Ok, well I have a "step" sister that has down syndrome and I can't stand it because she scares my friend and is annoying. She can be mean too. I've talk to my dad about her and my dad is engaged to her mom. I'm at the point of telling my dad, to pick me or her. I really need advice please help and thank you in advance (link)

Your friend is operating out of ignorance of what Down Syndrome is and for that matter so are you. How can you dislike her because of behavior related to a condition that you don't like? How do you think she feels to have it or to scare other people just because of it?
And what nerve you've got asking for your father to pick you over her. I don't care what hardships you feel she has caused you but get a grip and realize what crap she faces in a day. Learn to disregard any negatives and find something to love her for.
As for your friend re-introduce her/him to your sister, explain her condition and why she should not feel scared or intimidated. There's a lot this step-sister can teach you about how to live, see the world, others.
There is no way she can ever replace you in your dad's heart but realize the attention she does get is because she requires more care than you do. The sooner you deal with your anger or jealousy the better as resentment only hurts the person displaying it.
