I always thought my sister was favored over me growing up. As I got older and started talking to my parents more I realized that they just never quite knew what to make of me or how to talk to me. I wasn't interested in hanging out with them or doing the things my sister did with them. Watch and see what your brother does to get special attention. Talk to your mom, do not accuse her of favoring your brother or she will get defensive and then you'll just fight. Running away from home is not the answer to your problems!

Understand that you parents have a lot on their minds with raising you and your brother, their careers and life outside the workplace. Is your brother graduating or moving onto a new chapter of his life? Is he successful? Just ride it through, your brother may need the extra attention for now. It will only last a while if something like this is taking place. I would talk with your parents about it and tell them how you feel. That always seems to work. Don't run away from home, that will only make the problem worse.

hey i know where your comming from on this. my whole family always favored my brother more.he was the first boy and i was the 4th girl (grandkids wise) everyone did everything for him.i never felt liek i got the attention i should have.and it hasnt changed much.i just made myself one promise and ive stuck with it.i always said when i had kids of my own no one would show favorites around them. thats fine if you have apick but it wont be shown.and it hasnt. when my mother in law trys to show it i get in her face.it still hurts but not as much now as it did when i was a teenager.i had to work for everything while it was all handed to my brother.but it teaches you to be a better person and a lot stronger one too.i can say that time wont change it though.i wish i could tell you something different.but its the truth.you just have to learn to deal with the fact that youll always be second best when it comes to you and him.no matter how much better you are or do..you can always think of it like this to he isnt as well off as you. you are indenpant and able to hold your own and he cant thats why she is always there for him.running away dont do anything for the long picture it just makes them worse cuz youll come back one day and youll still have the same issues just they will have become even bigger by then.

Silly you!! Most kids your age feel this way. Its just a passing phase. However, if you feel very strongly about it, sit your mom down and tell her very gently that, what she does, kind of upsets you. Also tell her how you feel like running away from home. She is your mom and she will quickly realise it and take you in her wing.
You know, sometimes, as children we feel that we do not get "the attention" that we seek from our moms & dads. Therefore it is our perception and feeling only, whereas parents dont really differentiate normally. In out of the normal cases, children have to point it out to their parents - the elders also need to be taught a few gentle lessons sometimes, by their children, by talking to them - NOT BY RUNNING AWAY!

Do not run away.Your mom will worry about you and will call the police.Therefore,they will take you to some pyscho hospital,reported as a runaway.
Favoritism in the family is a HUGE issue.
You need to talk to your mom.You need to tell her,"Mom,we need to talk." Do not start pointing the fingers at her.Don't begin with "YOU" Maybe,say ,"Mom,I've been kind of stressing lately that you favor (name of brother) more than me." Then,explain why you feel this way.

are there valid reasons that your mom is favoring your brother?
If there are you should work on improving those things,
If there are not you need to them make sure that you are objective in your assessment because it could be just your perception.
I would suggest you have a talk with your mother. This talk should be done on a happy moment not when you guys are arguing.
hope this helps
keep a chin up. All things pass

Just wait your time out. It seemed to me that being a teenager felt like being in jail, all you can do is count down those days till you're 18 and can move out. You can spend your time waiting working to save money for that move out day. It doesn't really matter who the favorite is...all kids end up changing their parents minds by their actions as adults. Best wishes
