hi well i am the youngest child out in my family. The only children are me and my brother. My brother is older than me and is into sports and he has a talent in it. I am good at school. But lately my school work has slipped and my brother is getting all good grades and my parents wont stop and talking him and how great he is and he has everything. Good friends, a Talent, Smarts, and Looks. I dont think i have any of that. My parents use to pay me alot of attention. They still pay me attention and i love them, theyre great parents, but i guess im a little jealous of my brother. What can i do?

Talk to mum and dad about how you feel

Let him have the spotlight for awhile. He may be good in sports but not many people become professional athletes. He's going to need a good education and if his grades are better than ususal; I'm sure your parents are relieved. Maybe they are giving him so much attention so he'll keep up the momentum with his grades. If you know your parents love you that's all that matters.

Try a little harder in school and get those grades back up. Your parents love you and I'm sure they're proud of you too. Your problem is how you feel about yourself. You're young and have to try out a lot of different things before you find your talent, but it's there.

Hmmm I would say try to do something really incredible. Like tell your parents you found $50 in front of McDonalds and turned it in or something...maybe even if it didnt happen. Or just start doing better in school. Im sure at one point in time your brother felt the same way about u--cause your the youngest, you got good grades, got attentention, etc. It switches back and fourth im sure. try not to think about it to much--worry about YOUR life and not how your brothers supposedly "good" life. Cause we all have problems--and some of us hide them better tto us then others.
Good luck!

You suffer from a problem most children of bigger families do. Its called sibling rivalry.
Most therapists are going to say its a family problem. That the entire family needs to sit down and have counseling. I ain't gonna tell you that.
You want recognition? You gotta work for it. Go out and earn the respect and admiration you seek, and make your brother jealous of you. Its not going to come easy, and its going to go on for the rest of your life. Be ready

Just be yourself... and stop thinking about what's in life for you. Start helping others and doing random acts of kindness. People will love you for what you give, not what you take. By giving yourself away, you become a very fulfilled person.

tell your parents how you feel and work a little harder at school maybe even get advice on sports and school and stuff from your brother

First off, tell your parents how you feel, and that you would also like to be praised on accomplishments you made. Another good idea would be to find something you truely like to do as a hobbie and do that! It will be something you like and having fun doing it! Hope that helps you.

loss of attention because you were the youngest, the baby, and all.
now your brother is mr. popularity with his accomplishments.
be happy for your brother, see how your envy is affecting your grades and self-esteem.
instead of envying him, do the right thing and do your own accomplishment.
dont be like Jan Brady: Marcia, Marcia, Marcia, its always Marcia!
