You shouldn't have to do anything, one day you should tell your mom, "hey, can we go to the mall? just us?" and then you guys can chat and you can tell her you feelings. But if all else fails, join something, like a club or sport, and they'll learn to appreciate you talents and hard work. Good luck! :D

That's the middle child syndrome. I was a middle child.
The oldest gets attention because of just that....he/she is the oldest. And, most held responsible for the younger ones.
The youngest gets the attention because of just that....he/she is the baby. The baby is always the attention getter.
The middle child...well, we kind of get the short end of the stick. It's something we have to live with. We don't like it, and we don't feel good about it. But, have faith in knowing that they really don't intentionally mean for it to appear that they love you any less than the others.
You can always talk to them about it...but, my remedy was being the best I could be at EVERYTHING I did. I was the "A" student with talent, neither of my siblings even liked school; they went because they HAD to. Explore one of your gifts/talents, and go with it. You'll be more fulfilled and happy about it.

Humm...from what I'vee seen in family relations...I'v noticed that the middle child is always the one who lacks the least attention from their parents/siblings. I don't know for what reason this may be, but maybe you should sit them down and talk to them...it always helps to talk about the way you feel. If your in school (which you probably are) getting good grades, and doing what is right by them always helps, help around the house, talk to them more often, see what happens....good luck hun..

How much time do you have for your family? My Granddaughter is a young teen, who has no time for anyone over 16 or under 12. She prefers to be on the phone and/or Internet at all times. She likes going places with her friends, spending the night with or having her friends spend the night. She becomes rude and obnoxious if any of her family wants her to do anything else. So, In all fairness to you, I don't know you or your age. make sure that you are letting your family be a part of your life. Talk to them,share experiences, have time for them. You may be surprised with how much they really care

The squeaky wheel gets the grease...I imagine your brothers probably need more attention because they are not as good a kid as you...so they are usually in the center of attention...when it comes to who deserves to be rewarded, you will be on the top of their list...this could be a blessing in disguise...count your blessings...it will work itself out...good luck.

Stuck in the middle doesn't sound like a good spot to be in.
Talk to your parents about how "invisible" you are feeling. Let them know you are unhappy with it.
Try to get your mom aside and ask for some special time with just the two of you.

Do good things for yourself, to better yourself. This will bring the right kind of attention to you.
