I need some opinions on my friends family!
I need some opinions!
Okay so I have this friend, Chloe.
She has a little sister and an older brother. She's 15. Her brother is 16 and her sister is 11
Then she has 2 half brothers and one step brother.
I'm actually confused of her family tree
People think it's really crazy and not normal cause her dad got married twice apparently.
And now her mum and her dad are living together while her dads ex wife is living with her boyfriend that she has..
She's really upset cause people bully her cause of this!
What do you guys say?

So i'm guessing you live in a pretty conservative place right? Thats the only reason I could imagine as to why you would be bullied over such a stupid thing. Tell your friend that time will go on and the other kids will grow and realize their families aren't perfect either. No ones family is perfect! Everyone has problems just some people are a little more obvious about theirs.
I was bullied when i was a kid because i came from a single parent home. My dad wasn't around and I was living in a very rich Mormon area in Utah. I was a poor girl from a non religious single parent home. I was tortured and told i was going to hell all the time! Then I went to middle school and I was with a bunch of kids that didn't come from rich families which made it better. Then things started happening and all the "Perfect family," children ended up not having such perfect families. There was a boy named Jeff that had teased me about my family my whole life. He stopped when we turned 13 and his mom got caught having an affair and his parents got divorced. Another boy that teased me stopped when his sister got pregnant at 15 years old.
So bottom line tell your friend there is no such thing as a perfect family and IT GETS BETTER! Some day all the mean kids that are teasing her now will learn about life and stop being rude little bigots.

I really don't see why she'd get bullied over this.
Ok let me see if I got it right..
She has two biological siblings. An older brother and little sister? Then two half brothers and one step brother. Her dad was married twice and now he's living with her mom again? Then her dads ex is living with her boyfriend?
If I'm understanding this correctly, it doesn't really seem abnormal.
Is the ex living with her family or something?
Well either way, she shouldn't be bullied no matter what her family circumstances are. I've known a guy who had a really weird family background. His mom and dad split up, and his dad got with his ex wife's mom. So now this guys grandma, is now his step mom.
You can't change your family. You can't pick your family, they're just given to you. She needs to find someone to talk to who can help her with the bullying. No one deserves to get bullied so try to get her some help in that area and be supportive.

first of all, bullying is not tolerated these days and the school officials will want to know to handle it. Have her talk to the counselors.
These days, coming from families with marriages that split up and get re married is quite common.
Why would they tease about that? Are you telling me that not one other kid in the school has the same situation? Should be about half of them come from the same situation. Divorce is very common today.
Somehow they have managed to keep it secret and unfortunately treat your friend like she is an alien.
SHe should talk to the parents and counselors to let them know and see what they can do.
