Okay, so this isn't really a relationship question, but here goes:

I'm 14, nearly 15. I have a little sister, who's 10, nearly 11.

My little sister is, essentially, I spoiled brat. She gets WHATEVER she wants, and gets away with EVERYTHING.

I LOVE to sing, it's one of the only things in my life that gives me joy, excepting my Scout Troup and boyfriend. Earlier on today, I was singing along to one of my favourite songs. I'm not the best singer in the world, but people tell me that I'm good, and I do a lot of performances with school and my theatre group. But because I was singing, my little sister told my Mom, and I was told to stop, so I did. My little sister, who had been watching TV switched off the TV and left the room, so I started singing again. She then ran back in, screamed, and called my Mom. Mom came in, and told me that if I carried on singing, I wouldn't be allowed to go to scouts next week, or meet up with my boyfriend later. Bear in mind, that it's important that I practice my singing, because I have lessons, and different things to rehearse for.

Later on, my little sister started practicing her Violin, which sounds like the gates of hell, whilst I was trying to watch the TV. I told my Mom, and she just shrugged at me, like there was nothing she could do, when I know she could. This happens on a daily basis, in various situations, and it always ends with either me giving in, or me being punished, and my little sister getting away with it. How can I point out to my Mom just how unfair she's being???

Ich_liebe_dich agony aunthey sweety, i dont understand why sometimes mother has a favoritism in her childrens. but i will give you a little Story that maybe could give some guide. I WAS A SINGER. I am a singer. i started when i was 9 years old. i join singing contest and never go home without a trophy. My mother never aprriciated what i did she actually the first person who full me down. she love my older sister since my sister is more pretty than i am. but i never get jelous with my sister, im fine with it. She always try to stop me. But i never follow her. when i turn 15 i become a singer in a radio station, so pity that people can hear me in the radio and happy to listen to me but never my mother. I go on and follow my heart, I try to show to her that she can also sometimes be proud of me. till i finish my school get married i never stop singing, i go abroad untill 37 years old of my life im always hoping that maybe my mother will already ok and at least a little bit proud of me. But that is only a dream of mine because it did not happen. she never been proud of me, she never appriciate me, she dont even care about my certificate, trophys, medals all my stuff from singing. so just last year i stop singing, i stay home with my husband and now im 38. i just say to my self, OK" i did my best, i did all my best but she really did not appriciate me, i give up my hope but at least i made people happy because of my singing. I have the same question in my mind like you. i have the same thought just like you before, but i just say, ok, at least she love my sister, dont mind about me because a lot people loves me too. so be it, i try to be content to that. So baby, move to your goal, if you wanna be a singer stand to it, but just dont forget your study too its also important that we have a good education. having a boyfriend is normal but dont take it too serious, take it for fun and put it only in experience, your still young and you will have more good experience coming up in the future. I wish i hear you someday in the tv singing.. Good luck...
