my newborn niece

Yes, it is very normal. Everybody loves a new baby and that's a tough thing to get used to. If you can bring yourself to help out with the baby, it could accomplish two things: 1. you'd get more attention/admiration for being such a great helper 2. you may grow to really love this baby and get over your jealous feelings. Remember, there was a time when you were new and little, and you got all the attention. Right now it's the baby's turn, but it will pass.

Yes, especially if he/she is getting all the attention right now and you're being shunted aside like yesterday's newspaper. Hang in there...when they realize that you are mature and independent and not crying all night and needing frequent diaper changes and feedings, the 15 year old will start to look really good again, really soon! For now, try to be as helpful as possible and realize (I'm sure you do) that they baby is the newest family event and they are mesmerized. It's hard not to be, but it will fade somewhat. Hang in there!

At 15, your are still a child
First, is it your baby? a siblings? a niece or nephew?
Yes. Because you are still a child, and you miss the attention that the baby is given
What to do, depends on how the baby is relative to you

Yes, a parent's child can be jealous even when they're older than 15... Just look on the bright side, you will be able to have a little more freedom to develop your own interests, and in a few months you will have a great little person who will adore you just as much as your parents.

It's completely normal because most of the attention has focused from you to the new baby. Get used to it. Make peace with the baby now because you will need to get the jealousy under control anyway...

Perfectly normal :) You had more attention before they were born and here they come stealing the spotlight. Perfectly understandable. It will pass eventually. She/he won't need all that attention forever and eventually you'll love the little rug-crawler. Hope this helps :)

Yes, you can be jealous of all the baby's attention and think that you don't have any. No matter how old you are.
