Hi, I’m Kristen, 17, and this is my not-so-glamorous tale. My late mom set up a college fund for me, which Dad and I added to with my tutoring and babysitting money. Then came Tracy — my stepmom, obsessed with looks and selfies.

One day, she announced she was getting veneers — paid for by borrowing $5,000 from my college fund. When I confronted her, she shrugged it off like it was no big deal. Dad didn’t agree either, but nothing changed… at first.

Tracy strutted around flashing her fake Hollywood smile — until one day, crack! One of her bargain-basement veneers shattered on a corn cob at a BBQ, leaving her with a huge gap and a mouthful of regret.

Karma hit hard. The fix was expensive, and Dad finally put his foot down: Tracy had to pay back every cent she took from my future.

Now, Tracy’s hiding from the neighborhood with her broken smile, and Dad’s rebuilding my fund. As for me? I’m left with the best lesson ever: some things, like respect and trust, can’t be bought — but karma sure can bite back.
