I have a traditional family. you know, brothers sisters, a mom and a dad. but I feel like they don't care about me. don't get me wrong, my friends and teachers and church leaders think I'm amazing. They love me so much, and they never ask me to be what I'm not, but none of the people that I think should love me do. my sister is 3 and she's always telling me I'm a bitch and she hates me (I'm not lying), I'm 5'4 and 115 pounds and my brother keeps telling me I'm fat, my mother is always trying to make me dress in trendy clothes that I hate and telling my I'm weird because I'd rather be myself thatn what anyone else wants me to be, and my dad ignores me completely. I was suicidal for a long time and they never even noticed. I know they aren't right about me not being worth their time because how can everyone else in the world be wrong, but how do I deal with the people who are supposed to love me unconditionally seeming to not care at all?

if you really even want to..tell your parents how you feel.do it in a way that they realize that you are upset and that you feel that way.. im not saying to runaway or something..cause that just causes trouble. but if something happens and it sets you off.let your feelings out and let them know.
just ignore your brother.hes just a boy.. and youre not fat cause thats average for a person your height.dont worry about him
but like i said before just talk to someone. anyone. a friend,teacher,counsellor,therapist, someone at your church,even just talk to god. let SOMEONE know how youre feeling. [ kayybabyx3's advice column | Ask kayybabyx3 A Question ]

hco_babe answered Sunday May 20 2007, 5:35 pm: what you need to do is talk with a school counselor or teacher or anyone who can let you know you are loved. spend time with good friends and other people who you can be yourself around. i think the best thing would be to tell either your mom or dad how you feel and how frustrated you are, and maybe they can talk with you about it or take you to someone who you can talk to. bottling up all those feelings inside isnt good. its much better to get it out in the open. calmly tell your parents how you feel. i know this is going to be really really hard for you probably and you may not want to do it, but once you get things out in the open i think you will feel much better. im here for you if you ever need someone to talk to. =] things will get better soon.
