I’m a 19 year old boy from INDIA, and I have a younger brother of 13 year old.
I was a slow learner in school and a I Stammer while speaking,
My mom never cooks food which I like the most, and instead she cooks food according to my younger brother’s choice.
I really don’t get any respect in my house.
I’m really very shy to go out in public because I don’t have good dresses to wear, but my brother gets all the good dress to wear.
And my mom keeps comparing me with other boys of my age..
Please help me..

I had an older sister who gets the better aspects of life. Your mother loves you but favoritism is something plausible in families. Your 19 so live your life. Your mother is never going to appreciate what an amazing son she had and you know what forget her!!! Trying to get her appreciation will never make you a better person. Don;t become desperate that you end up hating your little brother just because of her.
You need to realize that you are human. Stuttering is human and so are you. Someone is going to love that in the end and your mother is going to be the same person. Your brother is young so please take it easy on him because after all he is just a kid.
I know your mother is important to you but you know what you will find that special someone and become the best parent in the future. You wont let this happen t your son or daughters and that is called breaking the cycle my friend.
When i say say cycle, i might suspect that your mom does this for family reason. She might have faced this when she was little so forget her and her problems. She already did her job in the way. Take this as a positive outcome or the silver lining. You my dear friend will never be like someone in this world so just be you.... the one that stammers and learns differently. Work hard and achieve your dreams because in the end you will find your path to what your gates leads to.

Dont let anything get in your way
P.S. dont compare yourself to anyone because you will end up feeling bad and that is not what you need. As for clothes.....find a way to get good ones. [ lifescomplicated's advice column | Ask lifescomplicated A Question ]

Try talking to your mother in private. Tell her how much it hurts you. Tell her that you love her very much but wish sometimes she would treat you better.
Communication is key. It solves a lot of miscommunications and problems.
