is this normal?
[from the same person who asked the stepdad question]
I'm a good kid, I don't go and get drunk with guys like some girls my age do [they also go to my school], I get good grades, and I do what I'm asked.. it's just, it seems like I'm getting 'meaner' when I'm at my mom's, and I don't want to be mean. I love my mom and my stepdad, but even after a few years, it's still weird to think of him as a stepdad. I know I'm being selfish, but is it normal to be a little rebellious at my age?

It is quite common for teens to rebel. I was a little on the rebellious side as a teen, too.
I would be willing to wager that being in a divided home adds to that rebellion. Feeling stuck in the middle, at times feeling at fault, and addition of step parents can be quite stressful on a kid.
Is there a possibility that you feel some sort of resentment towards your mom and/or step dad? If you do, that doesn't mean you don't love them.
There is something there, whether it be something you realize, or something hidden in your head somewhere, that is causing you to have the attitude you have when at home. You got to try to work out what that something is.
If it is something that can be fixed, do so by whatever means necessary. If it can't be fixed, sometimes you just have to let it go.
You see, being stubborn and rebellious is obviously not creating a happy existence for you, and those around you, right?
Maybe it would help to sit down and talk to your mom, or even your step dad about your feelings on things. They care about you and want you to be happy. Don't get rude or anything, just say "Hey, I have a problem and I need your help" and come out with it.
They can't fix what they don't know is broken.
