Is your mom open about this? If so, talk to her. If not, talk to your school's counselor or another trusted adult and tell them that you wish to meet your dad's family. It's perfectly normal and understandable that you have the need to meet people who you are after all blood related to. Don't try to go alone without telling anyone, as that would be running away, which I believe is illegal.

My oldest daughter's biological father lives in a different country and we haven't spoken to each other since I was 19. I am now 30 years old. I let my daughter use my maiden name in her birth certificate but have indicated there who her real dad is. I've been married for 8 years now and my husband has been great to my oldest daughter. My dilema right now is should my husband legaly adopt my daughter so she could have his last name. My daughter sometimes says she is the only one in the family that has a different last name and that she doesn't look like her brother and sister. She already knows that her father is different from her brother and sister and I told her that it is not important that she uses a different name but what's important is how much her dad and her siblings loves her very much. I just wanted to get opinion if it would matter if she changes her last name or not. (link)

Talk to her. Does she want to change the name? Is it important to her? If it's important to her and will make her feel better and your husband is willing to do this for your daughter, go ahead.

IF you don't like him, don't go out with him but don't lead him on or give him any ideas. Tell him straight up that he's not what you're looking for and he's not someone that you see yourself with. Be honest, while trying not to be mean.

A good girlfriend of mine from college killed herself on Saturday after a fight she had with her fiance. She was never the kind of girl I would have ever guess to do this sort of thing. So when she called me that night I wasn't in the mood to go party (my boyfriend and I had had a huge fight)I ignored her call and turned off my phone. She called me four times, that night. Monday morning she was found dead. The police called me Monday afternoon, it is thier policy to investigate each death to be sure it is a suicide. They said that my number was the last one on her phone as a listed call.
I am devistated. I cannot face anyone. I resent my boyfriend because of his picking a stupid fight. I feel as though I really screwed up. I was not their for her and she reached out to me.
But my question is why me? Her and I were good friends in college but we had lost touch since she had been engaged we talked maybe every couple of weeks and only briefly. We're always saying that we needed to make plans but it never happened. She was always close to her mom and I am sure she had better friends than me, I know her best firend lived far away. But Mellisa was the kind of girl who always had tons of friends. Why out of all the people she could have called would she call me? I am always going to carry around this responsible feeling and it really is bringing me down. I just feel so powerless.

Sorry for your loss. What happened wasnt your fault at all. SHE decided to kill herself because SHE felt that SHE couldn't go on living life, not because you didn't answer the phone. Don't beat yourself up over this.
