With your friends, you can totally change that. Stand up for yourself. When they try to boss you around, like if they tell you to get something for them, tell them to do it themselves. It sounds mean but it isn't because they shouldn't be pushing you around. It'll take practice, but you need to learn to stand up for yourself or later on in life people will be able to just walk all over you. That's practically already happening with some of your friends.
With your family, I'm in the same situation. I'm one of the youngest in my extended family and no one ever listens to when the younger ones have to say. Adults won't take you seriously unless you are also an adult, just a rule of life. And older family members that aren't adults think they're too good to listen to you. Would you listen to a 10-year-old? Maybe, Maybe not but I bet you wouldn't take them seriously.
When you have something important to say, get everyone's attention before you say it so you know they hear you. I know, easier said than done.

i say you stand up for yourself.. don't let them bring you down... you have to work up your confidence.

If you are the baby of your family, it may be the reason why your ideas are being overlooked and not taken seriously. Tell your family that you are not a baby and that sometimes you too have good ideas, and that you can be of some help whether they want to believe it or not.
Do not let your friends boss you around. I have had friends who were extremely bossy...and I have told them that they have no right to boss me around, my own mother who can boss me around doesn't do it, so I don't see why you should. Just let your friends know, that you're not a pushover and by bossing you around, they are disrespecting you and they should treat you with the same respect you treat them.
I hope you are taken more seriously.
