As I'm the oldest daughter having an average face and categorized as a short girl, while my younger sister is beautiful, tall, and look like a model. Sometimes I feel that we are treated differently in some manner. I know that her love to us is not different. But, I still feel jealous in some occasion.

I think you may be projecting your own feelings. Ultimately Mothers will love all their daughters equally, but it may 'show' differently due to individual perspective. i.e. you feel a touch resentful due to jealousy so every nice act your mother does, or everything she lets her get away with, is magnified. I wouldn't worry about it - It's nothing you should stress about. Learn to be content with yourself, and you'll be amazed how brighter the world will be.

Sure it's true. Good looking people are treated different than ugly people or average looking people. If you don't believe it just look around I see it everyday. People will hold the door for a good looking woman even if she a block away, for a ugly woman 10 feet at most. Tall people are treated better than short people, and skinning people are treated better than fat people. Why, because humans suck, humans are cruel, and humans are taught at a early age that looks matter.

I am sorry to say parents do treat children differently.
My twin sister and I were treated like we were slaves. My brother was the king of the home and got anything and everything he wanted. My youngest sister who was blond and beautiful was given everything and told often how pretty she was. My twin and I wore thick ugly glasses and had to work from the age of 13 to earn money for our clothes and we paid rent and still had to clean and cook and do the dishes. My brother and sister never did a dish, cleaned or paid rent!!!!!!!!!!! We received no gift for graduation and on our birthdays. My brother got a car for his graduation and was given the down payment for a home. My youngest sister got a car for graduation and down payment for a home. My twin and I received nothing were total they owed us nothing they put us thur 12 years of school. My reply you put us thur 10 years the last two we paid for everything we were working and going to school. On my birthday, I took my youngest sister to lunch and when I walked into the restruant, there sat my mother with flowers and a gift for her. My birthday had been six weeks previous and I did not get even a card. My twin got nothing either. My mother and dad would have seafood and invite my brother and youngest sister down for dinner . My twin and I never got an invitation. My sister in law ask me why we did not come I told her we were never invited.
The list goes on and on so I know that parents do treat children differently and they did it my whole life.

Well not to make you feel any worse but there are 4 girls in my family and YES mothers do make a difference....My mom had her picks and I wasn't one of them. I have never felt that she loved me as much as the other 3 but 2 of the other more than one of them. Its sad to see how things like that work. But Also see it in the way she loves her grand children also...I am sorry...

It's not surprising. If I was the father in a household like that I would have different rules about dating for each daughter. I think it makes sense that a mother would do some things different also.

That could be true. I have seen moms dote on the beautiful daughter and ignore the average looking daughter. Tell your mom how you feel. She may not realize that she is favoring one to another.

Of course, but on the surface only in order to take advantage of 'her' uniqueness. Find your own specialness and remind everyone about it by being an exemplary role model. Remember, actions speak louder than words - looks only get someone's attention - it's what's inside the person that keeps their attention.

Brandy, that is your issue, not your mom's. It is absolutely NOT TRUE that your mother feels differently about you and yoru sister.
I bet you are beautiful too. You just are "different" from your sister.

your younger sister probably gets preferential treatment because she is younger..its kind of a normal thing with parents and i dont think any NORMAL parent will act differently based on beauty

I am not sure why you feel this way but I think that you should talk to your mother and let her know how you feel.
