[QUOTE=Rafterx22;20262145]your especially screwed when the youngest happens to be the girl, and your dad worships the ground she walks on[/QUOTE]
That's the situation I'm in. When I do something wrong, even if it's accidentally, my Dad will yell at me and I'll be in the shithouse for the rest of the day. My sister does something bad, and they'll be all friendly again within 10 minutes.
Maybe they don't like how you turned out and are trying things differently this time.
Naw I'm just kidding. My sister is treated similarly to how I was when I was her age.
Being the middle child is the worst.
The parents care about the youngest because he's the last one, he's kinda like if they did bad in parenting you, they're gonna do a better try at him, also he's the last one to move out the house, and he is gonna be your moms/dads friend for another 11 years so.
Maybe your parents think he's retarded and think there's no hope for him so they just let him do what ever he wants.
But they think there is still hope for you?

Join the club, my sister has it so much better than me :frown:
It's a sign that they love you more.
This is the advantage of being raised an only child: No bullshit favoritism.
Not that I could see. For all I know my half-siblings could have been treated much better/worse, but they moved out before I got too far into elementary school.
I hear my half-brother gave my parents a lot of grief, though, so comparitively I must have been much easier to deal with.
[QUOTE=EvilZx;20264967]I've been telling my parents not to get it, but of course, they did. I've stopped him from playing a couple of times to do his school work, and he just continues to cry. I think he deserved what I did.[/QUOTE]
Stop telling your parents how to raise their own child, you probably piss them off to no end with your complaints and helpful 'tips' and stop actually taking out action on your little brother yourself like stopping him from playing. You might think you know what you're doing or that you're in the right but you're just aggravating both your parents and sibling.
Stop thinking of your brother as the 'favourite' and start thinking of him as your little brother instead, I'm the eldest sibling and I've always been treated 'worse' than my younger siblings in the sense that they get more attention and treats than myself but it doesn't really bother me because I know I don't need any extra attention. I make sure to treat them in a proper manner rather than taking out my frustrations on them.
Sometimes they act like little bitches, I've convinced them over the years that this is an embarassing manner in which to act and that they should grow up. I did so not by screaming at them, berating them or punishing them but by talking to them.
It takes a while but soon enough they build up a level of respect for you.

Your parents don't see you as a mature figure because you're bitching all the time about petty little things which don't concern you like your brother playing on his DS. Your little brother doesn't see you as a role model because all you do is bitch to him about everything he does which is 'wrong' no matter how minor.
[editline]15:10[/editline]
Building up that respect and becoming a role model for your siblings is definitely worth it. You don't know how good it feels to overhear a comment like "I wish I could be more like my older brother, he's always getting really good grades and he's really nice".
[QUOTE=EvilZx;20261665]Too many times to count, they will not take my advice at all. I tell them everytime he has his DS in his hands to not let him play. They don't give a fuck about my opinion.
And my brother doesn't care about what I say either, he WILL ignore it. My parents don't see me as a mature figure, even if I'm heading to College soon and I help them with bills and stuff like that. :S[/QUOTE]
if i were you, i'd stop giving a shit about your little brother. and your parents. you're almost to the age where you're responsible for your own body; try to fix some things up(or wreck some family bonds for the hell of it) before you're out on the streets. if your parents and little brother remain douchebags who do not respect your opinion and baby-feed him "the life", then let them have it. it'll be their fault for screwing up their child's future, not yours.

and quit bitching to your little brother about his failures; there's no point trying to climb the rope if you've got no hands. you're not some uptight parent, you're his older brother; give him a model to build on, and one he can be comfortable with if you want to accomplish a bond with your little brother.
I'm the oldest of two and if anything I am treat more easily, but then I get into trouble less. My sister isn't exactly a trouble maker as such, she just has more of an attitude and argues back with everything.
[QUOTE=Jund;20266423]My mom always sides with my older sister on when to turn off our computers because apparently playing video games for 2 hours is worse than going on Facebook for 2 hours.[/QUOTE]
My parents can't really grasp the concept that you can actually socialize inside a computer game. Whenever I play TF2 I never do it because I need to shoot something, I do it to have some fun with a couple of friends.

My sister is this way to, she always pull the "STOP ACTING LIKE YOU'RE BETTER THAN ME" card whenever she realies she's wrong.
