Ok. First, my sister is graduating this year. Second, im getting ignored a lot lately. Its been really bugging me and i cant stand it. All my parents talk about is my sister and how shes growing up. Im not jelous but it would be nice for my family to acknowledge me once and awhile. I love my sister and im gonna miss her when she goes to college but shes not the only one on the planet right now... should i talk to my sister and parents about it or what??? UGH!

This is an important time of her life for her AND your parents and if you cant see into that enough then you should reconsider. After she graduates you'll have all the attention to yourself, so chill. I dont mean to be offensive, but really, you'll understand. [ xxKillerQueen's advice column | Ask xxKillerQueen A Question ]

sdog1205 answered Wednesday May 11 2005, 8:02 pm: First it's not your sisters fault so don't be mad at her, but you should talk to her about how you've been feeling lately. Tell her that you are going to miss her and you love her and also tell her that lately you've been feeling ignored and that it's getting to you. She can probably help encourage your parents to pay more attention to you. You should also talk to your parents. Tell them that you understand why they are spending soo much time with her and why they are always talking about her. Then tell them how you've been feeling ignored and how you would like it if they would start to pay a little morea attention to you. Hopefully they will understand where you're coming from and talk to you about it then they will start to pay more attention to you.
xdesireex0 answered Wednesday May 11 2005, 7:56 pm: I think it all depends on your family relationship. If you have a good one then go ahead and tell them how you feel. They probably don't even realize that they are doing this and once you tell them they will try to stop. They are only acting this way because they are excited and surprised on how much she has grown. It's not like they are doing it on purpose. Hope I helped!!

vbkilla answered Wednesday May 11 2005, 7:47 pm: I think that right now you just need to let your sister and your parents have their time. I know its hard, i'm the youngest of 5 and i've had to go through just what you are many times. your parents are just realizing that for the first time their "little girl" is going to leave them and go out on her own for the first time. Its hard on parents. but trust me it'll get better once they've gotten over the fact that she's on her own now, they'll put all their time and attention into you. If i were you i would take full agvantage of the fact that they're not paying a whole lot of attention to you right now. it could work for you!
hope i could help!

If i were you i would be happy for your sister and try and spend as much time with her as possible before she leaves. Hope i helped!
IM me if u need more help...
