Well my relatives such as grandma, aunts, uncles, and cousins cannot be trusted. My mom's side has a bunch of stingy and greedy untrustworthy people who conspire against one another. My father's side has a lot of arrogant snobs who use you when they need you and ignore you when they don't need you. Not everyone is like that but most of them. Because of their stupid behavior I feel resentment for them. They always try to take advantage of my family and I can't stand it. I just wish i was successful in the future so they can't mock us again but I'm still a teen getting there or trying. Any of you guys ever experienced this or what do you think or do? Please no insults thanks all, I appreciate it.

The good part in all this is that you came out with a good sense of values and arent anything like them. All you can do about them is to help protect your family from them and speak up when you can to make sure they dont abuse anyone you love.
This experience has also prepared you for the world where you will run into people like this constantly.
If I were you I would have as little to do with these relatives as possible and save your energy for the relatives who are honest.
Every family has at least one bad relative you just happened to get a rats nest of them.

Friends are the family we choose for ourselves.
I remember reading this awhile back and it is so true. Just because they are family we are expected to like them but family members can be a nightmare and it's okay to feel dislike and accept you won't get along with some people because you are different people even if your are blood related.
If I were you I would try to let go of the resentment and instead learn from them, remind yourself the way they behave is not how you want to be, don't stoop to their level and be proud of yourself for being different from them!
Good luck.

Just because you're related doesn't mean you have to take their crud. It sounds like you're taking this bad situation and using it to motivate you to succeed. I think that's good. Just realize that you won't be forced to be around them for very much longer, so be strong, cope as best you can, and strive to be better. Don't let the opinions of people like that bother you for a moment.

Unfortunately you don't get to choose your family.
If you know they can't be trusted, don't trust them.
Right now there's not much you can do.
As you get older that will change.
Don't let yourself get bitter about it.
Just protect yourself where you can.
Living well is the best revenge.

Welcome to my life.
Except my family are really nothing like that. They just can't be trusted.
Ugh. The sooner i'm away from here the better..
Just keep your head down. I'm guessing only a couple more years...
