The Trouble with Angels (1966)
IMDB rating: 7.20
Plot: Orphaned Mary Clancy is sent by her wealthy Uncle George to St. Francis Academy, a Catholic girls boarding school and convent. He has sent her there to straighten her out as she is rebellious (among other things, she is a heavy smoker), and is always carrying out her dubious but “scathingly brilliant ideas”. At St. Francis, she meets fellow student Rachel Devery, recently transferred from New Trends Progressive School. Rachel is a follower, Mary her leader. The two continually lead other students astray, especially Mary’s cousin, her Uncle George’s daughter, Marvel-Ann. They also butt heads with the school’s equally strong willed Mother Superior. Mary and Rachel’s antics bring them close to the verge of expulsion, but the Mother Superior feels she needs to be part of Mary’s salvation as Mary’s primary alternative, living with her womanizing Uncle George, is not even an option in the Mother Superior’s view. Ultimately, Mary’s inner curiosity and keen observances of life around her, supported unwittingly by the Mother Superior and the other Sisters, bring her to a turning point in her view of life at St. Francis, one at odds with her best friend.

tell your mom how you’re feeling, trying to use revenge will only make things worse

I hate it when grownups break up families and recombine into stepfamilies; it’s hell for the kids.
If you get back at them for their obnoxious behavior, they will only get worse. You are dealing with adults here, and they have the power.
Do you want to spend more time with your dad? Well, first of all, make sure your dad knows it.
The most important thing for you to remember is not to let anybody ruin your life. If you are having a bad time now, concentrate on getting ready for the future.
Concentrate on having a good school experience. If you’re mad at your family, don’t take it out on the teachers or classmates. Some of them might be pretty nice. At least with the teachers, you usually know what you have to do to get on their good side. And if you do well in school, you will feel better about yourself.
When you grow up, remember what it was like to be a kid, and do your best to make a stable life for your own kids.
And oh yeah, you can move out when you are 18 if you want to.
The First Dragon | Jan 31, 2010
Being the parent of another persons child is very hard. Your mom is struggling, and your getting the short end of the stick. This does really suck, but I want you to think about it from where you mother is. It is easier to expect better from you, than from a child she didn’t raise. You know your mom, she knows you. The dad and brother are unknowns and she is not comfortable holding your step-brother to the same high standards.
I suggest you have a frank open and quiet conversation with your mother. Tell her of your issue, and ask how you can respond to it. You have to be adult as you can about this, no yelling, no crying, just ask the question and really think about the answer you get.
I am sure you want your home life to be happy and content. Make that your goal, how can you make it better? Maybe asking you to do chores together is too much. Ask if you can do the dishes by yourself one night, and he the next night?
Being in a split family is very difficult. But you don’t really get to make any choices at this point. So you need to learn to work within the confines of your current situation.
I also think it is a great sin to talk bad about the parent that is not in the household. He is your father. Your mother choose to have a relationship and a child with that man, to talk bad about him now says that your mother was foolish and made a bad choice in the man she choose. Talking bad about your father is not appropriate, and the only person who can stop that is your mother. You should express that you feel this is not good for you, and your step father should not be providing any input about your father.
In the end, when you grow up you will have to decide. Is your dad a good guy or a bad guy? Do you want a relationship with him or not? You don’t have to have one, you don’t have to have one with your mom and step dad. You can choose to leave them behind and never contact them again. That will be your right as an adult. Until then, you have to understand that first this is transient, it will end. Second, parents do things, even really horribly bad things, out of love. It can be twisted into something else, from stress of work or marriage or problems, but they do really deep down love you.
Try to find a solution to the issue with your step-brother. Remember it will be over someday. And at some point you will wish you were in a place where your parents took care of you and loved you enough to yell at you for fighting with your step brother. Your step-brother has feelings too, maybe you should try to be his brother, friend. Find a way to connect to him, so that you can be a family together.
