Born to the [[Vulcan (Star Trek)|Vulcan]] [[Sarek]] ([[Mark Lenard]]) and the human [[Amanda Grayson]] ([[Jane Wyatt]]), Spock's backstory has been addressed during several episodes of ''[[Star Trek: The Original Series]]'', the 2009 film ''[[Star Trek (2009 film)|Star Trek]]'' and the ''[[Star Trek: The Animated Series]]'' episode, ''[[Yesteryear (Star Trek: The Animated Series)|Yesteryear]]''. His mixed heritage led to a troubled childhood; full-blooded Vulcan children repeatedly bullied him on their home world to incite the emotions of his human nature.<ref name=st2009>{{cite AV media | last1=Orci|first1=Roberto|last2=Kurtzman|first2=Alex|last3=Abrams|first3=J.J.| date=April 7, 2009 | title=Star Trek | medium=Motion picture| publisher=Paramount Pictures}}</ref><ref name="newmoviefits">{{cite web|last1=Pascale|first1=Anthony|title=EXCLUSIVE: Bob Orci Explains How The New Star Trek Movie Fits With Trek Canon (and Real Science)|url=http://trekmovie.com/2008/12/11/bob-orci-explains-how-the-new-star-trek-movie-fits-with-trek-canon-and-real-science/|publisher=TrekMovie.com|access-date=August 17, 2016|date=December 11, 2008|archive-date=March 30, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150330153411/http://trekmovie.com/2008/12/11/bob-orci-explains-how-the-new-star-trek-movie-fits-with-trek-canon-and-real-science/|url-status=live}}</ref> For a time, he grew up alongside his older half-brother Sybok, until the older brother was cast out for rejecting logic.<ref name=stV>{{cite AV media | last1=Loughery|first1=David|last2=Shatner|first2=William|last3=Bennett|first3=Harve | date=June 9, 1989 | title=Star Trek V: The Final Frontier | medium=Motion picture| publisher=Paramount Pictures}}</ref> In ''[[Star Trek: Discovery]]'', it is revealed that Spock has a human, adopted sister, Michael Burnham.

Sarek supported Spock's scientific learning and application to the Vulcan Science Academy, as mentioned in "[[Journey to Babel]]".<ref name=journey2babel>{{Cite episode |title=Journey to Babel |series=Star Trek: The Original Series |first=D.C.|last=Fontana |network=NBC |date=November 17, 1967 |season=2 |number=10 }}</ref> In the 2009 film ''Star Trek'', Spock rejects his acceptance into the Vulcan Science Academy on the basis that they would never fully accept someone who was only half-Vulcan. Although this film set the Kelvin timeline scene in this and later films, writer [[Roberto Orci]] stated that he felt that the actions were unaffected by the changes in this timeline and so would have occurred in the same manner prior to ''The Original Series''.<ref name=st2009/><ref name="newmoviefits"/> Because Spock did not enter the VSA and sought to join [[Starfleet]] instead, he did not speak to his father for the following 18 years.<ref name=journey2babel/>
