . You need to talk to a therapist -- do you have one? Can you speak to your counselor at school? You really need to talk to someone who can help. You're just too hard on yourself. You are right where you are supposed to be at your age. Give yourself a break! Hugs, Lee
