everything I do seem’s to be over looked, by something that my brothers do. Im 13, and my 2 brothers are 16 and 21 and anything that i do is never good enough, or my parents just prefer them over me. When my oldest brother was in band, they had a trip making us go out of state (when he was in middle school) so it was a really long trip, since our state is REALLY big (Texas). I had an orchestra trip, that was only in galveston, and my parents said that it was " To long" after we had spent like a week out of state for my brother. And my other brother, Everything that he does is better then me, and more important than me. At his school, his first ROTC competition of the year is always on my birthday, and my parents make me "celebrate" the next day, which isnt much, we just go to the store and get me a 10 dollar gift, yet when i had UIL for orchestra on my brothers birthday, my parents didn’t even let me go, and we ended up having a 300 dollar meal at a fancy restaurant, and he got a 50 dollar webcam. Even when i got a solo, only my mom came to my concert, but when my brother had an ROTC comp. that he wasn’t even perticipating in, I was FORCED to go.and lastly, My brother’s have been doing EVERYTHING that they wanted, ALL summer long, the only thing i’ve done the entire summer is go to the movies once. both of my brothers have spent over 300 bucks this summer, i’ve spent 10. Even when i have school event’s, they make me look bad by comparing me to my brothers. I come in 3rd place in a spelling bee, my parents complain about " if you would have listened to your brother". I decide to be in orchestra, and my parents think that i dont wanna be in band because im not good. I am in my school’s highest orchestra (Chamber) but they still don’t care. I play football at my school, and they think i suck because im A team 2nd string center, when my brother was 1st string quarter back. Heck, my school is WWWAAY over capacity, most people aren’t even on A team, but they don’t give a crap.
copy this and give each parent and each brother a copy. ask them to write you a note saying how they feel about what you have said. if they agree that any of this is the case; ask what changes can be made to accommodate you as part of the family.
If they do not agree, ask to see a family counselor. This situation needs to be dealt with Now, not later.
