When I [15/f] get mad I go off, but does that make it right for my step dad to tackle me, and steal my stuff, and break them? I tried to call the cops, they said he had those rights. I can't stand him, so what should I do?

Even at 15 you do have certain rights and if the cops are taking your step-father's side. No parent has the right to physically or mentally abuse you this would include tackling you without good reason. Good reason would be you being out totally of control and him tackling you to calm you.
Why not write me or us back, you can do so in a private message if you would like, with a more complete story of what is going on. There are two sides to every story so to be helpful to you we need to hear more of what is going on then what you wrote. [ adviceman49's advice column | Ask adviceman49 A Question ]
Danicus answered Wednesday May 20 2015, 10:56 pm: Learn to control your temper. If you don't go off, he won't either. Dunno about the stolen and broken stuff tho. Something tells me there's more to this story...
But yeah, you can't just go mouthing off to people with authority. That has consequences. Its eventually gonna be the cops and you'll spend the night in jail if you can't control yourself. Freaking out and throwing tantrums doesn't really work in the real world. As awful as it sounds, you're gonna have to deal with your fair share of people you don't like to be around. Doing things you don't really wanna be doing. Unfortunately, that's something most of us have to deal with on a pretty regular basis. Our daily lives, even. You'll have to become ok with not getting your way in life. Otherwise, you're gonna make life very hard for yourself. [ Danicus's advice column | Ask Danicus A Question ]
