Okay seriously. Stop. You have been given all the advice you will get.
What is this, the fifth time? I’m pretty sure there’s a rule about this.

it’s just a name but if you want, whatever state you live as a legel age/considered an adult. go to the town hall, usually 35 dollars and change it to whateva name you want!

That takes money. You have to file in court, then see if anybody opposes to the name change, if somebody does then there will be a legal fight.

Why would your mom want to go throught that expense?

Hey, you can find a way to deal with it! Try to catch a moment with your mom when she’s in not such bad mood as I guess she is usually, with all of that going on! Try to explain her that you are almost all grown up. Tell her that changing your last name would change who you are, who you’ve always been. And that it doesn’t have anything with her, say that you respect her, but that you don’t want someone to rip your personality off… Neither of you can change what has happened in your home, but conversation should help you to prove her that you are not kid anymore, and that everything that has happened made you a stronger person. Don’t judge her or complain. Just try to approach her with some great arguments and mature attitude!

Well said…

Seriously you have been given a lot of good advice so maybe it’s time to stop and listen to some of it????

It’s like you’re waiting for someone to magically make it so your name is permanent.
Newsflash. We can’t do anything like that

you can change your name back when you turn 18. and i hate being alone too, so i can be your friend if you wanna talk to someone.

my parents are divorced too.

You know you idiots who keep telling this kid to stop askin advice are so friggin selfish and ridiculous. I hope when you’re asking for help people treat you in the same manner. He’s a 14yr old kid!!!!! Son, you are who you are and your name does matter, even if your dad was/is a bonehead,. What matters is how you feel and if you want to obviously keep your OWN name that is your right. Your mom cant just change your name, a judge would have to order it and only after asking what you want. Soooooo…keep your name and be proud of yourself, don’t give up!!! You’re worth it! Take good care of your little sister…you both need each other and she needs you more now.take care of each other! good luck kiddo

^actually that’s wrong. His mother can change his name without his permission.

sign my cast you are wrong!!! And try playing nice on the playground

This is America.we do things diff. than you apparently.

No. I know about the law about name changing in America. My cousin wanted to change the name of his child and she didn’t have a choice. It was mostly paperwork, a brief hearing and the child didn’t get to choose. She was against it too.
