I would tell them that I love my life the way it is and no one can change it.

It will be hard but simply ignore them. They are unhappy themselves and trying to bring you down. Your parents are probably kidding and trying to make your sister feel better about her life and lack of friends, etc and they probably don't realize how much it truly does hurt you. Didn't they ever tell you that you could have anything and be anything in life? Next time they say something like you have to be brought down simply say, "I'm sorry you see it that way but I would rather believe that I deserve the happiness I find with my friends/boyfriend and would appreicate it if you would respect my happiness" and leave the room. That to me is not disrespectful and I wouldn't punish one of my children for saying it like that. However, I do not make my children feel as if they should be brought down and wonder about people who see the need to bring one child down in order to make another child feel better about a choice they made. Your sister has made the choice to be who she is and the lifestyle she is living and that is her CHOICE. No one ever said she couldn't have the things you have---it's probably just easier to blame her issues on you. Just remember---EVERYONE deserves to be happy and so long as your happiness isn't at your sister's expense--you shouldn't apologize or feel undeserving of what you have or your good fortune.
