I was born in eastern europe and when I was 3, my family and I moved here to the US because of a war outbreak (my mom, sister, and brother). My siblings are 13 years older than I am, so they were about 16 when they came here. They have held on the culture in europe, especially my mom. I feel like an outcast in my family because I've lived in america almost my entire life and therefore have grown up in a different type of culture. Sometimes I don't see eye-to-eye with them on certain things and it's difficult to get along with them. How do I handle the culture they all grew up with while staying true to myself and what I've grown up with?
 
but your missing the point my dear...

it is your culture too, you have unfortunately become americanized here in the US, however, America is a melting pot of everyones culture, because it took my people to make it what it is, seek knowlegde from your family about your culture, or when you get older you will wish you did.. its so important to know where you came from and the history of your family and their family etc...

know who you are, its important...
 
yes that is a tough one but you have knowledge of your mothers home country and you know how to live in america its a little bit of give and take whilst staying true to your american way of life
good luck
