The greatest lesson you can learn when becoming an adult, is to accept the consequences of your actions. As for sibling rivalry, you will have to forge your own path in this world. That does not mean look for shock factors to get attention. Just follow your wants and desires to achieve a lifestyle or living arrangement that you are happy with. Pleasing other people only leaves a person feeling hollow in the end.

If you want to be treated in a more mature and even fashion you need to act more mature. Take your punishments because you know what you did was wrong when you did it. But after all the bruhaha has calmed down, sit down and have a good long talk with both your parents. Let them know how you feel - that they favor your sister (it helps if you can point to specific events or incidents where similar things have happened and they reacted differently to each of you). The good news is that you aren't in high school forever and will grow up and be able to be on your own and not have to live with other people's approval and rules. The first person you need to receive love from is yourself, also. Make yourself proud and other people will be proud of you. Love yourself and others will love you. You cannot properly love others or receive love from others until you learn to love yourself. Good luck and God Bless.

you did make a big mistake - not only once but a few times. you knew what you were doing was wrong but you thought you could get away with it. now you are scared on what's going to happen. if anything, learn from this, you never forge anyones name to anything. that's not respecting yourself or the person you are deceiving. you are trying to blame everyone but yourself - your mom's illness has nothing to do with your problem, you created your own problem. saying what she would do or wouldn't do for your sister, has nothing to do with what YOU did. you don't really know what she would do if this was your sister's problem. what you did, is no small deal, if your mom allows you to get away with this, you'll do this, and, more than likely, other things that are not correct. it's time for you to grow up, admit what you did wrong, take responsibility for it, take the punishment, and most importantly, realize that you don't want to make the same mistake again. you don't have to lie to get through life, it certainly makes life more complicated.

Regardless, you did something really wrong, and you have to take your hits like a man.
You may perceive that your mum likes sis more, but you may be reading that all wrong. Your Mum and your sis are both females, and they have a bit of things more in common. You see this as favoritism, when it may simply be that they can talk the same talk.
You can get more attention by working harder at the academics, and knocking off the bad behaviors. Surprise your mum by being good and offering to help out at home.

So what does being compared to your sister have to do with forging your mother's name?
You were wrong, you KNOW you did wrong, and the best thing you can do now is to own up to what you done and accept the punishment.

Face up to the fact that YOU made a mistake, It doesn't have anything to do with your sister or the problem with your mom. You have to be your own person - so stop obsessing about what you sister has that you don't

Go to your school and tell them yourself, that way you can tell them why you did it. Say that you have been going thru a lot lately w/ your mom being in the mental ward. They will feel sorry for you and be more likely to forgive you.

I think you need to talk to your parents. Sometimes there is preferences because she is older but maybe they dont want you to make mistakes that she has made. You shouldnt let that bother you just be you and prove them wrong

well talk to your mom and tell her the error of her ways, she may listen and act differently. plus though it might not be fair, the first born is always treated the best until a baby boy is born

Tell her to go ahead and tell the school, they can ask her why didn't she sign the papers herself. Will she be honest enough to tell them why?
