Not Good Enough.
I'd like to first start off by saying I love my family. I truly do, yet I feel as if I need help sorting out the problems and stress they constantly place on my shoulders. I grew up in a fairly large family with seven brothers and two sisters. As of right now, the only sibling living at home is my younger brother, and I'm always being compared to him; through my grades, my lifestyle, my friends. No matter what I do, or how hard I work, it's never good enough. My family is continuously degrading me, saying I can do much better, making me feel as if I'm not good enough for their praise. My brother brings home test results of, say, 10/20, and he gets credited. Is there any way to make them realise that I'm trying?

YES. I have that problem too. He got C's all last year in FREKKIN READING (he was in 2nd grade). But apprently it was ok...
The way I fixed it is I sat my parents down, and pretty much said what you said. But if your parents are anything like mine you will need lots to back that up. Parents hate being told they arent doing something right in the parenting department especially by their kids.
Hope it Helps!

yes tri making them notice that you are trying harder than you do do. do this bring home a F and show it to them, then bring home a A and they will notice the difference.

Just tell your family straight out that you can't stand being compared to anyone. Let them know that your different and your just being yourself. Let your family know that it makes you mad because they keep degrading you. You dont have to show your family that your trying they should know that you are already. If they say anything like you can do better then say I know I could have done better but its okay there is always next time. Dont worry this happens to everyone and I know how you feel and I alway tell my family how I feel about it. Hope this helps!
