sibling rivalry
It really sucks how much my parents love my sister more. They buy her everything, they do everything for her and give her credit for...everything. If we both get 4.0's, my parents will look at me and say...you should work harder, but they can look at my sister and say "Good Job!" My sister has so many clothes that she doesn't never even worn half of what she owns, while I sometimes have to wear the same shirt or pants twice/three times a week. Today, my mom, dad, and sister said they were "Just going out" and would be home soon....3 hourd later I call and where are they? They're at the mall, buying clothes for her and getting her new furniture in her room while I'm doing nothing and being bored. I've tried talking to them about it, but they always say the same thing---we love you guys the same, we treat you guys the same, etc....but how come she gets everything while I'm always left behind?
She's 13 and I'm 14.
What to do?

I think that because she is the "baby" of the family, they give her more attention without realizing it. Talk to your sister and try to explain your situation, hopefully she will be mature about it and see what you are saying is true. Then, have another talk with your parents, maybe with her there, they will finally realize exactly what you are saying. For all you know, they may feel completely awful about it and get you lots of stuff!..lol
I hope things even out...

Since you are the oldest they treat you more like an adult than they do your sister. Your parents probably feel they were too strict on you and want to go easier with your sister because of that, but they dont see that they are going +too+ easy on her.
I think you should try to talk to your parents again...but if that doesn't work try to let them SEE what they are doing
Hope you understood what I meant to say heh
Well I hope things go better for you =)

Well, the same thing happened when I was born for my older brother. They started to give me more attention, but as we got older, it evened out. Now, I don't really see why it didn't even out for you, although our parents are different in many ways. I guess you should just talk to your sister, and then talk to them with her present, and if they asked her opinion, then she says what you say, and they'll listen. I'm sorry you're not getting enough attention like you should be. The older ones are always getting left out.

A lot of times I feel the same way about my sisters. What you need to do is to talk to your sister about this. Since she is younger than you, and probably looks up to you even if you don't know it. You need to get he to understand where you are coming from. Then you should talk to your parents again, and bring her along. Get her to tell your parents that you are telling the truth. Since they love her so much, they will listen to what she says, which is what you are saying. Then they will understand where you and her are coming from.
Good Luck! Hope this helps!
